Clean room, nice staff, unsafe location. Wandering homeless- are they living there? Sketchy neighborhood. Will not be back.

Pros (+) Staff was friendly.
Cons (-) Rooms were dirty and smelled of cigarette smoke. The ceiling in the bathroom was moldy and the shower needed repairs. There were stains on the carpet and not enough lighting in the rooms.
Pros (+) Everything well exceeded my expectations.
Cons (-) Nothing
Pros (+) This is a large, older facility but the rooms have all been refurbished. It is an old-style, outside entrance motel but is generally well maintained and has a cafe on-site, which is convenient. This is a budget hotel and as such it is nicer than most.
Cons (-) My room had not been vacuumed very well as I found numerous pieces of dog food on the floor. Otherwise the room was clean.
Pros (+) Location / Price
Cons (-) N A
Pros (+) The room was newly remodeled. It was very clean. The front office staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Cedric the assistant manager was great. We had a rough day before arriving & he managed to give us a few laughs & great customer service.
Cons (-) Staff was very rude, the smoking regulations were ridiculous
Pros (+) Staff was very helpful and friendly
Cons (-) Right on hwy....too much noise from traffic. Beds were not comfortable.
Pros (+) The staff was exceptional friendly and helpful!
Cons (-) We came on Sunday so the hotel restaurant was closed, there were no close restaurants, and 3/4 delivery menus we were given were invalid! :(
Pros (+) Room was small but clean. Staff was incredibly friendly. Just off interstate.
Cons (-) No restaurants nearby other than burger king.
