The homeless folks in the parking lot and outside hotel doors made my family uncomfortable. Hotel needs updating. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. If the need is for cheap overnight place to sleep and leave quickly it works.

First of all, I just wanted to mention that the place was very unclean. There was bugs on the bed next to me and stains on the sheets. We were so tired because we drove up there to pick up our daughter from college and didn’t have the energy to complain. I would love to have my money back if possible since we were only there for a few hours.
