The room was very clean and felt new. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. My only criticism is that the parking lot concrete is old and needs some work. The breakfast was good, with a good amount of choices. Would definitely put this on a list of good hotels to go to

The room was clean but the parking lot was an absolute mess! Construction debris was all over the place and made the place look very sketchy. The hotel is also right next to a train yard and you heard the trains all night long. Room walls are also very thin which resulted in hearing lots of different noises throughout the night.

Was a decent hotel room inside , could be cleaner though. The outside of the hotel seemed very sketchy. I would recommend double checking the outside area of this hotel before booking. Breakfast was good and the staff was nice. The first guy I encountered seemed to be annoyed, the room I booked on here reflected a different room on his end and he wasn’t very helpful in getting the issue fixed. I was a little nervous to have my car outside of this place but ultimately did not have any issues.
