Hotel was being remodeled during our stay. We stayed in one of the newly remolded rooms. Checked in late at night and left in the morning, was perfect for a one night stay. Great breakfast.

The facility was going through a remodeling. So a lot of dust in entryway. I found the staff competent and friendly. For weary travelers, the room was comfortable and rested well each night. The room was clean and the restroom newly remodeled. Conveniently located near restaurants and Wally World was close.

We were there while the lobby was being renovated. I assume the rooms will follow, and that's good, because the one we were in was dated, and the bathroom desperately needs a remodel from the studs out. But the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the hotel was quiet. That's all we needed. The gentleman who checked us in was awesome.

The hotel is under construction but the floor I was staying on was not. It was dirty and smelled of marijuana. Garbage in the hall and carpets throughout were dirty. Staff was nice. Bed was comfortable even though the room was old and needs updating. The breakfast was standard fare, nothing to get excited about. I would say pass on this hotel.

There were not many eggs/meat to eat. No oatmeal or fresh fruit.
The elevator would not have passed inspection (especially in our home state)!
The bathroom faucets needed maintenance.
The bed was comfortable and we slept well.
