Had the basic necessities and the bed was very comfortable! Some small issues — hand soap pump in my room was broken; the hair dryer died after the first day; the mini fridge freezes stuff — but overall I was still happy with my stay, and the staff were lovely!

“Comfortable, Relaxing, and Hassle-Free”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My stay was amazing! I just needed a comfortable place to rest my head and spend some time visiting with my son, and this hotel was perfect. The room was clean, the atmosphere was relaxing, and I had a great day overall. No complaints at all, I truly loved it!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The experience was an expectedly spartan one -- which is absolutely fine. The staff was friendly, making check in and out an easy thing. The room was a bit run-down but the bed was comfortable. The pillows were, oddly, not real bed pillows; instead, they were small and square, like throw pillows but with full sized pillowcases on them. I think the main annoyance came each night after midnight, when there would be drunken screaming in the parking lot, and what sounded like groups of college students running around the property visiting or dropping off friends.
