Felt a little unsafe. Property didn’t look well kept. The person who checked me in was wonderful. When I got to my room it smelled bad. The bed and bathroom were clean. I would only stay here again if I had no other choice. The couch in the room was torn & tattered too.

The a/c heater unit in my room did not work. We drove almost 1000 miles and were too tired. Luckily the weather was not too hot or cold. There was hair on the bathroom floor. Again we were so tired that we just went to bed.

It isn't the cleanest hotel room. The comfy chair upholstery has almost worn through. Half a box of kleenex wasn't what I needed. The room needs a makeover. The door has a lot of lighting around its edges meaning it energy efficiency is terrible, but it does let outside sound through.
