Choose Somewhere Else!!!

The room was ok. While the pictures were kind of accurate, the bathroom was sub-par and could have been cleaner, I have no idea when the last time the AC filter was changed and there was paint chipping everywhere. As a solo female traveler, I was also not entirely comfortable in the area. The next morning when I went to turn my key in and check out early, the kid behind the desk simply said "you will not be getting a refund", without even asking how my stay was. Wow, ok, so much for hospitality. I was extremely offended that he assumed that's what I was going ask for. In truth, I was going to apologize for any inconvenience and thank them, as I was only making a quick stopover for a family funeral. There are at least 6-7 hotels/motels in this area and I would strongly suggest another one. I will never return here again.

Very nice for an overnight stay

The hotel itself was very nice. The breakfast buffet was very good. Top notch for cleanliness. The room was spacious and very comfortable. A few repairs to the bathroom are necessary. The paint had peeled from the wall behind the door. The shower floor left a bit to be desired. They had painted it, and it too, was peeling. We didn't want to step in that area of the shower which surrounded the drain. Housekeeping needs to be better trained on how to clean a toilet. Overall, these repairs would not deter us from staying there again. We liked our room and the bed was very comfortable.

When I first checked in there were shady people in the lobby but obviously they were guests just in the lobby. Not the problem. I got to my room and there was a roach on the desk. It ran behind the desk and I went to the bathroom and there was a bug in the bathtub. The tv was also stuck in Spanish. I went to the front desk and asked for another room and they were very nice and gave me one. You can tell the hotel is older and was remodeled. It wasn’t what I was expecting but the beds were comfortable!! Besides the roach it wasn’t too bad and there is a ihop, Applebees and bar on the same street in walking distance!
