Wonderful staff, very helpful and welcoming
The staff was very helpful, the front desk made our family feel welcome and even joked with the kids (10&11). Breakfast was a good variety and had healthy vegan options as well. Everything was presented up front and there were no surprises. Quiet even though right by the highway, you could not hear outside until it rained.

Do not stay here!
This hotel was disgusting. We requested to change rooms 2 times! The entire floor reeked of cigarette and marijuana smoke. The shower was moldy and dirty. The bed linens were covered in stains.

OK hotel
The best thing about this hotel is the waffle maker at the kitchen where they serve complimentary breakfast every morning. Other than that, it’s a really old place and it’s suited for out of state workers.

Bad for families
Not a great place for a family. Nothing against the staff or facility. It just attracted to many homeless people and drug addicts. The facility is next door to a homeless shelter and they are free do anything to they want outside of the hotel.

Don't let the price fool you...
This hotel seemed like a fair-enough stay for an "inexpensive" price, considering neighboring options... however the cleanliness and property is absolutely gross. We checked in late after a long drive to find sketchy people walking around the parking lot, and upon entering our room found dirty underwear, and other items left behind from the last occupants. The entire room smelled like cigarettes and funk. Upon bringing it up to the manager the next morning (who apologized) he mentioned that people had called out and that was why the status of the rooms looked how they did. We paid over $200 for this room (which we were in for less than 6 hours) and were not offered any kind of reimbursement... but he did say he left the buffet open for 30 extra minutes, lol. We declined eating anything on-property. Had it not been 3:30am upon arrival, we would have left and found something else. These pictures don't do it justice. The area is fine enough, but this property needs a MAJOR clean up.

Two stars.....
Jeremy is excellent hotel staff. Breakfast staff and food excellent.
Gym is non functional, broken equipment and broken glass. Gym needs a camera for safety. Outside is unkept and dirty. Service technician work is dirty. Handicapped parking often used by staff with out placard.
Overall it needs proactive care so residents also take care of property.
An abandoned suv with flat tire left on property for two weeks.

Wouldn’t recommend.
Advertised that they cleaned the rooms every 3 days during a stay, we were there a week and housekeeping never came. Never got clean towels, never had the trash picked up. Asked for sheets and a blanket for the pullout couch and they said they didn’t have any. Pool didn’t seem clean, and the paint and floor were peeling a lot. Halls and rooms smelled like smoke even though it’s a non smoking hotel. Renovations needed. Right next door homeless people were sleeping outside of the hotel adjacent to this one.

I liked the location. I didn’t like how Expedia ripped me off on the price. We will never use Expedia again and we will tell all of our friends and family not to ever use them.
