I was apprehensive about some of the reviews, but I have to say, I had a good stay at Microtel Inn. The grounds outside were clean with good smell of food from a couple of food trucks in the parking lot of the two gas stations. The hotel is situated with in 5 minute drive of several good restaurants and shopping centers like Walmart. The hotel was quiet when I was there. My room was very clean and had no smell of smoke, as it was a nonsmoking room. The bed is very firm, a little too firm for my liking. There was a bench near the window, which made for extra seating and a desk with 2 chairs for eating or working, so I didn't need to be on the bed that much. Breakfast was they typical bread and cereal with a waffle maker. Nothing special, but the area was clean. I even noticed the ladies cleaning and mopping within 30 minutes of breakfast ending. They even cleaned and disinfected the trash cans! The front desk being encased behind glass was a little unnerving, but I did not feel unsafe while I was there for the 2 nights I stayed.
