Good place for an economical stay.
When getting to my room I heard dog barking if I made a sound so I went to ask about it and the desk associate gave me what turned out to be a better room.

Now what I expected
The night clerk was great!! She was very plesent and helpful. The blankts on the bed were wrinkled, like they had been sitting in a pill or in a basket for days. The room was mostly clean. I did notice some dirt on the floor when I first got in the room. The bed was hard as a rock! The outside of the hotel was very well taken care of. The rooms do need some updating. I was on the back side so it was very inconvenient to go to the oce machine. The breakfast was okay. Typical hotel breakfast.

Could be updated
Nice people but took a shower and walked on carpet and feet bottoms were nasty dirty from the carpet. A/C was cool but was not taking out the humidity. Clothes were damp in the AM and it was hard to sleep. The extra door lock was pulled out of the wall except one e screw.

Not your normal best western
We were passing through on our way home and it was late. I could barely hold my eyes open, we were extremely tired. It was just myself and my daughter. There were Bugs in room so we left early. Literally in the room less than 5 hours. Then noticed that they charged my card an extra $25 for torn sheets which is absurd.

Perfect for having a convenient place while in town for a football weekend. Beds excellent. Pricey for the size of room but the going rate for the area
