Overall Good Budget Hotel

Informative and friendly staff, generally clean room but dirty when you look closely. Clean sheets, but caked dust by microwave, dead roaches indicating the floors haven’t been cleaned. Pet friendly which is nice, relatively quiet but off a 35mph highway. Overall a decent stay, will come back and hopefully they’ve done some spraying.

Exterior was littered with little black bugs everywhere. There was so many in front of the door to our room we didn’t even go inside. We arrived just after dark and the parking lot was dark and we felt unsafe. I was told no rooms were available on the well lit side of the property. Didn’t end up staying here. Asked for a refund within 15 minutes of checking in since we didn’t enter the room. Was told to contact manager in a couple days for a refund.

Mr Cement Boots

My room was clean and well stocked with towels and all essentials. I was grateful due to my handicap that I got a room on the bottom floor. I however was not grateful for the upstairs neighbors whom walked around with cement boots all night. I was there comfortable, sleeping...until upstairs Mr. Cement boots decided to take off said boots, one at a time..BOOM.....BOOM. Startled wide awake at 3am...
