"This was definitely an older property and budget-wise. It was conveniently located and easy to find (our first time in area). The bed was very soft-a bit strange. I would stay here if I am concerned about expenses, but the next time I think we'll spend more and stay at a bit more upscale of a hotel."
"Nobody told me this place is in the middle of an industrial area.
The room was clean, staff were friendly and responsive, breakfast was standard fare for these places. Couldn’t complain except it was under renovation and we had a view. - of the back wall of a Lowe’s.
If you’re looking for convenient shopping, this place has it. But no nature except the fish ponds at the entrance.
If you’re looking yo stay in this area there are better options. But the price was right."
"Staff (Carmen) was wonderful at check in for us.
Staff in the morning were friendly and helpful. Was pleasantly surprised when we walked into our room. Bed was comfy. Room was clean!
Only thing was the porch light was so bright it leaked into the room even after closing the curtains (from the side of the curtains) "
"Beware, the pictures online are likely AI generated and not what you will encounter at the property. No welcoming lobby area, rooms are very basic. The staff is nice, and the hotel is clean/basic. Breakfast "included" but options are bare minimum."
