Friendly staff, easy check-in and check-out. An older building but nice updated shower. Breakfast was OK, pretty basic items. Immediate local area around hotel was not the most comfortable but there were standard fast food places close.

The hotel is run fairly well and pretty clean. Staff was okay on check in. Location is not optimal, unless you are headed to the mall. But, plenty of restaurants and fast food nearby. Overall, pretty average hotel.

Check in there was no one at desk. Sign indicated to dial 0 which I did. Unfortunately the portable phone which I presume is what the absent person should have been carrying, was ringing where I was standing. I tried 4 times. Finally after six minutes she appeared with only her personal phone in her hand. She never acknowledged or apologized. On checkout next morning, Zach at front desk was extremely friendly and accommodating. I got 15 minutes on road and realized I left my wallet in breakfast area. I called and Zach put me on brief hold and returned to say he found it I went back for it and appreciated his quick response
