For a $60 per night rate I was suitably impressed with this place. I wasn't feeling particularly confident about my stay beforehand - I have rarely booked budget accommodation and I had never heard of this chain, and as I booked it through Hotwire I didn't know what I was getting until I'd got it (I can usually relatively successfully second guess the Hotwire hotel before I book, but on this occasion I guessed wrong).
The check-in was very smooth, the person behind the reception desk a bit gruff, but efficient, and when we got to our room, up on the 3rd (top) floor, it was sparkling clean, which was one of my main concerns. The room ws relatively new, with a queen bed, a comfy seat with foot rest, lots of draw space if you were staying a while and a kitchenette with fridge, freezer, microwave and 2 of everything like utensils and crockery and cups. There was a bag of coffee too.
As per another guests comments, do remember to take your own toiletries, as you will only find 2 bars of soap in the room.
There is a Macdonalds and a Wendy's well within 5 minutes walk, and I also saw a genral store over the road although it did look kind of run down and I didn't go in it.
On the down side, the air con was kind of noisy. I also noticed that most of the other clientel while we were there consisted of very young couples who spent lots of time kissing etc in the parking lot - I suppose that's what you get for accommodation of this price, but whether this bothers you will depend on the strength of your stomach! . There was a blown up condom bobbing around at the front of the lobby in the morning too - not so tasteful. but I guess it could just of easily have blown across from one of the other low-cost hotels and motels in this area.
