Parking was a challenge as they are reconfiguring and installing new asphalt. When I arrived they couldn’t find my itinerary as my ID did not match the name I booked it under. I think that was more a Hotel,com error. I had to wait hours for ice from the one ice machine that they have. I am 5’2” and would have benefitted from a step stool to get in the very tall bed. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. There were no healthy choices.

The most basic place you can stay. Unfriendly walk-up window outside to check in. Beds sound light thunder since metal but actually ok to sleep on. The pillows are wrapped so tight since they are small that they are square in shape.

It is under construction which wasn't an issue on the weekend, but the parking lot was confusing to get out of. We had a wheelchair, and it was challenging to maneuver over the broken asphalt. The handicapped room was basic but had appropriate ADA necessities - low beds, walk in shower, plenty of room to move around in a wheelchair. Breakfast was bacon-egg-cheese biscuits, pastries, fruit, juice and coffee. I thought it met the expectations of a motel continental breakfast, but definitely not a hotel level. The room appeared clean but i found a large clump of hair on the shower wall meaning they had not washed down the shower from the last people. That made me second guess the cleanliness of the entire room. The pillows are small and weird. The beds are made with multiple flat sheets - flat sheets instead of fitted, and two flat sheets covering the comforter instead of a duvet. So all night, it was a tangled mess trying to figure out what sheet went where. You can hear everything from the next door rooms, people outside and upstairs. Overall, it was a place to sleep and one of the cheaper places in town. You get what you pay for I suppose.

Room was nice and check in was easy. Room and lobby were very clean and well maintained. There was construction going on around the property. Everything was great, except for the bright lights that stream through the sides of the curtains and you can hear the other guests walking and talking by your room late at night. The bed was really comfortable. Overall, a great place to stay.

They were rebuilding the swimming pool while we were there. Very loud. But when it's finished I'm sure it will be fantastic.

Room clean but very basic. Pool unavailable due to construction, breakfast not served. Gas powered tile cutting saw operated at 7am twenty three feet from room doorway. Dirt all over parking area which was tracked into rooms. Clerk argued regarding amenties...told me it was on their website and take it up with Expedia for refund. I would like to be contacted by Expedia regarding refund. This hotel should not be listed until construction is completed

Place had construction going on for the pool and the workers were just on the site drinking until 8pm then the room next to us were partying until past midnight slamming doors and being extremely loud. Offered no compensation and the breakfast is just coffee, bananas and 2 different pastries. You have to pay for the water or juice.
