Its nice but over priced. $150 for a Room that needs to be rennovated in what is basically the middle of nowhere is insane. Also they gave me a 1st Floor Room which wasnt fun having to keep the curtains closed all day ans night so the cars in the parking lot 4 feet away couldnt see in. Wont ever go there again unless its for a hookup

I can’t complain great spot great location and super friendly, one thing I definitely will agree from past reviews here is the water quality & it’s dated back to 4yrs ago & water is still brown so idk what’s the deal with that but I went to Walmart to buy gallons of water for me & my partner to bathe due to the water being brown & it’s nasty to shower in. So yeah that’s why I gave it a 4 star review but other than the water this place is very nice clean & friendly staff

I didn't like my stay at this hotel at all. The bedding is all wrinkled and smells bad, like it hasn't been changed at all. Everything is old and worn out. It looks shabby. The staff doesn't care about anything. And this is a 4-star hotel? I would give it 2 stars at most, and that's too much.

Never stay here! The location of this hotel was ideal for where we needed to be for the weekend. Upon checking in everything went smooth. Then the next morning I went to take a shower and the water ran brown for about 2-3 minutes. I asked the front desk if they could switch our room. She told me it was just the pipes and it would run clear. I explained to her that I understood but that I wouldn’t feel clean showering with that water and would really prefer to switch my room. I’ve stayed here before and this hasn’t been an issue until now. She denied my request and told me that they were sold out. This was a lie because online they have rooms available. Additionally, the woman at the front desk told me the brown water I was supposed to shower with was a non issue when I asked if she herself would feel comfortable showering with brown water.
