Staff was great at check in and check out, along with helping get out of our room when the door wouldn’t open. Should have known there was a problem when we had a hard time entering the door. Room is upgraded. Road noise as it is just a motel. Base board piece missing in bathroom. Power went out and no phones were charged over nite. No coffee machine in the room and the coffee in the lobby was horrible. Well better we didn’t drive home from a local Christmas party but otherwise probably won’t stay here again.

The room was not clean at all there was food in the room trash, beer in the fridge and the bed was not made. I have to call the front desk to come and clean the room which was ridiculous since i checked in very late so the room should have been ready

Disliked: Cleanliness
We ended up leaving in the night. The room smelled way too strong of cleaning solution. We aired it out for hours when we arrived (hard to breath) and went to our concert and when we returned it still was strong. Would suggest you not use what you’re using to clean room anymore. Noticed others opening windows and doors when they checked in and it was raining.

Staff was great and remodel was recent. Bed was too soft and pillows too hard. No coffee/hot water in the room. It was further from town than we thought. Kind of off by itself and close to the highway.

The beds were loud, kinda like sleeping on aluminum cans. Police activity was heavy. More like a motel. Seems like people lived there more than a place to stay.
