Convenient to highway.
Karen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is fine for a quick overnight for the budget minded traveler. Overall the property seemed quite run-down particularly the outside. The room seemed clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was very minimal with very few items. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Timothy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Dated but sufficient.
Exterior of hotel was in very poor condition. No security on exterior doors with locks removed or taped over. Interior appeared very clean but dated. Staff was very friendly and welcoming!

It was a really nice hotel.
Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Older buildings with lots of wear and tear. The internet wasn’t working the night I stayed. The price though was significantly lower than other places in the area
STEPHEN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel
It’s an older building but it was clean. Hallway and outside area was well lit. Desk clerk was efficient and helpful. The free breakfast was good and gave us a good start to the day as we continued with our travels. Breakfast area was well stocked and clean.

Very good experience. The stuff are very warm-hearted. The beds are comfortable. The space is big. There is a Walmart nearby. The breakfast is very delicious. My family are all satisfied.

Nothing outstanding.
Oleksandr, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff was friendly when we checked in. The toilet tank flush buttons were not working properly. The bath tub drain was clogged and water was sitting in the tub after a shower for long time. I pointed out the issue at our checkout to the front desk staff.
Yoko, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Typical econo lodge nothing fancy but bed was comfortable quite area
Joe, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

You get what you pay for
The wifi did not work the entire time. Dated and in poor condition. No badge entry on exterior doors so anyone can walk in. Entryway had a pervasive odor. Stayed two nights and did not have hot water one morning. No visible bed bugs and the sheets seemed clean.
Molly, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Quality fit the price. Worked in a emergency situation.
Marc, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

They did not receive our reservation before they gave it away. The room was very poor quality: old bed, furniture, smelled poorly. The staff person was not trained and was doing her best given the situation.
Cynthia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Grossest place I have seen! Bugs, dirty, tv and outlets didn’t work
Cole, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Dirty, unsafe doors open from outside in with no security codes or anything. Water issues extreme laundry hot or extremely cold.
Kathleen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was adequate for our needs, especially the parking as we were in a truck with a 16' trailer.
Margaret, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stay elsewhere!
There was a Hole the wall & a large chunk of paint pealing off the. The roof was leaking in the hallway. A Continental breakfast is not dried out bread or english muffins for you to toast or dry cereal in my opinion.
Sara, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Building falling apart
Madonna, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The doors were broken didn’t shut properly, the ceiling was falling in the room . No one at the front desk to check in had to call her twice . Hookers in the hallway!
