Beds were very comfortable and very quiet, some of the rooms were being renovated.they are very nice, The only issue was our sink didn't drain well, I would suggest pulling up the plug and cleaning the hair wrapped in it

We had a great experience with this spot. No, not the most luxurious space to stay in, but the customer service was so fantastic that it didn’t even matter. They are there for you & to make your accommodations as comfortable as possible. They continue to improve the building as time goes on, so I know this will continue to build and grow to accommodate more customers down the road. Thank you!

I stayed for just one night as a halfway point on a road trip. It’s a really fair price for a hotel room. The front desk staff was really kind and welcoming. The room, overall, was decent. Clean and comfortable for the most part, but the carpet seemed like it needed a very thorough vacuum. There was a hair or two in the shower. And lastly, a sliver of the front door in the bottom left corner was missing, which let light in from the hallway. I assume people in the hallway would be able to see if someone was in the room if the lights were on, which didn’t give me a huge sense of security.

Guy at the front desk who moved me did the best he and the hotel could but this experience made me realize that I'm too bougie to stay one of the most affordable places so I'll spend a little more somewhere else for my next visit.
