    Imorove technology. Room cards continously (several times daily) lost there charge to gain room access and the WI-FI constantly would go down! The front desk was VERY seldom staffed so had to phone and wait for staff. This was especially troublesome since we stayed for 7 days.

    Place was very clean, good location, fair price and what limited breakfast items there were, were fresh.

    No diverter for the shower head, bathtub stained, comfortable and clean bed, clean.

    The shower/bathtub did not have a diverter. There was a shower head, but there was absolutely no way to turn the shower on. The bath faucet ran water just fine, but like I said, it didn’t have a diverter, and there was not a diverter of any kind. It was strange. Maybe it was just our room, but we had to bathe by filling up a cup with water multiple times to pour it on ourselves. The tub looked stained and sort of iffy, which is why we didn’t opt to take a bath instead of a shower. There was little counter space in the bathroom. There wasn’t an ironing board nor an iron in our room, so we had to ask for one. I thought the T.V. didn’t work at first, but later found that it was because it was not plugged in. The lamps were kind of dim.

    Inexpensive, pretty clean, the bed and pillows were were clean and comfortable, there was a mini fridge and microwave, vending machines, a clothes dryer and washer that you could use if you had $2-$4 in quarters (but there was no detergent), and housekeeping was very friendly, as was the manager. The breakfast was fine- it was exactly as you would expect. There was an extra desk/bench thing in our room which enabled us to keep a lot of stuff off of the floor. Overall, it was a good experience. It was not dirty or gross, which is pretty much all I care about. I could stay here again if I had to, but only if the shower would work. If showering is out of the question, then I would not stay here again. Overall, a pleasant experience, minus the shower/tub not having a diverter for the shower head.

    Little older hotel but they have done updating

    Staff went out of their way. Offered to carry my bags in as I have a pinched nerve in my back. Switched rooms so I didn't have to go up the stairs. Room was clean, bed comfortable, water was hot. Lots of options on TV including HBO, Cinemax, etc. Would stay again!

    Had a towel down in 2 spots - assume leaky ceiling. Indoor pool had no water in it, pool room appeared to be used for storing boxes. Xmas decoration up in front entry… either very early decoration or still up from a year ago.

    Breakfast was ok. Have self serve waffles, cold cereal, toast, orange juice from a jar, pastries wrapped in cellophane which were a bit stale. Microwaving helped them. Plenty of room for seating.

    Cheap hotel that delivers by not being dirty or uncomfortable.

    The breakfast was simple and low-quality (the yogurt, the breakfast cereals, the waffle mix). Bad coffee, too. At least the bananas were good. And you're in an area with many fast food places (McDonalds, Wendy's) and Perkins for alternatives, so that wasn't a problem for us. There used to be a swimming pool but although the sign says it is just closed for inspection, the amount of stuff stored in the swimming area suggests otherwise. Although we got a no-smoking room, the overall hotel smells like there's been some smoking in the building.

    The mattress was very good (and covered with several layers to ensure cleanliness), so we slept well. The cost and value was our big variable, so we ended up in this place--cheap. And for what we paid, we got more than we expected. Clean, simple. Everything worked fine, including the hot water in the shower. So it got the job done.

    The shower curtains need to be changed in 2 of the 3 rooms we were in. Everything else was very clean and nice, including the breakfast area.

    We enjoyed the fruit, yogurt and waffles. Everyone had a good breakfa before we left. The room was very comfortable and quiet. We appreciated being able to have our 3 rooms next to each other. We spent the night here on our way home from vacation. Well priced!

    The guests were very, very noisy, right up until around midnight. Lots of banging doors, yelling to each other down the hallways. The microwave in our room didn’t work, and the TV in the breakfast area was locked on a bad 90’s sit com.

    Breakfast was a little weak, one flavor of low fat yogurt, fruit loops or Raisin Bran, that waffle maker, and a bowl of fruit.

    pool was closed, apparently has been for several months (according to other reviews online) had a non-smoking room but was smelling smoker rooms in hallway to & from room no elevator for 2nd floor rooms

    right off the highway, several dining options nearby & plenty of parking was freshly painted, felt like they were starting/in the middle of a renovation
