Very nice and affordable room. Rooms and property are very clean.We stayed 2 nights. We didn't use pool but saw staff cleaning it and it looked well maintained. Breakfast was well stocked and tasty. Housekeeping cleaned our room which we haven't seen much of at other hotels since the pandemic. Big plus was a complimentary charging station for our EV. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again with my family.

The facility is aged. The tub and sink did not drain and water backed up. There was very little water pressure. Thankfully the toilet flushed.

Comfortable bed, plenty of towels, good size TV and alrm clock There was hallway light coming in from under the door. My room's window looked out onto a shopping center's very bright light. The curtain was broken and I couldn't close it to block out the light - which shined right across my head all night. Made me wake up like 4 times during the night

Breakfast staff are working diligently but not able to meet the demand. Not many fruits and no yogurt. Juice mix is very bad, it looks like drinking flavored water. Bathroom doesn't;have hair dryer and no exhaust..

The check in was a little shaky. They gave my room to another guest also , who was trying to enter my room while I was in it. The breakfast was great. The room was clean. I would recommend this for a short stay. I only stayed 1 night, was there for a graduation.

It was clean. Coffee pots were empty when we came down for breakfast. There was no staff around to inform them the pots were empty. We also had to walk through the smell of cigarettes in the hall because someone was standing just outside one of the side doors.

Outside and parking lot was ran down. Lobby was clean and nice. Room was clean. But no hand soap provided, lotion, and body soap in shower was empty. Breakfast was below average. Staff was fine, but definitely understaffed. Overall, a decent stay. But for over a $200 stay you could expect more.

The room was just okay, nothing spectacular. I was quite disappointed that I paid extra for a suite with a whirlpool tub but after running 3 clean cycles trying to clean out the jets, there was still a lot of nasty gunk coming out so I ultimately decided against using it for bathing.

I dare you to wipe the entire counter, table, phone, etc. Also most of the linens I saw had stains or hairs on them despite getting new ones. If this lets me attach photos and videos I will, but the cleaning staff has bad eye sight at bare minimum bc they changed the pillows into dirty cases IN FRONT OF ME and didn’t completely clean up the sauce splatter I pointed out on the nightstand. It’s been a week with no email reply from the owner.

We were visiting and the nite prior to our visit it was a bad storm and the hotel lost power when we reserved our room the next day 04/18/2026 our room was very cold that night and our heater wouldn’t com
- 3/5
Major storm came thru late evening and took down trees, fences, and the HVAC on the roof of the hotel, which then somehow ripped a gas line. Near 11:30pm, maintenance pounded on the door telling us to vacate our room and meet in the lobby. After we managed to find our way down stairs (no assistance) and waiting 20-30 minutes for some information, we were told that all was clear and we could return to our room... No power, heat, AC. Power was restored around 8:00am, but no hot water. Eventful night and a story to tell.
- 5/5
There were a few strange things. My room had a mirror mounted behind the TV and it felt like the furniture wasn't properly sized for the room. The hotel it's self seems like two buildings connected together. Overall, it was a good stay and i'd consider staying here again.

This was the worst experience we have had on our rt 66 journey. First it is on a service road with a difficult address. So my navigation couldn’t find it. So we tried to call for directions. It is a national chain so you get sent to their main national number without a person to talked to. I called hotels.com, where I booked it. I got a person, they called the hotel then called me back and gave me the number. That was the problem. The girl at the desk was indian and couldn’t speak english very well and couldn’t spell. She sent us on a long goose chase that resulted in us getting more upset. No one else was there to talk too. So finally someone else came to work that could speak better English. She gave me the exit number, the street in front of the service road and a mall close by. All that information helped us find it. So we arrived finally.

The room was clean, and while the building itself was older, it was well maintained and I was very comfortable staying there. I would stay again!

Sink wouldn't drain correctly and we had to hold the lever down on the toilet for it to flush. House keeping didn't knock nor announce themselves and just opened the door at 10:30am when check out is 11am, thank goodness we had the top lock on and it stopped them bc my daughter was in the middle of getting dressed!!! Will not return.

The room is very clean. The people were extremely nice. The only thing that I didn’t care for was the floor plan and I don’t think that they can avoid it but between the bed and the wall wall wall and what’s up against the wall, there’s not much walk room it was fine for me, but I am a slender woman my son who is a little bit bigger had a little bit difficulty.

The great ratings were not accurate in my opinion. Place was really run down and we were the only car in the large parking lot at 6:00 pm on a Friday night . We checked out and went elsewhere. Lost $131 bucks but was worth it.

very nice and clean property. beds were very comfy. parking, a breeze. check-in was quick and easy; employee was friendly and welcoming. the gentleman that works the breakfast area was very pleasant and helpful - he went above and beyond...i asked if there was ice in their service area, and he said no but offered to go get me some...we don't see that kind of service anymore. would def return and recommend.

Our room was quite comfortable although a little on the small side. I chose the hotel because it had a no pets policy (I have allergies) and thus was willing to go to a hotel further off the highway. But the location proved to be good, as there were lots of restaurants to choose from in the immediate vicinity. Service and parking were fine.

Just overnight stay when visiting family. Did not partake in breakfast.

I work a contract at the hospital. And this hotel has been nothing short of amazing for me. Especially considering my work schedule, the staff at the desk goes above and beyond to accommodate. The hotel is VERY clean and comfortable. It doesn’t smell like mildew, cigarette smoke or anything else offensive. My only minor issue is that I work overnights, and sleep during the day. I’m assuming they are doing more updating because I heard a lot more construction sounding work next door, above me and right out the door. But other than that this place is the ONLY place I plan to stay at these last 6 weeks

The desk staff was amazing! She put us in a quiet spot on the 3rd floor!! We were beyond exhausted when we arrived so we appreciated her finding us the perfect spot. However, the bathroom had probably not been cleaned before and the sink drain was plugged up. Took 10 min or so to drain. Breakfast was ok.

I thought it was great for the price and a good breakfast but a few things that were irritating. There was a portable closet almost in front of the AC so it didn't cool as well as it should. The satellite gave out when watching something way to often. It may seem strange but the toilet was super low I'm not that tall average height but it was low. Would I stay again probably but not in that room and would look at other options before I decided to come back.

The location was great, stayed here while doing an ISU move in. The hotel is decent but has kind of an odd layout. If you have a room that starts in the low numbers you have to walk all the way down the hall from the front desk to get to an elevator to go up and then walk all the way back over to your room. There is a stair case you can walk down instead but that leads you to the parking lot. Also, the a/c did not get very cold and the curtain was broken.

Our Tv did not work the whole 2nd and 3rd day. The front desk did not offer to help. I slipped and fell in the pool because the ladder was very slick and did not have tread on the steps for grip.

I would probably not ever reuse this hotel. Our room was super musty and my guess is that is because there is no ventilation in the bathroom. The outside was not cleaned up and the parking felt a bit unsafe, as you had to park all the way around the back. It served a purpose, but I would not return unless I had to.
