Served it purpose for a drive through one night stay.
Pros:

Easy access from highway

Cons:

Man door safety latch inoperative. While the property includes breakfast. The fruit basket only had two old shrinking apples. The ‘hot’ breakfast tasted like it yesterday’s leftovers barely warm and dried out.

They were quick to change our room once we requested the switch due to being not thrilled with the first one
Pros:

Close to where we needed to be for a tournament.

Cons:

First room was not great as it had a smell, the door didn't properly lock as well as joining room door was left unlocked prior to arrival.

Pretty decent value when what you need is a place to sleep and a decent breakfast
Pros:

It was surprisingly a very good value with a full breakfast with eggs, sausages and potatoes plus choices of bread and the rooms were comfortable enough, especially since if all you need is a place to sleep. There's an interesting mix of gas ranging from journeyman and contractors to people actually living there. But still a fairly interesting place.

Cons:

Bit it's a bit dated but for the price and the fact that it's clean, it's actually not bad at all. Honestly, given that it is an Econo Lodge and not something higher up the choice Hotel brand, it's much better than what you would pay for normally.

The amount I paid it was worth the stay. It was clean and quiet. Manager Bob was awesome.
Pros:

You got what you paid for. Good size room, with comfy bed. Couldn't ask for more.

Cons:

Workout room lacked, but it wouldn't deter me from staying there again.

Pros:

I didn’t eat breakfast, because it shuts down at 10 AM and I prefer to sleep later in the morning.

The LG TV in the room had a fantastic picture

Cons:

The refrigerator in the room was so noisy. It kept cutting in and out all night long and kept me awake.

I had to pay an additional pet fee which came to slightly over $16. That was not on the booking form when I booked online.

Hidden Gem with amazing value.
Pros:

Though in an older looking part of town, the room was fresh with new paint and carpet. Beds were very comfortable and room was very large, excellent for me and three kids. Place was kept clean and staff were all very friendly. Older building but lots of renos. Kids and I had an amazing weekend.

Cons:

Pool area could use a face-lift but I'm just being picky. We liked it.

Pros:

This was exactly what I was expecting it to be. The hotel is a little older but it was clean and all staff we interacted with were very nice. It was a great value for where we stayed. We will definitely be back next time we visit.

Terrible and would not recommend
Pros:

Nothing it was not clean and smelted very bad.

Cons:

It smelled bad. Wasn’t clean. Dried blood in the first room with a smell that was unbearable. Second room not just as bad but not much better. Tv did not work also. They came looked at the tv to fixed it. The girl left to get a new remote and never returned.
