My stay and room were fine for me. My companion would say her room was substandard
Pros:

Breakfast was acceptable and convenient to my rooms.

Cons:

My companions room was not cleaned well. She had noticed cobwebs at the curtains and bugs. One bug crawled across her chest while in bed. The other was a large spider that ran across her bare foot in the bathroom.

Other than the musty smell and maybe floors could have been a bit cleaner or could be that the product they are using
Pros:

Great location. Staff was amazing with us. We can off the highway late and needed somewhere quiet to get a few hours of sleep. She moved us just because initially when going into our room I could hear the dog barking next to us. Great staff about changing our room.

Cons:

Could have been a bit cleaner. And room was very musty smelling upon arrival.

Less that expected for the cost
Pros:

Check in was not smooth since we wanted to pay with a different card that the room was reserved with. Ended up having to pay cash and even that was a struggle. Room still wasn’t ready for us at 4pm and the maintenance guy brought sheets and towels and ended up making the bed for us. Pretty cool guy. I never did see a maid, although my partner spoke to her once.

Do not stay here
Pros:

Place is extremely run down. Dirty, old, dark, dingy. Floors were dirty. Refrigerator was filthy. No outside doors locked. Anyone could walk in. Our room door was so warped you had to throw your body at it to open and close it. Walls were dirty. Anything metal was rusted. AC barely worked. No way was i going to eat there. Sheets were never changed in 3 nights, bed never made. My pillow was abot 8 inches tall and 8 inches wide. Hole in a wall. Just totally dusgusting!!!!!!!
