The onsite staff were very nice and helpful. Checking in with the offsite screen was odd, but easy enough. Rooms were clean and updated. Location was fine with minimal homeless around. Location was good, close to highway, gas and grocery stores.

“Nicely remodeled rooms and a great value—definitely one of the best deals in town! The virtual check-in process was fast and convenient, with room keys dispensed automatically. However, it was a bit confusing since there was also someone behind the front desk, yet no human interaction took place

Do not stay here

The floor had not been swept. Covered in dirt and debris. So much i couldnt take my shoes off, without my feet getting gross stuff stuck to it. There was loose tobacco on the night stand, clearly not wired or cleaned. Hairs in the sink, shower and pubes in the toilet. The bed felt as if it was broken, one side was much higher than the other, to the point i could get no sleep and hurt my back all night. Explained it to the manager in the morning, not only did he not care, he assured me that the beds were new and i was wrong. Very frustrating experience. Also the someome came in to notify the owner that a dog was loose on the property, he immediately dismissed it and blamed the homeless and was very rude, the gentleman than told him he waa one of the homeless nextdoor and that it wasnt any of their dogs. The owner scoffed at the man and turned his nose up, and gave the biggest look of disgust. Couldnt even hide it. It honestly was very cringe and i couldnt believe the owner had so little professionalism. No offer for a discount, ir a discounted future stay. Its sad that the room was as gross as it was, and that the owner felt no need to take responsibility. I will not be staying here in the future, even tho over the years this is probably my 6th or 7th visit. I understand cheap hotels. But not filthy and so uncomfortable you can even sleep.

The room we stayed in smelled so bad like wet dog. I understand that pets are allowed, but it was so bad when we opened the door. They could at least take care of the air quality in the room.
