This was not a good place to stay and would not go back there again!! Beds were lumpy, the linens were stained, and there was no breakfast as advertised. One day, I buzzed them to the front windows. It took a while for them to get there. I asked about the breakfast, and she said it was over. I said the sign on the wall says 6am to 10 am daily. It was like 8:30 or so. She went to the kitchen and turned on the waffle machine, threw stuff on the counter and left. Another guy came in looking for coffee, and there was none. They live on the property, have a young boy who is constantly crying and whining, and rides his bike up and down the hallway. They had already charged my stay to my c.c or I would have left and went somewhere else. There was a young man that stood at the front counter for over an hour waiting for help to get into his room. He left to go get him some breakfast at the local mc donalds, which is where we ended up eating. He rang their buzzer probably 50 times and they would not come to the counter! Just a horrible place!!!

Good place to lay your head
The room was comfortable. The refrigerator froze all of our stuff, so that was a little annoying. The sheets were stained up, but appeared to be clean. The service was friendly and good. The breakfast they offer was sub par at best. For a place to lay your head without spending an ungodly amount it was totally worth it. We will definitely use them again in the future.

Service was very unfriendly. Knocked on my door 10:30 ,11 , and 11:15 for check out. Breakfast was poor, only waffle or cereal. There is not much els available around town and thats what keeps them in business. Next time i will stay somewhere different if the service is better.

First of all breakfast was supposed to be untill 10AM, I went to dining area just after 9, lights in dining area were off, NO coffee!! They wouldnt even make any. They speak very little English. She charged me for my Service Animal, ($30) I told her she cant charge for Service Animals. I'm disabled, on oxygen, no staff offered to help me get to my room half way down the hall. Next time I'll spend the extra money and just stay at the Holiday Inn Express...where they actually care about ALL their guests, which is what i should've done in the 1st place! Not a happy guest!!

The rooms are very very similar to Air Force dorm rooms. Breakfast was not available during the advertised time. Had to request several replacement pillowcases before we got some that weren't stained. Driveway to hotel was in terrible shape and there was a tarp on the roof. The church across the block from us was getting broken into and the police were swarming it when we showed up to check in.
