Good hotel on a budget!

Service and staff were all very very nice! The room was pretty clean a few lil stains on the walls nothing horrible tho. Bed was okay at best. The biggest complaint was not enough pillows. Room only came with 2 pillows, went to the front desk 3 times asking for pillows and only got 1 the last time I went and the parking lot a lil weird if you drive a full size truck like I do.
