    Walmart & shopping center right next door along with several restaurants & gas station nearby. Quick drive to Watertown. Clean building & friendly staff. Suites are spacious. Low rates, good place to rest.

    Room was decent , however there were 2 towels for 2 of us. I use 2 towels myself when I shower. The hot water didn't last long enough to soap up half my body. When brought up to the desk it was ignored, as were the requests for more towels.

    This hotel was just fantastic! We had some of our workers out there for a project the past couple of months and everyone was really happy with the hotel I chose. Clean, comfortable, easy to work with.

    I waited almost an hour for my room, while sitting in the lobby drenched in gasoline from work. Was told they were short staffed yet almost fully booked. I got into the room and found no toilet paper. The water in the shower went from hot to cold and back again with no warning the entire time. Being so close to a military base you hear a bugle playing in the distance. So thats sort of cool, or annoying depending on what youre trying to do. Comfortable bed, clean room. Would rather pay to stay at the Hampton in Watertown for the price unfortunately.
