The reviews were a bit scary, so I was hesitant when we checked in. It wasn't bad at all! The Pros: The room was clean, roomy and the bed was very comfortable. The pillows are nice and fluffy, and they give you four. The bathroom was clean, the fridge and microwave worked. The Cons: The TV was spotty. Not very many channels and the reception was wonky on some. There was no hot water the night we stayed there. It got pretty warm, fine for hand washing, but not hot. It didn't seem like a bad area to me. I was expecting pimps and hookers to be walking around, but I didn't see anything shady. The hotel was quiet and I got a good night's sleep, that's the important thing. We only needed a place to stay for one night, so we didn't bother with amenities such as the pool or gym. One thing that sucked was that the hallways smelled like stale cigarette and marijuana smoke. Strange, considering every room was a non-smoking room. Luckily, the smell didn't seep into the room.

Person at the front desk the night of check in was extremely rude, arrogant and completely unhelpful. Worst customer service I've experienced at motel/hotel before. The main lobby bathrooms had trash all over the place, nothing was clean, it smelled horrible and looked extremely sketchy. Hallways and carpets had a weird smell of stale cigarettes and all kinds of unpleasant aromas besides that. It looked outdated and dirty. The room itself didn't smell or look clean. There were weird stains on the TV table and side tables, there were stains and discoloration on the carpet and the heater in the room didn't work. Bathroom didn't appear clean and tiles were cracked and the ceiling had chipped paint. Disgusting place, rude service and not even worth the $60 we paid for the night. I'd sleep in a car over this place. AVOID.

I came in with low expectations, but was more than surprised. It was easy to find. I liked how they had security/police there it's kind of a rougher neighborhood. The front desk staff was very pleasant. My favorite amenity was the beautiful pool. The staff that works it was so nice and great with the kids . I would definitely stay again for the price it's really a steal. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

I have been here twice on business for state track and field and it has been a nice place for me to stay two of the last three years. The staff is nice and accommodating, the location is great with gas stations and restaurants all around (including a Pizza Hut right next door). The rooms have always been clean for me, the TV is fine and the AC is wonderful during the warmer season. It works well and it's quiet. I don't have a problem with the breakfast. The room is spacious and the food is fine. Could probably use a little more variety of food other than waffles, a banana, toast and cereal. Really, the only issue I had this year were my key cards. On two separate days they didn't work, but as soon as I went to the front desk, they got them working again, just a minor annoyance. Towels were also a little small in the bathroom. I like the water-saving toilets they have, but I was always afraid that it wouldn't flush all of the way.
