Very pleasant, decently priced.
Pros:

The room seemed to be updated, beds were comfortable, just wish there was a blanket, but I also run a little cold. Bathroom was decent size, and enough towels and was cloths. The shampoo/conditioner was a little rough for my long curly hair, so I did go to Target to buy some travel size ones. Very nice little hotel, would stay again.

Cons:

A couple guests were rude, I was called a B!tch by another guest leaving the property because while turning into the driveway, I was unable to continue and had to wait for them to move, due to them blocking the entire entrance with their vehicle. I was called the curse word because that guest couldn't see. Literally nothing else eas wrong, just this particular guest was aggressive.

Cons:

The door gets stuck every time to open and you had to yank it open. The television was not working with the remote so the guy had to reprogram the remote to the tv. There were markings on the floor and the room was muggy.

Pros:

The staff was really nice and helpful... I'd stay there while there was some remodeling being done on my house and ended up accidentally forgetting one of my bags when I checked out. When Id returned 2 days later after suddenly realizing I didn't have it and began to panic, since it contained some incredibly important items, I was so incredibly grateful that they still had it there, stored in the back. They could have just thrown my things out but they didn't...

Cons:

The area is a little rough but there's a lot of conveniences about the location as well.
