"I was there for a conference. The room was clean, and the staff was very friendly. I didn't get a chance to eat breakfast, so I can't comment on that. No issues with parking. The only issue was that I wasn't told there would be a $100 hold on the credit card. Overall, everything was great. I would recommend this hotel."

"Yes "

"A fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. I woke disoriented, called the front desk, no answer, walked out to hallway where a few other guests gathered, afraid to take stairwell down to lobby from 4th floor, eventually took elevator and when I arrived to lobby firemen were roaming around, reported 'all clear' so we returned to our rooms. No word at checkout from hotel staff (apology, inconvience, how was stay?) I don't think I will stay beyond 1st floor at any roadside travel hotel. The hotel was clean but noisy."

"Great "

"Overall it was a good place to stay "

"Nice place to stay. It’s an older hotel, but it’s clean and safe. Staff was super friendly. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good. Would stay there again."

"Good things first: HOLY water pressure! The water pressure is AMAZING for the shower. The location is awesome—close to a lot of things and easy access to highways. Having said that, I’m unsure how this property is rated as high as it is. Room smelled strongly of mold and used oil. It hits you like a wall the moment you walk in. Had exactly one standard sized towel person, and when requested the front desk attendant for one more, she first asked if I had extra people in my room. When I said no, she insisted I bring her the used towel to get a new one. Bring the front desk a used towel from the building across the yard that the rooms are in to get an extra bath towel. Yes. There were used loofas in the bathroom. Furniture was old and chipped. Curtains would not close all the way. No soap to use at the sink. Makeup remover things had brown sticky stains on them. The courtyard had more than one person openly smoking weed sitting right next to the walkway. Night time and day time. You had to walk through the smoke to get to the building. Picnic tables were trashed with empty soda bottles and chips bags. Carpets everywhere, especially the stairwell, had stains all over. Breakfast left much to be desired. I would say “you get what you pay for,” and I’m a fairly frugal traveler, but this place wasn’t cheap enough for what it offers. Tragic situation in there. Don’t stay at this place."

"We always stay at higher end hotels, but found ourselves unable to find a room due to move out/graduation at the university. We were really nervous about staying here, but were so pleasantly surprised. It was honestly cleaner than a lot of the more expensive hotels! We didn’t even find a stray hair in the bathroom. It had several in room amenities. We were also nervous leaving our fully packed car overnight, but the parking lot was well lit and we had no trouble with anyone trying to break in. I have heard horror stories of cars being robbed in hotel parking lots during college move in/out. The area seemed nice as well. We would definitely stay again."

"Breakfast was great."
