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 (+) 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.
