Nothing stands out
This hotel is in a decent location but not much is going on nearby. I was put in an accessible room which I didn’t want and deliberately avoided as I don’t like to take these from individuals who need them. On top of that, I was charged more to stay in an accessible room.
The lobby is one of the more uninviting ones I’ve been to. It’s small and cramped. Same for the dining area, which felt like a dorm.

Room was comfortable and clean. Pancake maker was not working throughout our stay. Dryer went down after the first day and wasn't repaired for the rest of our stay.

Clean but small.
The hotel was clean but the pictures were a little deceptive. The reception area was small, and the I had paid for a room with a king bed and was given two queens. The room was smaller than most Holiday In Expresses that we have stated at as well. The hotel at some point was remodeled but it still had that 1970’s or 1980’s smell and vibe for a hotel. The room was clean but the bathroom floor had some sort of sticky residue. The breakfast was the best one we’ve had in a while and the staff was friendly. Parking lot is small and we drive a stock F250 and barely fit so large vehicles be advised it has 7’ and 8’ maximum heights and the parking is located under the hotel. Over all it was ok, it was a decent price for the area but I probably won’t stay here again.

Hard to find
Nice breakfast, decent room. But almost impossible to find! I drove past it several times because it looks like a garage not a hotel.

Great place!
The night desk clerk wasn't super friendly, but the clerk in AM was great. Room was very clean and stocked with refrigerator, microwave, hairdryer, etc. The best of all were the full-sized shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, handwash, and body lotion dispenser...Dove products.

Great Place to Stay!!!
Nice bang for the buck. We thought the hotel was nicely kept and decorated. Very clean. Had everything you needed and things you didn’t know you needed but liked having. (Night light in bathroom, reading lights on both sides of the bed). Shout out to the Front desk guy who was very nice and accommodating
