The pool was closed for “repairs” but it was full and there was tons of sand and algae growing in it. It was unsightly. The room was clean, ac worked great and breakfast was plentiful. Staff very friendly. Good location to shopping, highway and university. Entrance is obscured by an abandoned restaurant though

Liked being able to park in front of the room (it was a motel, not hotel). We had a cooler and luggage to haul in. Even though it was right next to the highway, it was very quiet. Bed was comfy and breakfast was good, sausage and eggs with all the other options…cereal, bagels, etc. There was a lot for RV’s and trucks, as well

We enjoyed our stay! The staff was friendly, the property was clean and it was very close to interstate. We felt safe at the property. Our room was very clean and decorated nicely. The bedding and pillows were very cozy. Checkout was very easy. We will definitely make this our new place to stay when we are in town!

Great overnight stay. So many surprises! We traveled towing a boat, tons of parking to accommodate us. Cameras around so we felt very safe. Madi at the front desk greeted us with her beautiful smile and helpful attitude. The lobby, the room, were cleaned and smelled heavenly. Love their scent. Linda in the break room cooked a perfect breakfast and was so friendly. If we cube this way again, we will choose here.

Outside of hotel is nothing special, but room was nice enough and not too far from campus. It’s also nice to have a complementary breakfast, they don’t have everything you might want or expect from a higher end chain (I didn’t see yogurt or fruit), but it’s nice to have something available, including coffee.

Don’t stay here with spouse or kids. If you’re looking for a cheap option for travel by yourself, it will suffice, but it was sketchy the first night we checked in. There were drunk, shirtless people everywhere and definitely participating in drug use. We were scared to walk from our car to the room (which has an exterior entry, this is a motel). I imagine this is the place in town to bring hookers. The room itself wasn’t terrible and the breakfast was decent.
