• It was a good price and in a pretty good location.
• You get a decent room for the price. Nothing bad really stuck out to me.

“It did the trick. It was right in the middle of everything we were going to do on this trip. The price was good, the room was just fine, and it served its purpose. I was satisfied with the place, and would recommend it for the budget-minded traveler.”

• Price.
  
• Continental breakfast; cleanliness of carpet and bathroom.

“Nice location. About what you would expect for the price. Nice big refrigerator for a room that size. Housekeeping staff did not take tips. Bring slippers. The floor and carpet were very grimy.”

• Location.

“It's almost exactly what I expected for the money an aging, dated, slightly musty-smelling hotel room. My only real complaint: After driving into town in 95 degree weather, I looked forward to checking into a nice, cool hotel room. Upon entering the room, a blast of even hotter air hit me. The temperature in the room must have been approaching 100 degrees. Would have been really nice if the air conditioner had been turned on prior.”

• Very clean, very nice!

“This hotel was conveniently located, very clean, and very nice! Only complaint was it was close to railroad tracks.”

• Price.
• Could have been cleaner.

“It was in a convenient location, but the room could have been cleaner; it looked like a vacuum had not been used behind furniture in quite some time. The refrigerator did not work and smelled like old spoiled milk. The AC shut off and turned on frequently, intermittently. Would not recommend.”

• Location, location, location - - near everything.
• Upon arrival room had an odor.

“The hotel was centrally located for all tours, activities and restaurants (to include shopping areas). However, the complex seems to need an upgrade to the room, curtains, bedding & irons. Particularly, the iron in our room didn't work without having water run out of it.”

• Rooms shabby. Carpet old and wallpaper falling off.

“Booked this room because of location. Rooms need to be updated. Carpet old and wallpaper taped to wall in places.”

• Was not clean, very rundown, cheap amenities.

“It was cheaply furnished, the sink was stopped up, the disposal did not work, the beds were uncomfortable and it was a small crowded room. The bathtub was so small we could not sit in it (not that we would have) it was not clean.”

• The front desk was friendly.
• Nasty carpet, dried urine on the toilet when we got in the room.

“Looks nice from the outside, looks nice on the website. deceiving. the carpet was so dirty the ace bandage on my foot was filthy from a trip to the bathroom. the sheets had perma-stains on them and I am pretty sure there was dried feces on the wall behind the door. we will NEVER stay there again.”
