It was an average stay, the bed was comfortable the breakfast was great! The only thing is the pool was closed so I think they should have lowered their rate a bit, because that amenity wasn’t available. The cleanliness was ok. When walking into the front doors it would help the place look better if the windows were clean.

Comfortable but….

The beds and pillows were comfortable . Staff was very nice. The room had black mold in the bathroom both on the walls and in the shower. There were beer tabs and trash behind the chair in the room.

Room had a smell to it. Carpets in the room were very dirty and stained. Beds were comfortable and loved pillows. Did not get much sleep because of all the noise in the hallway.

As a business traveler with a truck and trailer, my biggest concern everywhere I go is the safety of my truck and customer product onboard. ZERO complaints for here. Very friendly and accommodating. I will continue to stay when coming through the area.
