Cheap stay

The staff was polite and cared. The hotel reeked of smoke. We had a non smoking room but it still smelled. When we told the staff of the awful smell they responded that the whole hotel will be going smoke free. I will not stay there again.

Just what I needed

I was in town for a conference, so wasn't spending a lot of time at the room/hotel. Needed a place to stay and that was about it. Rooms are fairly simple but are always clean and well kept. If you want a place to take the family for a "getaway" weekend, don't stay here. If you just need "a room", this is perfect

Good Value for the Cost

I requested a non-smoking, handicapped accessible room. When I arrived, I was assigned a smoking accessible room. When I requested non-smoking, my request was treated nicely. However, when I went to the room, it wasn't a handicapped room. I was tired and didn't want to travel back downstairs three floors (and I should have checked about accessibility while at check in) so I just spent the night in the room - which was clean and quiet. I was not able to use the shower the next morning, but I made do.

not what I was expecting...

My husband and I were needing a room for a wedding that we were attending, and I booked this hotel based on the fact that I have stayed at a Micro-tel in the past and had no problems. Really my only complaints are was that the shower was not the cleanest, our non-smoking room smelled like smoke, and the bed was VERY hard! I had a hard time sleeping and finally gave up and waited for breakfast to start. They had a typical, but good selection for the complimentary breakfast, the staff that we came across was great. The hotel was really easy to find, and is really close to the highway, which is what we needed for our trip.

I was very impressed. Nice and clean.

I travelled with my dog, and this was one of the best rooms I have ever stayed in. I didn't have to worry about him getting fleas.

Over-air-freshened

This is a nice, conveniently located hotel. The receptionists were helpful, and the room was clean. However, they use air freshener that is over-powering for someone with allergies. I almost had to leave. If you have non-sensitive lungs, it would be a fine place to stay; otherwise, go somewhere else.
