Check-in was quick and easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good. Room was ok, but the bed mattress was a little too firm for my liking. Didn't sleep well due to how hard the bed was. Toilet didn't get cleaned very well prior to our arrival. Sink faucet would easily spray water up out of the sink and onto everything, including me. Noise levels were light to moderate from the outside traffic as our room faced the road.
Nice clean room. Friendly staff. Safe while traveling alone.
We had a great stay over the weekend. Positives were very good hot breakfast- in our case sausage patties, fried potatoes and waffles ( with Mrs Butterworth’s syrup)(very tasty). Having hotel food that tastes this good is rare. Good cereal selections with milk & coffee and fresh fruit. Room was clean with bathroom with nice towels and great counter space. WiFi and TV (direct TV) worked well. Bathroom had no towel racks which was a little odd - not a major complaint. Desk with chair for computer was comfortable and spacious. Refrigerator with freezer worked well - many hotels have refrigerator only. Ice maker on our floor worked efficiently. Everything functioned properly which was appreciated. Free baked cookies at times at front desk. Helpful staff & a good value.
The room was clean and nicely maintained, offering a comfortable stay at a budget friendly price. The location is very convenient, located near by a Tesla charger. The hotel also includes great amenities which is great for short and extended stays.
Stayed at this hotel while in town for the GLVC baseball tournament. The staff was very nice and accommodating. I had an issue with the first room they gave me, but they quickly found me a new room. My room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was the usual offering and was fine. I appreciate the cookies they offer each afternoon. I would stay here again if I am in the area.
Alliah was great. She got us away from a car alarm outside our window by promptly moving us to the other side of the building. Carpet in stairs and halls smell like last year’s breakfast. Rooms are in good shape.
We stopped here for an overnight during a long road trip. This hotel was just what we needed for a recharge — main areas and our room were truly clean, the breakfast was nice, and the hotel is located in an area that feels safe and also has several food options within walking distance. When we roadtrip through the area again, we’ll likely be stopping here.
Rooms were spacious, clean and reasonably priced. Breakfast was just ok, but free
Off I-57, this unassuming hotel across the street from fast-food eateries is a 5-minute walk from baseball games at Rent One Park and 13-minute walk from Kokopelli Golf Club.
