Alright for the cost
I booked using one of those discount sites and wasn't disappointed. Check-in was easy and when I told the clerk I had two new knees he gave me a handicapped room on the first floor. I got in the room and it was already at a comfortable level. There was a micro fridge, hair drier and normal toiletries, no coffee, although there was coffee in the lobby. There was WiFi and cable. The shower was great and the bed was comfortable. There was a continental breakfast in the morning.

Stayed two nights and everything was fine. Not a brand new property but a clean moderately updated property.
Basic breakfast but no big deal there. I’m cool with this place !

Room cleanliness
I found a grasshopper and a roach in the bathroom and the beds needed to be replaced with newer beds there were stains on the bed. Other than that the hotel staff and making the priority of the guest was especially helpful

The smoke smell was too much
I’ve stayed at this location numerous times an for some odd reason they put me in the smoking room.. I don’t smoke that room was reeking of cigarette smoke for a smoker it could be perfect.. the comforter has cig burns in it.
