My first impression was a young lady at the desk who very obviously did not want to be there. The room was alright- other than filthy carpet. The shower is amazing. Overall- I’d say this place is fairly rundown. Access from road is also quite limited.

Liked being able to park in front of the room (it was a motel, not hotel). We had a cooler and luggage to haul in. Even though it was right next to the highway, it was very quiet.
Bed was comfy and breakfast was good, sausage and eggs with all the other options…cereal, bagels, etc.
There was a lot for RV’s and trucks, as well

Great overnight stay. So many surprises! We traveled towing a boat, tons of parking to accommodate us. Cameras around so we felt very safe. Madi at the front desk greeted us with her beautiful smile and helpful attitude. The lobby, the room, were cleaned and smelled heavenly. Love their scent. Linda in the break room cooked a perfect breakfast and was so friendly. If we cube this way again, we will choose here.

This hotel had what we needed for a night’s stay. The room seemed to be recently updated and the bed comfortable but the bathroom – not so much. Faucet in the shower was leaking and the toilet didn’t flush properly. I did bring these issues up to the front desk in the morning when I returned my keys. Breakfast was nothing we would eat, so we did not take advantage of that.

We enjoyed our stay! The staff was friendly, the property was clean and it was very close to interstate. We felt safe at the property. Our room was very clean and decorated nicely. The bedding and pillows were very cozy. Checkout was very easy. We will definitely make this our new place to stay when we are in town!

Don’t stay here with spouse or kids. If you’re looking for a cheap option for travel by yourself, it will suffice, but it was sketchy the first night we checked in. There were drunk, shirtless people everywhere and definitely participating in drug use. We were scared to walk from our car to the room (which has an exterior entry, this is a motel). I imagine this is the place in town to bring hookers.
The room itself wasn’t terrible and the breakfast was decent.

Outside of hotel is nothing special, but room was nice enough and not too far from campus. It’s also nice to have a complementary breakfast, they don’t have everything you might want or expect from a higher end chain (I didn’t see yogurt or fruit), but it’s nice to have something available, including coffee.

Very low budget and it shows. No elevator so be ready to lug your bags up the steps. Check your coffee machine for mold before you use it.
Definitely won’t be back there.

The large comfortable room, really more like a junior suite, was nice.

Breakfast was not. Very few items and coffee was mediocre at best.

Very good value. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Not a lot of extra luxuries, but we weren’t expecting that for the price. We just needed a clean, comfortable place to sleep and this was perfect!

Overall the hotel was great, however the barking dog that was beside our room for 2 hours was awful. The dog barked from 10pm-until after midnight. If someone has a dog they should not be able to leave it alone in the room.

Great value

Property was conveniently located, fairly priced, clean and the staff was friendly. Excellent value in my opinion. The property has obviously seen better days, everything is a little dated, my mattress had a low spot and probably should have been replaced by now. But the rooms were very clean. I'd happily stay here again when visiting my student at UA.

This was inexpensive and convenient to many places. Parking was easy. Beds were comfy too. Only issue was that the sink and toilet smelled of rotten eggs every tine used and housekeeping didn't restock soaps and shampoo and conditioner but otherwise was a great stay.

Bed were the best & most important thing. That’s why I did not give this property a 1 star. I do not understand why full size beds are a thing at any property. There’s room for queen size! 2 people cannot sleep well on a full size. Also the bathroom floors are just gross. Breakfast was subpar. Everything else was adequate. What you expect from a 2 star motel.

Had to leave a 100$ deposit but Expedia never told me upfront. Had a lot of older kids in pool area swimming that came from across the street but didn’t cause any problems. Clean, good AC, very nice staff. Bed was comfortable. Lots of fast food choices across the street but heads up, the Popeyes was terrible!

Now what I expected

The night clerk was great!! She was very plesent and helpful. The blankts on the bed were wrinkled, like they had been sitting in a pill or in a basket for days. The room was mostly clean. I did notice some dirt on the floor when I first got in the room. The bed was hard as a rock! The outside of the hotel was very well taken care of. The rooms do need some updating. I was on the back side so it was very inconvenient to go to the oce machine. The breakfast was okay. Typical hotel breakfast.

Could be updated

Nice people but took a shower and walked on carpet and feet bottoms were nasty dirty from the carpet. A/C was cool but was not taking out the humidity. Clothes were damp in the AM and it was hard to sleep. The extra door lock was pulled out of the wall except one e screw.

Property clean and was being worked on every day. Should’ve used the pool but didn’t. Staff was friendly. Room was clean but air wasn’t on upon arrival. Room smelled musty as a result. That wasn’t a problem because I brought plug-ins and room refresher spray. Didnt eat breakfast but should’ve. I preferred to sleep in. Close to restaurants and shopping. Overall, I enjoyed my stay! I would stay again! Perfect birthday getaway for antiquing in the area!

The staff was nice. The room had a couple flies and it smelled stale. The Staff was nice and offered another room, but the family was not having it. We went across the street to AVID hotel. I lost a little money, after booking via expidea-due to cancelation. Hopefully Expidea can credit me a room at a later date. *God will provide!
