Not bad overall, gas station and pizza place right across the street. Hotel is a good choice for short stays, price was not bad but check a couple times. I notice price changes by 20-25 a night depending on how you check and when.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
We found it rather dirty. The parking lot was very dirty as well. The carpets need cleaning and the floors need a good scrubbing in the room. No bar soap for the bath and no shower soap. The second night we were there they had an event on the main floor. The loud base from the music meant we could not get to sleep until after midnight on the 3rd floor!! The beds were very comfortable and clean. Pillows were great! Would not stay there again and would not recommend to anyone else. Price was great.
