Affordable Stay with Room for Improvement
I found this place to be very affordable, and overall, it was a great experience. The only concern I had was a noticeable smell of cigarettes, which could be improved by implementing a no-smoking policy. Aside from that, it felt safe and welcoming. Considering the price, it was definitely a worthwhile stay!

Gross
This is absolutely NOT. Nonsmoking property. Several cigarette butt receptacles throughout the property. See photos. Rented 2 rooms for a family trip. First 2 rooms smelled like ashtrays. One was so bad we couldn’t last 5 mins in the room. Front desk said they couldn’t move us but after I told them my daughter has asthma, suddenly they could. They showed me a room on the second floor to verify that there was no smoke smell. Then gave me keys to 2 rooms. The second room smelled like BO but at least not like smoke. Carpet was very soiled and the room had not been cleaned well. Literally pubic hair on the wall. Thick black hair on the towels. When we turned on the heater the stench was terrible. They were suddenly sold out so we had to keep the room. Will never stay here again.

The staff was wonderful. The lock on my room was stuck and it was the last room available. The night manager went out of his way to help me find a room after a long day of driving. His service was the highlight. The room I needed up staying in was superficially clean, no bugs, but the maintenance and upkeep is lacking. Overall, great service, and for how much I paid, I guess I should not complain.
