conveniently located near gas stations and eateries just a quick drive to downtown area about 10 min. or so. Carpet areas in the hallways could stand good shampooing or replacement Not sure what was going on with the breakfast area it was cordoned off and the area to get ice is on the first floor only. Looks a little more run down than what picture shows on the outside
When we first got there my son and i sat out in parking lot to wait for my daughter and we seen 4 drug deals go down and the rooms smelled so bad to much to put down but i would like the number to corporate
It was a horrible experience the rooms smelled so bad the breakfast they had if u call that breakfast was not good made me really sick and it was the same thing all 3 days the staff at night would let her boyfriend and friends in to stay in a room with our paying and they staff at night was no were to be found i tries for 3 hours i asked for corporates number they gave me some other number there were people smoking cigarettes in their rooms and smoking weed so bad it came into my room and my daughter's room it was bad
We got in really late, after midnight, and the employee at the front desk greeted us had a smile and was positive. The staff was great and the room was what we expected. Breakfast had a good selection. The area around the hotel didn’t feel safe and there were numerous people outside of the hotel in the middle of the night.
