Nothing spectacular, average room with a bed, did not see any roaches. Stayed in room and left. AC and TV worked. No problem at 4pm check in. Lobby was kinda warm and dated. $60 deposit which was refunded back on credit card in a couple days.

Poor service. No one frequently at front desk and phone not answered promptly. Free breakfast is a joke
The only hot food is the waffle you make yourself. The hotel needs serious renovation. Major potholes in parking lot.
Positive many restaurants within 5 minutes.
