    Our stay was ok

    Pros: Like being able to find a place online. Was close to the highway.
    Cons: Our reservation did not go throuh to the front desk. Had to wait for front desk clerk to find our reservation. Was very early morning due to traveling. Our dead bolt on our door didn’t work. Not much of a choice fOr breakfast. Only 1/2 a cup of hot coffee available in the morning. No time to wait. Desk clerk had her nose in a computer, did not acknowledge we walked in the door in the morning, did not welcome us with a “hello” or a “good morning”

    Very Poor

    Worst place to stay.

    Pros: Nothing
    Cons: This was the worst experience I’ve ever had!! The old lady in the front was absolutely awful! Roaches in bathroom. The door was open when we got to our room. Batteries wouldn’t work in remote. Then when I asked for some more the old lady acted like it was a major inconvenience for her then asked if I could just change from the tv? What??? Then told me she would just give me a refund to just go get my stuff. She was absolutely the rudest old lady.
