OK, I have stayed here multiple times and it's not going to win the best hotel award, but it's a good, clean place at a good price. I actually had others who had no betting interest in the place and they were very complimentary of the spaciousness and quality of the rooms. Very happy with the value and will stay here again.

No complaints here. Check in was fast, front desk was super friendly. The gym had a big sleection of machines/equipment. Plenty of washers and dryers. Its close to the freeway and within walking distance to a waffle house. There's a Walmart, Starbucks, and other eateries only 4 minutes away.
