Staff very friendly at check-in/out. No elevator. Parking lot was under construction so parking was limited. Quick fast food options nearby. Free breakfast had a small variety of items, but hard to tell if they accommodated dietary restrictions.

The hotel was close to the freeway, a gas station and a couple of fast food places. It also looked like Walmart was down the street a few blocks.

Ok place to stay.

Do not go to this hotel if you cannot do steps. No elevator, so you might be dragging suitcases either down one flight, or up one-two flights. Beds and pillows must be new as hard, which some like. Looks like nice work-out room, nice breakfast spread, Christine at front desk nice.

Check in was great, staff was super friendly. Came back after our 4th celebration and our tv wasnt working. Tried calling the front desk to have it fixed and the lady(different gal then at cueck in) proceeded to argue with me telling me to do all the things i told her many times we had already tried, she wouldn't listen and refused to come fix it until i finally got fed up and asked for her name and advised her i would just talk with management instead. We were just trying to unwind for the night with a little tv. I had 3 teens with me course they wanted to watch some tv. The toilet in the room was just nasty, the fridge wouldn't shut unless u pulled up on it since they had it sitting in a tray with a lip on it. The breakfast wasnt a buffet just a couple crockpots with sausage links and scrambled eggs that all were from a microwave and then just cereal and toast. I mean its a small hotel so i guess a small breakfast its unusual. Beds were decently comfy and the room has a stove top and kitchenette area which would be great for extended stays. Would stay here again if had to but wouldn't want to deal with the lady from the night shift ever again.

The hotel and staff I dealt with were kind and friendly during our stay. However, I left a pair of shoes in our room that have custom insoles. When I spoke to the front desk they couldn’t find them. I’m very disappointed that whoever cleaned the room didn’t turn them in. I realize I am at fault for leaving them but just wish people were honest and would do the right thing. Be aware. I also contacted the manager via email but got no response!

Affordable stay, great staff, and pretty clean property! Personally my sink could have used a little more cleaning and there’s some minor details that could be fixed. But other than that very good!

Pretty good!

Very friendly staff. Parking lot was in the middle of being resurfaced so parking was a bit inconvenient. Room was clean, all amenities worked. Although, the walls are a bit thin. Thin enough that I could hear someone snoring in the next room. One thing I’m curious about is the pricing. I decided to extend my stay for another night, and it was only $78. My first two nights cost $237 through hotels.com, so why such a big price difference?
