Not too many food choices nearby , but location is off of Interstate and it is easy to access.
Pros:

The front desk staff was excellent . They handle the unfortunate break down of the key machine very well. I think they deserve raises because they had to escort people to rooms and handle people arriving . It was crazy , I never experienced such an inconvenience, but they handled it well .

Cons:

The room seemed so old and furniture was very worn out . My room got warm at night even with the A/C on , not sure if it cuts off or not, but it was not very comfortable. The window was opened a couple times , but it was loud due to the highway and main road .

It's not bad, but lots of care and upgrade is needed to match the price..
Pros:

The hotel staff gave me the available room to accommodate my sleepy head. However, when I told the front desk staff about the cracked stove top, ripped chairs and discolored dirty floor, she quickly ejected, "oh it just the wear and tear". I'm guessing they accept it as normal, but because I was exetremly exhausted, I guess I had no choice but to accept it. Nevertheless, the bed was comfy for the rested but we checked out same day.

Cons:

Renovation/remodeling. The HIGH price for one night stay, guest should not be in a wear and tear/rundown room.
