Location

Consistently praised for proximity to the airport and being right off the interstate — noted repeatedly as the main positive aspect.

Amenities
4.5
Advertised amenities under-delivered: shuttle service unavailable early, missing bedding/blankets/pillows at times, no iron, occasional lack of toiletries, burned-out bulbs and faulty outlets.
Value for Money
9
Several reviewers noted the hotel as a budget option with acceptable pricing for a short airport stay; some commented expectations aligned with the low price.
Food and Beverage
4
Breakfast was frequently reported as missing or unavailable; no substantial food/beverage offerings noted in reviews.

Overall a mixed-to-negative experience: significant cleanliness, room and service issues weighed heavily, but strong location and low price salvage the stay for short airport-related visits.

Pros:

It was Ruined by the workers My sis was getting Sexual Assault threats towards her by one of the Hotel employees. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND will never stay there ever again.

Cons:

She said that one of the workers told her she had 20 minutes to get her belongings and leave or he was gonna drag her out of the room and Rape her. THIS MADE ME EXTREMELY UPSET AND I HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT HAPPENED BC I LEFT A DAY EARLY BEFORE SHE DID AND SHE CALLED ME CRYING. AND EVEN THEN SHE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HER OTHER BROTHER WHILE THAT MAN HAD SAID THAT TO HER.

Pros:

Location, price, cleanliness were acceptable.

Cons:

Room came with pull-out sofa bed and king bed. However, there was no bedding for the sofa bed except for a sheet. About 9pm, went to front desk and asked for an extra blanket and pillow, the desk said no, they couldn't do that at this time. I asked again and they confirmed. I was expecting a strictly functional hotel and was still disappointed.

Not satisfied
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The reason I wouldn’t recommend this hotel is because, honestly, I found it to be not very clean. The beds were uncomfortable, and you could tell that the mattresses were older than the hotel itself. The refrigerator was broken, and the handle actually cut my finger.

Luckily, we were only staying for one night, but it’s not a pleasant or welcoming place. If you just need somewhere to stay overnight before heading to the airport, then I guess it works for that purpose. But honestly, I didn’t like it and I wouldn’t stay here again.

The bathroom was not clean at all, and overall, the hotel just didn’t feel comfortable or inviting. I wouldn’t recommend it. That being said, considering the price, I guess I shouldn’t have expected something much better.

Very Very budget, not helpful shuttle, would not recommend.
Pros:

The Front Staff young girl was friendly, but not really knowledgable or able to help much. She tried very hard thought.

Cons:

They advertise FREE AIRPORT SHUTTLE - and STAY, PARK, FLY - so we booked. Paying a little more is ok, but it's a lot and was unorganized. Oh well - free shuttle - except we needed to be to the airport by 5:30am - and their shuttle doens't even begin until NOON. It cost us $25 to get an UBER.

Avoid this facility
Pros:

Very little.
too bad you only allowed for 4 photos

Ground floor rooms had no screens on the windows and the windows would not lock. Mold on the bathroom ceilings, unknown debris on the walls, sticky substance on bathroom counter, unpleasant odor, cigarette holes burned into the bedspreads, electrical outlets would not hold any electronic devices, one room had no shampoo or soap, burned out lightbulbs, tattered lamp with low wattage bulbs, unable to reach anyone at the front desk. Front door lock held with tattered blue painters, tape.
