very clean but not very many amenities. No kleenexes no paper or plastic cups and only one bath towel and one hand towel. No front desk open in the evening so we weren't able to request more towels. Clean and reasonably priced though. It had Roku and antennaTV but no cable

The room had an ironing board but no iron*? There was a smell of mildew when I walked in the room. There was no coffee maker, microwave, or refrigerator available. The pillows were hard and uncomfortable. I was too tired after driving 6 plus hours to look for something else.
