The property is located close to Walmart and other amenities. There is one thing that this hotel needs to improve is to clean the rooms daily or every other day and not after every 5 days.

Both our bathrooms had quite a bit of ants and one of our toilets was clogged when we got in our room and when I tried to call the from desk, our phone wouldn’t work so I had to walk all the way to the front desk to see if they could help us out and they handed me a plunger to fix the toilet and then told me to just run the bathtub to get the ants to go away even though they were all over the floor.

The suite was fine enough, but there was only 2 pans in our room to cook anything. All of the trash cans are extremely small and there is no place to take the trash when the bag is full. The toilet backed up and would not flush in one of the bedrooms, the faucet in the other bedroom only drained extremely slow and appeared clogged. The phone system did not work so we could not call the main office for any help. When I went to the office, they just handed me a plunger and said to then leave it by the door and they will pick it up, instead of sending someone to look at it. The room was okay, but everything else was a bit of a let down
