Good for what I needed

I was doing a long drive back to Canada. This place just ended up being in the area I wanted to stop and get some sleep, was right off the main highway so was convenient to stop at. Room was decent, a little older looking, clean tho. Across the street from a Burger King and Starbucks. Also a gas station.

The lights in the hallway were not working. When I called to ask about it I was told they were working on it but if we wanted to leave we could because they didn’t need the revenue. So we left.

We did enjoy the room but it was a bit outdated compared to the online pictures. Parking was ok as it is gated from the surrounding area which isn't the best. It's right off the Interstate too so traffic can be a bit loud at times. Staff was welcoming.

The walls were paper thin. I heard someone blowing his nose in the shower from the hallway. There's no avoiding the noise from the Interstate. There are so many better places.
