Room - good; parking lot - not.
The deluxe room was a clean, spacious room - was great for the four of us. Parking lot and exterior were a little disconcerting as we pulled in, but we had an overall good stay.

This place was such a dump I decided not to stay. I can't get a refund either. Don't believe the reviews. Methheads wandering around.

Just your average hotel. Nothing stands out. The heat was hard to adjust. It is an older system. Employees were nice. Easy check in. Easy location.

Came to understand after we checked out that the hotel uses some rooms as a half-way house. We were wondering what was up when there was an armed security officer in the lobby at 6 p.m. when we checked in and at 9:30 p.m. when we returned to the hotel.

I don’t want to be too negative. It’s probably about right for the price. Apparently “under new ownership.” It felt slightly sketchy, unkempt, smelly, outdated. The staff was taking smoke breaks outside our window. It’s the type of place you try not to think too much about touching things, carpet, comforter, furniture, etc.

The rooms were clean. The front desk staff were kind of indifferent. Not very welcoming. Empty coffee carafes and asked about it and they kind of said “oh well.” Would have liked a cup of coffee. Price is inexpensive so I get it.

My expectations were pretty low...we booked the last room (literally) on the same day. Doesn't look that impressive from outside, but our basic room was clean, comfortable and pleasant. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

The staff were friendly enough and our room was clean. There was a coffee pot, microwave and refrigerator in the room which was nice. The dispensers in the room like the shampoo, hand soap, etc. were all empty. Lastly the location isn’t ideal but we were in town for WE Fest and every other hotel in town was ridiculously priced.

Fantastic.
The price was great and I had no issues with anything. I have been at a lot of hotels.,Some were more fancier than others but this is the first time I had coffee in my room with a Keurig coffee maker. Fantastic.
