The place required a $50 deposit. That was not a problem. Then I was told that they wanted a $70 deposit since there were 3 of us. They took both the $50 & the $70. Then they only returned my $70. They room was $148. They took $260 and returned $70. Do the math. Neither of tjise females seemed to know ehat they were doing. I did not discover how they stole from me until 3 days later.

It's giving scam!

Beware! This place does not fully return deposits. They claim for a service fee and cleaning fee. When you make deposit they do not tell you this. I called to find out why my entire deposit wasn't returned and was called gay and shouted at. Then i placed this dame review on Google and the lied and said I was kicked out which is very far from the truth. Check other reviews about their scammy practices.

The hotel was overpriced-I think because of the eclipse-I think they raised the price for that reason.
I could hear everything happening in the office next door, the room next to mine and the room above mine. It was louder than normal hotel noises.
I picked this hot for the free breakfast.(and there were very few rooms left and I didn't have a choice of dates.) I didn't expect much. They had a waffle machine, 3 or 4 cereals, bread, and some individually packaged pastries. I only wanted cereal so I got my bowl and went to get milk, but there was none. The desk clerk had stepped away (and no one was available to ask) so I grabbed my coffee and dry cereal to eat in my room. He must have come out because I got almost to my door and he chased me down to tell me there was no carry out. He said I HAD to eat in their \"dining area\". I explained that there wasn't even milk available so I was just going to eat in my room and he said I could not. (There was a table with chairs, a mini fridge and a microwave in the room. It wasn't about food in the room.) I was so flustered that I handed him the bowl and said that I just wouldn't eat. He tried to reiterate the rules and the selections but I just said I wasn't going to eat and I no longer wanted the cereal. The whole situation was ridiculous. I was not bringing extra food or trying to feed an extra person, I just didn't want to sit in a room with 4 or 5 tables, alone, eating dry cereal.
The whole situation was bizarre.

OK room, excellent bed, crappy breakfast.

Comfortable bed and pillows. Room heater kept room toasty. Bathroom was just ok: toilet was old style and extremely low, door didn't close and latch. Generally room was clean, but tired and dated.
Breakfast was crappy. Waffle with sugary syrup and margarine, cold cereal/milk, sugary muffins and sugar glazed rolls, and watery orange juice (probably TANG). No hot cereal, no yogurt, no fruit, no eggs, no meat.
The coffee was excellent, though.

Only downside is the entrance is tricky due to construction right in front which will last another 6 months. Plenty of room for our dog kennel. Bathroom was a bit tight but ok. Well lit parking lot and quiet at night. Our pet deposit was refunded very soon after check out. We will stay again on our way through, good value for price.

Rooms look nothing like they do online, at least ours didn’t. Bed was hard as a rock, we could barely stand the next morning after sleeping on it. The area is noisy and sketchy and there were people running up and down outside all night. The vending machine had 3 options: water, Coke, Root Beer. The bathroom was the size of a closet, you had to turn sideways to even shut the door and the toilet was so close to the door you had to pull your legs in to close the door. I needed an iron and it said the rooms had one...if ours did it must have been hidden in the huge bathroom because we never found it
