Not a goo stay

Liked: Location was ok.
Disliked: Staff was not attentive. Room had a musty smell. dated and worn furniture. The room had no hair dryer and the breakfast was worthless, with no milk or orange juice. I am 75 years old and access from my car using the luggage cart was terrible. You had to go over a curb, push it up a ramp, open two doors to get in. It was easier to carry the luggage to the room when leaving!! I would not stay here again!

Terrri le. Dark, dirty rooms....

Liked: Room was spacious
Disliked: Very dated and old. Dark and damp feeling, room felt dirty. Not close by any eateries, it’s tucked behind a car dealership. Breakfast is not great. When we stayed, it was a kids softball tournament. Over fifty kids overtook the pool and running around crazy, parents brining copious alcohol into pool area. Drunk and loud. We had to leave the pool with our littles. Rooms have thin walls so we can hear all the running around and talking loudly. Would not stay here again ever

Pleasant

Liked: Proximity to interstate.
Disliked: There were cars in the parking lot from the car lot that’s adjacent to the property making it hard to find a place to park. Some had multiple flat tires so they had been parked in the lot for some time. The waffle maker was not available.

We had a pleasant stay.

Liked: Breakfast was offered during a broad time range, and the food available was plentiful, diverse, and of reasonable quality. The attendant did an excellent job keeping the dining area clean and supplied. Overall, the service was friendly and competent. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the shower had adequate hot water and pressure. The swimming pool was also clean. Checking in and out was quick and easy.
Disliked: We had a rather noisy HVAC unit, and I thought we must be near the laundry as we could hear what sounded like a washing machine agitating at various times. The microwave didn't work.
