What should have been a simple overnight stay became unsettling.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Before my arrival, I received a voicemail message asking me to confirm my reservation, even though I had already confirmed my stay online. It was frustrating to have to call back and confirm a second time.

When I arrived at the hotel, there was no attendant at the front desk. After waiting, I left to look for another place to stay, but because I couldn't find another available hotel, I returned, checked in, and went directly to my room.

The room itself was clean, and the bed was comfortable. However, both the room and bathroom were noticeably dated and in need of renovation. The refrigerator was unstable, wobbled when touched, and looked as though it should have been replaced long ago.

My first night (Friday) was unpleasant. Around 9:00 p.m., I called the front desk to report loud music with heavy bass that sounded like a constant "sneaker in the dryer" thumping. I was told to call back if it continued. That response was unacceptable. I made it clear that if the noise wasn't addressed, I would contact the police. The noise stopped shortly after i received a call back from the attendant.

The second night (Saturday) was even worse. There was what sounded like either gunfire in the parking lot or someone clearing the chamber of their gun discharging multiple rounds. I stayed in my room because I didn't feel safe. Out of concern, I looked up crime information for the area and learned it has a reputation for high crime, including reports of human trafficking.

I was relieved to check out at 6:15 a.m. on Sunday. While the room was clean and the bed comfortable, the excessive noise and serious safety concerns made this one of the worst hotel experiences I've had. I will not be returning.

Good value, clean and safe. If you are in the area probably your best option.
Pros:

This is our go to hotel for our purposes since we come to this area yearly. Clean, comfortable, safe & good value. Breakfast is good with varied offerings. Try the fresh made waffles! The woman who oversees the breakfast area is very nice & helpful. She does a wonderful job of keeping the breakfast area clean & organized. She has been there for a number of years and I remember her because of her outstanding service.

I would only stay here if I was guaranteed the streaming service access it is offered and paid for
Pros:

The location was convenient as far as that it was close by to the things we were doing in the area.

Cons:

I was not able to connect to any other streaming services. The attendant was not able to connect either. She also did not seem to take note of the issue and try to provide some kind of compensation.
