Nice staff, good location, easy check in, and comfortable beds.
There's a lot of traffic noise from the nearby road so bring ear protection if you're sensitive to that.

Room clean, staff pleasant, wish they offered more toiletries even if they were upon request or at a small fee. Makes it convenient when you forget something which we always seem to do. There's places to eat , gas, convenient stores all close by. Not fancy but you're not paying $200-400 per night.

While the staff were all amazing but the property itself is extremely run down and our room was not well cleaned. The floors were filthy and there were shoe prints on the bathroom wall. The room had damage and was run down. Electrical covers were missing, the smoke detectors were on a shelf under the TV, the door looked like it had been kicked in at some point, the battery cover on the TV was missing and, strangely, the bedside lamps and outlets did not work unless the overhead light was on. We had to charge our phones in the bathroom. The location is not great. The area did not feel safe and the highway is right outside. We did not sleep well due to the noise.

I had no problem at all with my stay. The neighborhood isn't very 'touristy' but for the price it was convenient. It's still being remodeled so there's workers around.

The room we requested was a smoke free room. The room had a tobacco smell. When we arrived they had a air clarification machine to clean the air. But people smoking in the adjoining room were heavy smokers and it made it way into our room. That's not a smoke free room.

I can’t believe that Expedia would send me to this dump in a sketchy part of town.
