The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and offers a basic motel experience with good value for money. Though the breakfast was simple, the immediate access to a nearby Denny's was a plus point. However, issues with the A/C, TV, and bathtub were noted during the stay.

My stay at this hotel was decent overall. The rooms were basic and not fancy, but they were clean and provided plenty of hot water. However, some areas like cracked tiles in the shower showed signs of wear. The lack of a shuttle to the airport was a bit inconvenient but considering I paid $112.00 a night, it was a reasonable deal.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, close to the airport and with ample parking, but the neighborhood seemed a bit questionable. The rooms were spacious but had a strong odor of smoke and could have been cleaner. The service, however, was a major letdown due to a frustrating encounter with the staff member who was unhelpful and even accused me of wrongdoing. The dining options were basic, leading me to opt for meals outside the hotel. Overall, a mixed experience with both positives and negatives.
