Perfect spot if you are planning to attend an event at the Acrisure Arena. Room was clean and came with a mini fridge. Taco Bell and Del Taco are walking distance.

I stayed on the property and had no issues at all. I have a Dooley truck with a 40 foot trailer and they were nice enough to let me park in the front. When I’m traveling on the road at times it’s difficult to find a place to stay at because of parking. I had no issues at all. AC was really cold. It’s an older place, but it’s taken care of.

Clean room, facilities, parking was simple and provided. Air condition in room was fantastic. We would have liked an ironer for our clothes or perhaps a microwave available in the room, but other than that and that the hotel staff doesnt come and ask if we needed more toilet paper or towels, good experience. Wasn’t sure if we needed to put confirmation with a sign that wasn’t available or we had to go to front desk to inform staff, but will be noted for next time.

First non-smoking room i was given smelled heavily of smoke. Staff was quick to change rooms for me. Second room wasn't cleaned properly. Soda cans left on window sill. I dont think the bed sheets were changed as chip crumbs were on the comforter and under the bed sheets....so that just about sums it up. I will be going somewhere else in the future. I just ended up sleeping in my sleeping bag on top of the bed after too tired to deal with the hassle of changing rooms again

I’ve stayed at a lot of cheap ass motels and while the staff was very friendly, they have the worst beds I’ve ever slept in. I couldn’t even turn over in the bed, it was so bad and ended up with extreme back pain.
