Not the worst but lots of other options nearby.
Pros:

Breakfast was decent and staff were friendly enough. There is plenty of parking space in the lot and several restaurants in walking distance. The room was a decent size.

Cons:

The room and hallways were not the cleanest. The coffee pot in our room still had coffee in it and the floors appeared unswept. Outlets weren’t in places that were easily accessible.

Pros:

Good location, convenient for road trip.
Room is very clean, though it is aged

Cons:

The front desk is not very nice, looks unhappy and annoyed.
There were party ppl making noise for the whole night, but the hotel did nothing to control the situation.

I never write reviews so if I’m writing this, PLEASE don’t stay here!
Cons:

Not even sure where to start. I will be posting my review where it will be seen publicly in many places. With pictures. Dirty, tub backing up (as usual, you’d think I’d learn but I keep giving them chances!), mold on shower curtain, plugs didn’t work (my charger etc fell right out of them? They were loose. And broken. Multiple outlets!) They didn’t unclog my tub when my daughter and I got back to our room after a long day and they told me maintenance left and I’d have to switch rooms. Or the “general manager” said I could get $20 off. Or I could check out and they wouldn’t charge me for the night. $20 off for a backed up tub, mold, unusable outlets, water stains on the ceiling, cracked tiles etc?! Insane!! Oh, and I’ve stayed here probably 4 times. The tub backs up EVERY time. Why do I come back? Who knows, guess I’m hoping they fix it. Every time you tell them it’s backed up they pretend like it’s the first time they’ve heard that. Haha. Do NOT stay here. Oh, and while I was complaining, someone literally went into the room and changed the shower curtain. Notice the curtain in the first backed up tub picture, and miraculously 15 minutes later a fresh new curtain in the next backed up tub picture! Weird!!

Pros:

It was in a good location

Cons:

I reserved 2 non smoking rooms and one of my rooms smelled like smoke so bad. The other room had food on the floor from the previous guest so house keeping isn’t doing a good job

Stay 3/13/26-3/15/26
Pros:

The front desk staff was amazing she was so nice and was working so hard and very busy and still had a smile.
Breakfast was good and the staff lady that was taking care of it was very nice and kept up on keeping it clean.

Cons:

Lounge:
got food from the lounge on 3/13/26 and the bartender was very slow,had an attitude. The cook was very unprofessional he came out of the back at 10:15pm and said he was going to take a break he had orders and they close at 11pm Our food was not that good the pizza sub looked terrible with chips thrown all over her it, my chicken quesadilla had pieces of sausage in it and could have been cooked a little longer, Our pizza was supposed to be supreme and was missing stuff and the onions and peppers were like in middle.
Room
The beds were very small
The bathroom was nasty it looked like there was blood on the shower curtain and the part under the sink.
Lobby
it sucks that the pool and pool tables and arcade closed at 10 it would be nice to have more adult time.
