The property was an excellent value in a safe area with some great food offerings. It was very close to the Expo arena which was my reason for traveling there.

Disappointed
Place was clean & updated. Arrived about 10 & front door was locked.
Posted listed kitchenette, but it only had a toaster. Had planned to cook eggs, but no pan & stove didn't turn on. Disappointing as I didn't realize you would have to bring everything. Pointless when traveling.
Room was very large, beds comfortable & nice hot shower.

Clean & thrifty price room.
Good, basic, clean room for 1 night stay. Had a fridge, microwave, stovetop & kitchen sink- that we did not use.
Great price. Location was great for a Mystic Lake Casino event. 4 miles from casino & $200 cheaper per night.

Nice staff, nice room, affordable. Only downside was that we woke up to our room reeking like cigarettes and all our bags/clothes smelled like smoke too. Didnt smell at all when we checked in.

Strong Pot Smell shabby room
We arrived very late - 2am. I called on the phone and the staff let us in. First impression was BAD. Lobby was dirty and the entire floor smelled like pot and a very strong perfume that maybe was used to try to cover up the pot smell. Also, 3 police cars were in the parking lot when I arrived. The room appeared clean but bathroom door and paint were worn & rusty. The smoke detector was covered with what looked like dried wet paper towels or something . I'm not sure if that meets fire code. I'm assuming it was that way because of the pot smoking but it was a no smoking room. I was kind of grossed out by the initial problems- police, terrible smell, dirt, rust & broken bathroom door, that I never really felt comfortable. But we didn't have any other issues with our stay.

A place to sleep.
I was not a fan of the bed, as it was quite uncomfortable. Thankfully, I brought my own pillow because there were only two pillows on each bed and they were flat. I woke up in a fair amount of pain. Other than that everything seemed clean and in working order. We had plenty of towels, and the air conditioning worked.

This property could use a lot of TLC. Rooms have been updated, however they are still very shabby and run down. The entire property could use an update! The site needs a good deep cleaning, carpets, windows , walls and common areas. On the positive, it is quiet. The staff was responsive and knowledgeable. It is obviously a place for construction workers and transient residents, which is okay, however they also deserve upgraded, clean and updated facilities. Of note, the TV is the smallest ever, maybe 25 or 30 inch!
