  : The front desk staff was really nice despite having a a shitty customer before me complaining about taxes. The beds were surprisingly comfortable.
  : Ok hear me out on this one since it is 100% my fault. For 1 I had low expectations it's an econo. It is on the lower lower end of my hotel motel list. But we just needed somewhere to sleep for 8 hours under 100 bucks so why the hell not. The reviews weren't too bad so we tried it. The only kings bed that was available was a smoking room. I thought no big deal a small scent of smoke not and issue. Boy was I wrong, my mother is a smoker has been my whole life and I can take some smoke but this room i don't even know how to explain how thick the smell was even woth the air on and half a can of lysol didnt really help. One a good note the sheets did not smell, which tells me they change them. I hipebthat there are not bone smoking rooms right next to these because it has to go through the walls. Other then the thick smell of smoke it's a basic room nothing special it was clean per say as in not dirty no bugs but def needs updates. In a pinch I would book again just not a smoking room. Oh also we didn't make it to breakfast but the area is supper small so I would assume it's just like cereal and fruit available.

  : It is close to our daughters university. We stay when we move her in each year.
  : They have you pay a deposit upon checking in. They check to see before you leave if you have smoked in a non-smoking room. My husband has asthma and it has always been smoked in. I have to tell them each time( that it has been smoked in) so I don't get charged a fee. This last time I had to keep the door and windows open to air it out because it was that terrible. It smelled like a bar. I could hardly breathe and I don't have asthma. We go every year when we move my daughter into college down there. If I didn't just want to sleep after the 17 hour drive and unpacking, I would not stay there.

  : The property has all the basics and was an easy location to the highway.
  : When I arrived I was told they would take me but not through my booking.com booking, instead the front desk guy cancelled that and checked me in through their system which ended up being nearly twice as expensive. We had three kids, including an infant, two dogs and a moving truck, so finding another place last minute was impossible. The “breakfast” advertised was stale cereal and old coffee, our room wasn’t cleaned once, even the trash taken out, in the three nights we ended up stuck there waiting for our house. We ended up getting our own cleaning supplies because bugs came day one. And the staff were very nosey, everytime we took the dogs out they’d come out and stare, and several times when we would be getting things from our uhaul truck the owner would sneak around the side of it and quietly appear next to us but he’d say nothing, just started at us and our stuff until we were done. Absolutely terrifying.
