Very friendly staff, despite the reviews I read, this place is actually cleaning up nice and you don’t see junkies and drug dealers around here no more. I think the staff is doing a helluva job compared to how it was back in the old days. Will def be coming back to see the rest of their improvements. They have free breakfast, free laundry, and a new outing up front with grills and tables to enjoy with your family. I give yall 5 stars good job economy crew.
Very quiet, rooms are nice and cozy. Will be staying here again
This place did its job. For $58 a night on a game day weekend we were pleased. It definitely isn’t the Lowe’s but it has a bed and shower and what more could you ask for? The employees were all nice and helpful and our neighbors were talkative and pleasant.
Super clean!!! Modern touches are a plus. The room was everything I thought it was gonna be and then some. Would recommend everyone stoping in and giving it a spin
Renovations are coming together and the new outdoor grills and set up that is in the making will be a nice change that this place needed.
My son has been staying at this hotel for work. It is convenient to his job location. The staff are very accommodating and pleasant. According to my son, it is a great deal for the money he spends. He states there have been many upgrades since his father stayed there.
It wasn't the best but definitely wasn't the worst for the price. No bed bugs but I did kill a few roaches. Take your own stuff to clean with and sleep on like covers and pillows if you want. I did because I didn't like the thought of sleeping on black bedding. Lots of traffic but the police also patrol the area which is calming.
I like it here I was very appreciative to have them take me in and treat me with respect the front office. Nice friendly the offer free breakfast I've only been here a few days and I really enjoy it!
