Making the customer wait exactly 3:00 just to check in. Its unprofessional making people file up on the reception area plus there’s babies and seniors waiting just to wait for the line cause it’s already the exact time to get checked in, never had a problem before with any other hotel we checked in.Didn’t like also the fact that the hotel was in auto with their aircon. Thinking will have a good sleep cause we paid for it but ended up sweating because of the aircon set up. It’s funny, cause when we check out and head out the door that it’s cooler and nicer than our room.

This was an absolute blessing of sorts as they had room for big trucks to park. Didn't enjoy being woke up at 1209 am because someone had decided to set the alarm on the alarm clock but no problemo unplugged it and drifted back to sleep lol. Wouldve been better had there been some eating joints close by. BBQ place across road closed at 6 and yep I pulled in at 620 so oh well lol. So yep if you're down around the area in a big rig they have ya covered. Rooms were super nice and shower felt great even
