The rooms were pretty dirty. Stains on the walls, we found a bug in our bed, hair in the tub etc. overpriced for the state the hotel is in. I wouldn’t eat the breakfast food because everything was so dirty. Nice staff but that was about the only positive thing I have to say sadly.

Absolutely loved our stay here! The front desk staff was friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. Our room was spotless, with clean surfaces and everything well-dusted. The location is super convenient—just minutes away from Walmart, Target, fast food options, and the highway. The kids had a blast in the pool, which was well-maintained and clean. I would definitely stay here again!
