Great value for the price! We will come back and stay here again.
I would love to give this place 5 stars but there were a couple of items that prevent that for me I would give it 4.5 stars though if Yelp would allow me to.
Lots of positives:
* Clean rooms (I could smell the clean in the sheets).
* No strange smell in room. Many places have rooms with a mustiness smell, but not here.
* The beds were clean and comfortable, but (Negative) squeaked whenever you moved.
* Quiet. Even though it is pet friendly (which we like) , and low cost, we didn't hear a thing;
* Fan/heater worked great. We like to have a fan run constantly to help drown out any potential outside nose, and most places don't allow the fan to actually run at a constant speed, or without big noises going on and off when the heating or cooling engages. Here was no problem. It ran constantly. It held the room temperature perfectly.
* Low Cost. They advertised $92 for the night and we were able to save another 20% by booking thru Expedia. Unfortunately when we called the hotel directly first to see if they'd beat or at least match the Expedia price (to book directly thru them), they were not able to, so we had to do it thru Expedia, which worked just fine.
* Very friendly staff.
* Great location, just off of I-35. BUT you do need to drive thru the rear of a large truck stop to get there (it's worth it). Office was on the far side.
* Big Parking spaces, and you could pull up right next to your room.
* Pet Friendly, and they don't charge extra for it. We like both points as we often travel with our small dogs. And the rooms did not smell.
* Warm Breakfast. Freshly made pancakes. Scrambled eggs, sausages, biscuits and gravy, boiled eggs, plus the other regular stuff.
Negatives:
* Squeaky beds. The beds were clean and comfortable! But the springs squeaked ANY time you moved. The mattress is on top of a metal base spring which unfortunately squeaks easily.
* The metal base bed frame has metal legs at the corner edges and at the middle edges, so I stubbed my toes on them couple of times. Conventional frames have their legs recessed so this doesn't happen.
* The blanket was very thin. They had a sheet, thin blanket, and then another thin blanket on top of that (I'm sure for easier and sanitary cleaning). But it was very light. It could have used a thicker blanket or comforter. And the blanket portion was a bit short sheeted.
* Strange way to get there. You had to drive through another businesses parking lot to get there. This is not a big deal, but I wasn't expecting it.
* Although the room was clean, the bathroom could have used an extra bit of attention. Hard water stains on sink, toilet could have been a bit better cleaned, and the top wall (between 6 and 8 feet had spots on them). Still clean over all, but when you looked a bit closer, you saw missed stuff.
* Coffee is from instant coffee machine dispenser. Not the best strength or tasting coffee but it is free.
We will gladly come here again! Great value for the price. I think we will just ask for an extra blanket when we check in next time. read more
