This hotel felt more like a motel. While it was clean, conveniently located near stores and restaurants, and situated in a decent area overall, I noticed several areas in the room that needed repair. There appeared to be potential termite issues, as I observed wood damage on the wall and baseboard trim. Additionally, I found a cockroach in my room. Unfortunately, because I booked through Expedia, the hotel was unable to offer any refund for part of my stay.

Inn has a swimming pool. Place is old but still decent and the room has a microwave and a frig. It is decent because it has the basic amenities for a stay.

The staff was wonderful. The lock on my room was stuck and it was the last room available. The night manager went out of his way to help me find a room after a long day of driving. His service was the highlight. The room I needed up staying in was superficially clean, no bugs, but the maintenance and upkeep is lacking. Overall, great service, and for how much I paid, I guess I should not complain.

It was not terrible considering the price. The gentleman that checked us in was very friendly and helpful. Initially the room they gave us was clean and nice. However the lock was broken and we had to move. Second room was pretty gross but my youngest is autistic and likes to run off so the chain lock was a must. While I was not impressed with the room overall it was an ok place.
