Pleasantly surprised
At the price I wasn't expecting a great experience. I was very pleasantly surprised. First the front desk person, Ashley, was fun and friendly. Very good first impression. 2nd the room smelled nice and was very clean. I'm a carpenter so I noticed cosmetic issues but definitely not a deal breaker. I will stay here again.

Shady non-guests and drunk crackheads allowed
The hotel stay allow transient people to stand outside the front doors, hang out in the lobby and it was very uncomfortable because the strange man would watch me go to and from my room every day. They allowed his dog to poop right on the sidewalk at the entry so we had to walk by it getting to our car.
There was also a disturbance with some drunk guests and it was very violent and the staff members did not handle it or call the cops or kick out the rowdy drunks.
I will not be staying there on my next trip.

All was improved since our last stay. The only really bad thing was a sewer smell in our room. The low cost was the reason we stayed as we were just passing through.

Pictures on their website are outdated as the breakfast area no longer has a waffle maker or microwave. The workout area also was missing the recumbent peddle bike and the tv in the workout area. We also had the unfortunate luck of staying when the pool area was closed.

Bed was comfy and bathroom/shower newly redone and very clean. There was a very faint smell of smoke - not sure if it was from wildfire smoke or live-in guests smoking where they should not. Overall good stay; would probably stay again if only for one night. Very convenient to both north-south and east-west interstate highways.

Nice hotel
It was a nice room and not too hard to find. There are no coffee machines in the rooms which was a little odd and you had to travel down to where the front desk was to be able to get coffee but that's just a creature comfort people are used to being able to have in the rooms. Not a huge selection for the breakfast but what they had was good and clean and friendly.
