It was about what you'd expect for the price. The beds were comfortable, and the fixtures worked. Despite it being homecoming weekend at the local college, it was a quiet stay. Breakfast was offered, but we missed it due to being late risers.
The room could have been a little cleaner. Noticed some questionable spots on the walls, and it looked like the corners were missed when the floors were swept. There was a water leak from the bathroom above us.

Clean
The comforter on the bed was as thin as a sheet. The humidity in the room made everything feel wet. Because of the humidity, the floor was slick.

The bed was clean, thankfully, but that was about it.
My daughter and i decided to take a trip together and we booked this hotel. I usually read the reviews first, but I was in a hurry, and I've never had a problem before. The description of the place said all good things.
First off, the property looks like a dump. It said there was a restaurant attached to the hotel, but there was not, more like an old run-down night club. You had to check in using a kiosk talking to someone on pretty much a Zoom call who barely spoke english. It took forever to check in, and then there was an added $100 deposited for the room that was not mentioned anywhere. Once we got into our room, we looked everything over. The bathroom counter was filthy with some kind of white dust, I am going to assume dry wall dust. There were holes in the walls, dust, and dirt everywhere. The door plate on the door was broken, so you couldn't close the door unless you shoved it back in place. Thankfully, the bed was clean and free of bed bugs. I wanted to get a refund and go to another hotel, but of course with only having a kiosk to speak to that was pretty much useless. My daughter said it was fine so we stayed. Later, we decided to go get some dinner and out in the parking lot, There was a woman snorting. What I can only imagine was cocaine. The breakfast was definitely lacking, as in you will need to go elsewhere for breakfast. Our second day coming back to the hotel, we had to get new room cards because ours wouldn't work. Of course, we had to talk to the stupid kiosk again. Useless machine. Check out wasn't too bad since they finally found someone who could speak English. But of course, I managed to be an idiot and forgot my boots in the hotel, got all the way home (4 hours away) I messaged the property and they said they found them but I would have to come pick them up...I'm 4 hours away I can't just come pick them up. I mentioned to them about taking it to the ups location close by, and I would set up a shipment.

It was cheap and only medium gross
The security locks had been removed from inside the door. We wedgeed the ironing board between thr door and the wall to remedy that issue.

It was clean and the staff was professional
TV didn’t work. There are 2 Dish boxes. One is hooked up to the TV the other is hooked up to cable. Wires are hanging down the wall for the Dish boxes. The entry door to my room had been forced in at one time. You could open the door without turning the knob. The frame hasn’t been replaced since the door was forced in. It’s been painted over so it’s not like mo one knew.

It was clean and the bed was comfortable.
There was a noticeable musty smell in the room. The furnishings were dated and some were in need of repair.

Nice quiet place with easy access from the highway. Had a small problem with our first room (missing curtain and remote), called the front desk and were moved right away. No excuses made, just a quick apology and an even quicker move across the hall. staff handled it perfectly, couldn't ask for a better solution. Great location to other shops and restaurants.
2.8
You can tell the place is under new management and they are trying.
It was older and very aged, but you can tell there is effort to make it better.

Location.
Room needs to be updated. View from window was depressing. Grounds on rear of hotel were not well kept.
