Awesome 😎
Candice, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was horrible. I tried to give her my identification from the beginning because I knew she would need it and could possibly use it to look up the reservation. She didn’t take it, asked for my name, then proceeded to tell me she didn’t have a reservation for me. I started to panic but she had just smelled something incorrect. Then came back and asked for my identification. I did get a smoking room but it smelled really horribly, I didn’t want to eat my food inside the room. The tub had stains.

Linda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worse stay ever.

We get to the room all seems find. The we had gray water that was coming from the ceiling above the toilet that well on me as i was using the restroom i reported it the i was moved to a double when i rented a king with no compensation just a "I'm sorry" which is a downgrade. Then they didnt fix it they just cleaned it and re-rented it to someone else. This was horrible. To the point we checked out early. Then at check out they say i own them MORE money for the room change. I wish i would have taken photos it was room123 tho!

Convenient location and staff is really friendly. No, it's not a 5star, but clean and comfortable.
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Parking was terrible. Trucks with trailers took up 4 or more spaces. The room was dated and had no tv. There was a TV but no connection. The chain for security was broken off the door and just hung off the slot.

Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My son (who has special needs) and I had a long, rough day traveling and things not working to plan (do they ever, really?). Getting checked in was quick, and the staff was super accommodating.
Melinda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lady behind the desk is very nice but the fact that I woke up at 3:00 in the morning and I had bed bugs on me and I have over 20 bites on my head and arms infuriates me and the fact that I won't get my money back for over 2 weeks
Dan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok stay

Condition was worn and pet friendliness needs to be more spacific alon with fees. Front desk lady was nice.
