The facility worked just fine for a quick stay over the weekend. The only thing is with the rooms facing the gas stations and an intersection, i heard the gas station music all night and consistent traffic as if the window was open. If you dont plan to sleep much, it'll suffice.. the staff were very

Disliked: Amenities
We were allowed early check in, which was great because we were traveling with pets. The hotel details did not mention dogs could not be left unattended in the room, this caused us to change our dinner reservations and plans for visiting family. The room was decent, not the cleanest, but also not the worst I’ve seen. There was a strange smell when using the ac unit. I was looking forward to a hot bath after traveling all day but the shower diverter was welded or glued up leaving the only option to shower. Wallpaper in the bathroom is loose, appeared to be taped, and not very well. Lots of noise and conversations happening in the hallway all night. Didn’t feel like the safest location to park your car but no issues there.
