Great hotel near lots of food and stores close in needed. Laundry mat next door to hotel so easy washing for travelers. Staff is top notch. Rooms are clean and serviced but not the Ritz - so don’t expect that. Simple, clean and affordable.

It felt like a safe room, though when we walked in it smelled heavily of cigarettes. Also, there was a diaper under one of the beds. It was a little gross but not the worst hotel I've ever stayed at for the price it was. The staff were very sweet and nice, helped with where to go for food and events happening. Free coffee in the lobby :)

First of all the gentlemen working the front desk was fantastic. Very nice man. I had a lot on my mind. It was not in a good mood, but he was very professional. The hotel room was clean. That's all you could ask for it's a great little hotel for the price. To the gentleman that was working the following morning during checkout if a guest talks to you and says good morning and you completely ignore them. That's not a good thing.

Room was nasty and in a terrible location! Sketchy area! Did not feel safe at all! People in the adjacent room fought all night long! My window was unlocked. Thankfully we always check!

This hotel is exactly what you pay for, it’s not the fanciest, it’s not the most expensive, but the bed looked clean and organized. I did kill 2 cockroaches in my bathroom, but it’s the south and that’s not totally uncommon (I live in Florida). There was some discoloration near the shower area on the wall, and I’m guessing it was mold. The door seals were non existent, and there’s some road noise. But it’s a place to crash which is how we used it.
For the positives, staff was friendly, tv was easy to use with channels. Bed was clean and ac worked.
Location is close to the highway where you can hear it. Area around hotel is kinda sketchy but I felt safe and secure the hotel property.

the staff were super helpful, they allowed me to check in a few hours early (with a call ahead). parking was not a hassle and getting to my room was fine, but it was noisy at night, the door to our room was worrisome as you could hear and see on the inside but on the outside it looked normal. in all honesty i probably would stay again there is absolutely nothing better (i know there’s worse).

This property would have potential if they painted the rooms and replaced the stained chairs. The location was great, it was within a bus station.
