Not worth $90/night but only option in the area.
Pros:

Location was good for our destination. Staff was pleasant. Good parking. Close to everything.

Cons:

The room was dirty. Toilet had fecal remnants in it and pubic hairs and other soil around it. The shower curtain rod was broken and hanging off the wall and didn't allow for the curtain to close. The back door security wires had been disconnected and so the door was open and accessible at all times (did not lock or even close). Breakfast consisted of 2 cereal options which were stale, yogurt and white bread. Bed was comfie enough, but there were hairs wrapped around the blankets, which were stained, as were all bedclothes.

Cons:

Price was a bit steep for what it is. And I had a hard time getting a room and couldn't check in early even when it said rooms open and I booked online. They did accommodate me when I wanted another night tho. That was nice

Loud, smells, and old.
Pros:

Wasn't breakfast, milk, orange juice, and one cereal was all that was offered. I was looking early. Maybe that was the problem. Don't know.

Cons:

Carpets dirty, smelled from someone cooking. Would prefer a quieter hotel. Lots of people around. Camper in back using electric from hotel. That's their choice doesn't bother me. What did was that outside door wouldn't lock behind you. Electric cord blocking closure of door.

Pros:

Biggest complaint was they didn't clean the toilet from the last occupant. The room itself was clean, but the carpet was very old and the room smelled damp. The building and windows are in disrepair. The person that runs it qas extremely nice. Extremely close to a Walmart and a 24 hour Casey's.
