Pros:

Location is great, lobby and breakfast area were very nice and welcoming

Cons:

Room is rough, furniture is well used and uncomfortable, dusty and the shower size is terrible if you're over 5'5. Jacuzzi water temp was not warm enough for it to be of benefit

Clean, efficient, well lit parking, cute lobby area!
Pros:

First impression was good, welcomed with 2 bottles of water, cute lobby, western them which I loved! Well lit parking lot,, I liked the crowd of people they attracted to the hotel, seemed like good people on a budget like us! Seemed safe there, not sure if they had security cameras in parking lot, ,but noticed they did in hall,, good job, the security to doors was good, had to have a key,, Basically it was fitting our budget, clean, safe, that's all we ask for! Breakfast was hit and miss. scrambled eggs good omlet premade not good. biscuit and sausage not good, fruits fresh,, I would stay there again!!

Pros:

Very clean, good location and very friendly staff.

Cons:

There was 10-12 kids running around the pool area being very loud & disrespecting the facilities. I had asked a few of them to calm down, but received snotty comments from the kids. This made it hard to enjoy the pool and work out room. Parents need to control their kids and teach them manners!!!

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL
Pros:

I would never come here again. I travel a lot and am not high maintenance and usually take reviews with a grain of salt. But this hotel seemed to have high ones which I’m unsure why. I used my rewards night with hotels.com, (never had a problem with this ever) came to check in where they told me the hotels card was declining and they did not have my room. I was told I needed to check with my 3rd party (after showing confirmation email). After a 14 hour drive I was not in the mood for this and went elsewhere as they were not at all accommodating. As I was checking into MyPlace (highly recommend-very hospitable and most comfortable beds) they called me to say everything was ok and I could come back(I did not, and asked them to fix this and they proceeded to yell at me).
