To start with the good:
1.) Location was nice, right off the interstate and close to restaurants and shops like Walmart if you needed something
2.) Staff was quite friendly and responded to requests quickly
3.) Room was clean
4.) Wireless internet was free
5.) Breakfast was available in a cold, continental style until 9:30am. But by 9am several items were depleted and not restocked.
The bad:
1.) Room was very very dim even with the lights turned on
2.) Other hotel occupants looked "shady"; ie several were smoking shirtless outside the entrance when we pulled up
3.) The bed was likely not a queen as much as a double judging from the difficulty my boyfriend and I had fitting into it at the same time
4.) There was minimal bedding bordering on inadequate--the bed was made up with just sheets, we had to ask at the front desk for one (and it was easily provided, but worn and with holes)
5.) The air conditioner sputtered all night--but we still sweated. In January.
6.) Extra amenities were nonexistent. Soap was available, as well as small, threadbare towels, but no other toiletries, etc.
The verdict: for $50 a night, which is what we paid, it was adequate. For $66 the next night we stayed at a Hampton Inn property and it was leaps and bounds above in almost every category, from the hot breakfast, comfortable beds, and microfridge in the room. If the price is right, there's nothing wrong with this place, but if you hav3e $16 extra dollars there is definitely better out there...
