the room was nice and you could tell it was a newly remodeled room however when we arrived Wednesday night we let them know the refrigerator was not working due to the seal being broken but they did not bring a new one until late Friday and we were leaving the next day. we did let the cleaning lady know that we didn't need any cleaning but she did bring us clean towels every day.
Room was modern, and the owners appear to be working on more improvements (ie; the parking lot was repaved while I was here), the beds are comfortable, at night the facility is well lit, and housekeeping checks in every day. Cons include upstairs dryer has no heat and housekeeping could do a more through job between guests. Overall a good stay at a reasonable rate.
Especially the price... room, customer service all deserve 5 stars. They helped us change dates when a military class was canceled on short notice. Thx ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Parker gave us excellent customer service and was polite. Thank u so much hotel is awesome
I stayed in room 233 for 1 night (June 27-28). The room had a new floor, a fresh coat of paint, and the beds were clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was clean, although the toilet could have had an extra scrubbing session. The room had a microwave, mini fridge, t.v. with cable, and ironing board. However, It didn't have an iron, or blow dryer. The surrounding area felt safe to me. I believe the front desk persons name was Elton. He was very personable and told me that breakfast started at 5:30. I was gone before that time so I don't have info on what was available. This will definitely be my rest stop for future travels.
Great customer service after I made a big mistake booking The room! Parker was so helpful!
