Pros:

Pool was open until 11. This was good. I came for a quick stay. As a trucker with my kiddos they needed time out the truck. Dropped my trailer at the flying j. Bobtailed here parked right in front. Kids went to the pool walked to Walmart across the street. Walked to chili's to eat. Came back relaxed and slept pretty comfortable. Next day was great for the kiddos.

Cons:

Nothing. Booked same day parked in front. All was good

Stingy with the air conditioning
Pros:

Hotel has motion activated thermostats which will not cool the room while you are out and it also has issues when you are sleeping and the room gets very warm. I kept waking up sweating because the thermostat kept going back to the default temp of 73. I also couldn’t get the fan to run constantly

It’s definitely a safety concern to stay here…
Pros:

It was in a good location

Cons:

It smelled like mildew or mold. The bathroom had black mold in the corners of the shower. Wallpaper was shedding. The carpets in the room felt like they have never been cleaned. It was very sticky.

Good location great staff
Pros:

The rooms were all damp and the ac units had mold on them. I doubt I’ll stay here again for that reason alone. Breakfast and coffee were a godsend as was the location. The staff was kind especially the breakfast lady.

A decent hotel, but we would not stay there again.
Pros:

The breakfast was decent.

Cons:

There was a musty smell I throughout the hotel. It felt dated and was decent at best. The bedsheets didn’t feel or smell clean.

Good value and clean.
Pros:

Small hotel and easy to get around. Quick elevators. Beds were comfortable. Even being so close to the highway our room was quiet.

Cons:

Our room had a little bit of a musty smell. Bathroom did not have a vent which would probably help with that issue.
