Don’t waste your money
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I booked my room for two queens through booking.com 3 months in advance and they didn’t have that available so stuck me in a one king bed with three people. The hotel told me it was booking.com who sent the order an error and booking.com said it was the hotel and that someone from the hotel would call or email me to make a resolution either comp my night stay or credit me. Nobody has contacted me. The key cards kept not working so you had to take them to the front desk to get reprogrammed. The hallways smelled disgusting. The white bedding was covered in stains. The floor towels smell like feet even after being cleaned. We didn’t stay for breakfast and the coffee was crap.

Would not recommend this hotel
Pros:

The Mexican restaurant next door was excellent and it was close to the interstate.

Cons:

The first room had water on the floor and smelled liked cat pee. The second room was smelled very musty and needs to be remolded. The breakfast was non existent. Stale bagels. Stale cereal and no milk. It was terrible. Would not recommend this hotel.

Hidden Gem
Pros:

Very professional and friendly staff. Easy on/off access from/to highway. New carpeting throughout the property. Very good breakfast. Stored my freezer packs for me. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

No elevator. We carried our luggage to second floor. However, had we asked I'm sure someone on the staff would have carried our luggage to our room for us.

Slapen en door reizen. Nooit weer.
Pros:

Eigenlijk niks.

Cons:

Eigenlijk alles. Kamer stonk naar een combinatie van rook en riool. En dat in een rookvrije kamer. Er werd tot diep in de nacht geklust in het hotel. De bouwvakkers waren ook nog eens erg luidruchtig tot een uur of 2 in de nacht tijdens hun werkzaamheden in de hal bij de kamers. De locatie is echt sketchy. Personeel was op zich wel redelijk aardig.
