The rooms were clean for the most part, although I noticed the windows needed to be cleaned. (Apparently, since the hotel accepts pets, they may leave behind traces of their activity.) The staff was efficient and helpful. This facility is in a safe area close to the interstate and other hotels. It lacks the amenities many may expect in a hotel, such as a pool and exercise room. However, if what you are looking for is a clean and comfortable place to rest for the night, and those other amenities are unimportant to you, then this facility is worth considering.
