Positive experience
Our stay was good. The rooms was clean, and the front desk was polite and friendly. There wasn’t a whole lot of extras but I have no complaints, the price made up for any missing amenities.

Old But Clean
For the age of the place, it is very clean. The door to the water closet wouldn't close without lifting the door. The service and employees were excellent. A lot of the people that stay there are road workers and construction workers. I really doubt that I would be staying here again.

Got we expected, which was good
Basic, clean hotel… used the fitness center for some weights and cardio… quiet place, easy parking… the grab and go breakfast wasn’t much, so I wouldn’t count on that alone. Next door there’s a Denny’s that had a kids eat free promotion from 4-10pm which we didn’t take advantage of, but would be a good option for families with young children. In all, a good experience for the price.
