Not a great experience
Pros:

The bed is full of springs and uncomfortable and pillows flat it took all 3 to make 1 to sleep on. The shower was slimy and dirty and the water pressure really sucked. The bathroom is a little cramped and the walls had patches and imperfections all over. The a/c did not work that great. The one good thing I liked was the rocking chair outside to sit near room while smoking or drinking but highway noise kept it a little bit from being relaxing.

Front desk was closed and never could check in.
Pros:

I can’t rate the stay because nobody would ever come to the door to check me in. The reservation was made due to there being a 24 hour service desk and it was closed. I waited 20 minutes in sub freezing temps to see if anyone would come check me in. Attaching photos of closed lobby with the lights off and open sign on. The charge of $73.67 needs to be refunded.

Pros:

So the good parts included newer carpet, clean beds, easy parking and quiet area. The bad parts: beds weren't comfortable and you could feel the springs coming through and the bathroom just needed an entire gut job. The light was rusted and didnt have a cover plate, the shower curtain was molded and the worst part was the leaking ceiling that kept my friend up all night when it rained. Water was all over the bathroom when we woke up and that was obviously the reason for mold on the ceiling. For the price we paid I wasnt too upset but would def probably stay elsewhere next time.

Pros:

Room had nice new carpet and bathroom. Bed was great. Furniture was a bit worn and the room could have been painted lighter colors. For the price if you want a clean comfortable room it was great. If you want fancy you will have to pay more someplace else..

Pros:

The room was spacious. The bedding clean and soft, and the hot water came up instantly. Everything was a little shabby, but it was cheap, comfortable, and everything that needed to be clean was clean.

Property was clean and had spacious well lit parking. Room was cozy, a little out dated and the water never got “hot”, but warm enough to get in and get out. lol! Staff was extremely friendly.
