Overall was good.
Pros:

The guy who checked us in on Friday night June 12 was amazing. Beds were nice. Room was clean and we were taken care of for the most part

Cons:

The lady who worked Saturday night was rude and unhelpful. We tried to trade in for more towels at 10:20 am and could not get anyone to come to the desk at all. So we left for our tourneys came back at 8 pm she came down but proceeded to complain that it was after hours and was super rude about us needing towels for the 2 softball players to shower.

Pros:

Close to interstate

Cons:

I had to call repeatedly to get someone to check me in. Got a lot of attitude for it. Bedding was stained, didn't feel safe, sink stopper was broken and toilet was dirty. Everything was bare minimum. Hallways were dirty. Everything was dingy and low end. I barely slept because I was scared. People kept banging on my door. Will never stay there again!!
