Staff gave us the farthest room away from lobby he possibly could ( not that we WANTED that) and the room stunk, stale air. Beds were not comfortable at all. Could really use some updated mattresses. Room was clean. Area felt a tad sketchy, not much around it and it was dark when arrived. Literally wanted a place to pull in and sleep before getting back on road."
