The location wad good
The rooms were not cleaned. When we turned back the covers of the beds there were hairs, grass and dirt in BOTH beds. Dead bugs ALL on the floors and dirt and grass. A partial 12 pack of beer left in fridge. The precious occupants shampoo was in the shower. The sink had a big hair in it. It apparently was never cleaned. The manager gave us keys to 2 other rooms and they were EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION. Nasty, nasty, nasty!!

No carpet on the floor was a plus.
The mattress sat on a metal pedestal that made noise when moving on the bed, like metal ductwork. Bad idea to use metal for a bed pedestal.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Great location. Convenient access to I-65, gas, food, and shopping.
The bed was on a very noisy metal frame.

Breakfast was normal traveling hotel food; eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy,etc.
The room was disgusting! Gnats flying around everywhere. Black spots on everything - fly, gnat poop? I don’t know but it was gross. Shower curtain had dried blood on it. Will never stay in a red roof again!!

Not much
Rooms were dirty, the beds were horrible, and those metal skirting in the beds have to go. They make a pound sound when you move. I questioned if someone occupied that room. It smelt like food being cooked. Won't be returning, and we travel quite a bit. I should have too pictures, the tub had hair I it, the soapscum it horrible. I know house keeping it rushed but they need to think what would I like if I were to stay here.

The maid started knocking on my door at 730 then 830 the 900am. I had planned on sleeping late. I didn't get in bed till after midnight. We had Christmas on my wife's side of our family. I just finished working 10 days in a row and had to drive 4 hours home today.

It was clean and ready and the staff were friendly and helpful
Everything was great, I thought the breakfast tasted a little off, but not enough to stop me from eating. We would definitely stay again

Don't plan on anyone being available at reception. When we arrived to check-in, the doors were locked. We waited 20+ minutes for someone to finally open the front doors so we could check in. The beds were not comfortable nor sturdy. Felt like they were on wheels and slid across the floor when trying to sit on. The room only supplied 2 towels for 4 people. Tried to reach the front desk again and again the doors were locked and no one around. Waited for 15 minutes before finally giving up. Not sure how you can run a business when no one is ever at the front desk. When did hotels become "self-serve"?! Would not stay here again nor recommend.
6.0
place to park my semi truck. Lady at front desk was very nice and helpful
TV in my room didn’t work so I had to change room’s. Beds were very itchy. Water pressure in shower was poor. Other guest were very noisy most of the night very inconsiderate of myself and others trying to sleep.

location was good
Needed soap in bathroom, the door didn’t fit tight so light & noise came in all night. Property was old & dinghy. Told there was 24 hr coffee in check in but when trying to get some very early am front door was locked & note send back in a few minutes-went back 4 times before staff opened door & then there wasn’t any coffee.
1.0
The location was right off the highway. Front desk clerk was nice. And that's pretty much where it ends. I would not stay here again even if it was free.
The floor was unbelievably filthy. Socks were ruined within the first minute. We ended up throwing away the socks and wearing our shoes...even to sleep. The freezer/refrigerator had some kind of mystery purple goo all smeared inside.
The shower was gross and dirty and I wouldn't even shower my dog in there. If you have ever seen the remake of National Lampoons Vacation with Christina Applegate.....you will know what I mean when I say the hotel shower/bathroom was just like in the movie.
We slept with one eye open.

convenient to I-65
A tad noisy from the doors slamming

Nothing.
The room was not inhabitable. The floor was dirty and had hair on it. The shower/tub and the bathroom sink didn't drain. The room should have never been let. We weren't told of the plumbing issues until we checked out early. We lost a significant amount of money because we left early.
9.0
easy check in, everything was quick and convenient

Location, new flooring
Trash was piled under the steps. Steps were covered in dirt and debris. We went for breakfast at 8; there were 2 danish/muffins left. There was no indication that the food was to be restocked. I truly felt sorry for the two cleaning staff that I saw. You need a dumpster for the trash, not under the stairs..I do think that is fire code violation. The metal bed frames were made noise getting in and out of the bed. This is our last stay.
6.0
Location wad amazing.
Tried to charge me 30$ more then the reservation saying it was on occupancy but my reservation otherwise. I did have it refunded.
The beds were both lacking - my kids felt to many kids jumped on the beds and broke down their internal structure that helped you get a good night sleep. Since you fell into a hollow spot on the mattress.
