The woman (im sorry I forgot her name and she might be the owner) who helped us at the front desk, was soooooooooo nice! The location was perfect for us! Its a couple minutes off 80 West. The room was simple and I even got to soak in tub, yes, there are bathtubs. I loved it! We'll definitely be back when we're out that way.

Okay room.... Just okay...

The air conditioner worked quite well. When I arrived I did not have two beds. So I had to request a roll away. It was quite comfortable. The woman who helped set it up was very pleasant very nice. She was very kind and helpful and brought me a Wi-Fi password. But the room was very worn and needed some major renovating.

Although the property was cheap and the staff was friendly, there were several issues during my stay. Firstly, I made a reservation in June for a room in August, and upon arrival, it seemed that they didn't actually reserve my room. They told me that I was "in luck since they had one left," I'm curious what would've happened if I showed up without being so "lucky." The room I did end up getting was dirty, with cigarette butts and bobby pins still littered along parts of the room. The bathroom had toilet paper plugged into a small hole in the floor, not sure how long that had been there. The sink also appeared very dirty. Definitely would encourage staff to be more diligent about cleaning and honoring reservations.

Needs a lot of work.

Main issue was it was not clean, carpet very dirty and really dirty under the beds. Chair in room had a large questionable stain. Because it was so dirty, we did not use the shower. No blankets in the room just a thin sheet and thin bedspread. Two remotes for the TV but no instructions on how to use them so we only could get a couple channels. No amenities. Ice only available in the office when it was open. Outside of each room were the most torn up delapidated chairs that looked awful and no one would want to use. Did not have our reservations eventhough we had a confirmation number. Showed a room $20 cheaper on line on the day we arrived than we were quoted however, they did honor the cheaper rate. We only stayed one night due to lack of cleanliness but clerk could not process our second night refund so not sure if it was processed the next day or not. The woman who checked us in was very nice. The property behind it was large and beautiful which was the only nice thing about it. It could be acceptable if these issues were resolved.
