Some renovations done, rooms are decent sized. Good enough for a nights stay at a decent price.

Great low cost option.
No frills, easily accessible budget option. Friendly, helpful staff. Tiny bathroom. Clean and comfortable bed. Construction wasn’t bothersome. Will stay here again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Quick off highway location on a hill with excellent home style restaurant across the parking lot. Big room , but no light over vanity sink and a screen that rattled during much of the fiercely windy night kept me awake. Great bed tho, and staff was helpful elsewise.
Limited Continental Breakfast
Floor and Walls were dirty in the room.
Refrigerator Freezer was dirty and needed to be defrosted.
Staff was helpful and courteousness
The GOOD: Ease of check-in, friendliness of staff, air conditioner worked well, and had fridge.
The BAD: Filthy room, stained carpet and bed, torn ceiling and broken floor in bathroom, hair in bathroom and tub, uncomfortable bed and terrible pillows, bad tv remote control, some lights didn’t work, shade was torn. Pool was closed as well
It was a one night place. Got ok enough price but would rather sleep in vehicle next time than stay here
Rooms were just average clean. Shower only hot water that would scald you, so couldn't take a shower. When I reported to the front desk it was like oh well, we are working on that. If shower not working properly don't rent the room. Breakfast was not impressive at all, coffee so strong it was undrinkable. Won't we going back there. The price of the room as good.

The room was clean and comfortable. When it comes to the bathroom. It was disgusting. Hair all over the tub. Clumps of hair on the shower shelf with half used bottles of shampoo and conditioner.
I booked this for a friend and he said the guy at the desk was nice and the room was newly renovated. He said he was comfortable and slept well. Good room for the money.
Room was ok hall looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a week. Went down for breakfast at 8am there was nothing there. Not even sugar for coffee. They shouldn’t advertise free breakfast if they have nothing. Cheap in more ways than one
I could not give an excellent rating due to dark entrance, not welcoming at sll. The staff was super accomodating and our room was completly remodeled and in excellant condition. Rooms are small but decorated nicely with new furniture.
