The staff was very professional and helpful. Housekeeping was excellent. The rooms were clean. Cons: Marijuana smell in the hallway and inside the rooms through the bathroom vents. Worn out carpet in the common areas. No elevator. Limited breakfast - cereal and muffins only.

There is no elevator - so if you have a lot of luggage or are elderly, be sure to request 1sr floor. Basic hotel, good for a quick in and out.

Conveniently located off 301. Staff were very helpful. Continental breakfast served from 6am to 10 am. Food area was neat and clean. The room was neat and clean. It was exactly what I liked, nice size bed, refrigerator , tv, desk and chair. Plenty of space to store clothes and items. Perfect for single person. No issues except the occasional dog barking. I felt it wasn’t necessary to complain. I have dog at him and they do bark. Otherwise it’s great for a quick stopover without gym or swimming pool which I never used before.

Room was clean and friendly staff but breakfast consisted of only dry cereal, instant oatmeal and store bought bagels and small muffins. Coffee was too strong to drink and there was only 1 table with 4 chairs in the breakfast area (which was taken). We went elsewhere for breakfast.

The outside needs work, although the inside of the hotel is really nice. The room was very comfortable and very inviting. It's just the outside unfortunately makes it look unappealing at first until you pass the doors.

I was greeted warmly by front desk. Very friendly Someone knocked on my door around or after midnite. Woke from a sound sleep. The alarm clock in the room was set to 3:15 am!!!!!!! again waking me from sleep. Your offerings for breakfast were quite sad. No oatmeal, no waffle maker, cereals tasted and appeared to be there for years. Your coffee was the worst!
- 2/5
The room was terrible. Had a strong, unpleasant odor, looked like it was painted by an angry 6 year old and the furniture looked like somebody put it in the room at the last minute. It was the kind of room where you keep a light on and check the bedding carefully beforehand. My room was at the top of the stairs (no elevator, apparently), unfortunately there were two crackheads in the next room playing loud music until 5 am or so. The free breakfast was a joke. After reviewing what little was available, I settled for McDonalds on my way to my next stop. I would not stay there again.

The location was perfect. The rooms were nice. The quality of the breakfast was subpar at best. It was just a sampling of instant products. The hot water was not even hot enough to cook the packet of oatmeal. There is no elevator so it required two trips to carry our luggage up the stairs, which were disgustingly filthy. It looks as if the carpet on the stairs had never been cleaned. This is not what we expected for a property associated with the Hilton brand.

The best thing this hotel had was the manager on duty named Mary. Everything else was a nightmare. Bed bugs, power went out for hours, bad area, cold coffee, no clean towels in the morning, I mean the list goes on. The manager helped as much as she could. If it wasn’t for her I would probably be calling a lawyer how bad I am bit by bedbugs.

Overall great We are in town for work and planned on staying here for 2 to 3 months. Came out togo to work Friday morning and my work truck was broken into. Roughly $3000 in damages to my truck . Staff said they didnt have cameras were my truck was parked. For a hilton hotel there should be a 360 of cameras around complete building. Now im stuck out of pocket to repair the truck.

Basic hotel. Reminded me of an indoor motel. It was clean, affordable and close to our destination. Its a bare minimum place. We were 2 guest. The bathroom was missing soap but they gave me some. There was only shampoo, bodywash and lotion attached to the walls. Bed wasn't bad but the pillows so thin. Breakfast was also very basic, just a small snack or something to get you out the door if you're in a rush.

The room was clean & nice enough but the people in the room next to us were screaming and fighting late into the night, even after I called the front desk and reported it. I have PTSD so it was very triggering and my husband and I were not able to sleep. They were so loud, the TV didn’t drown out the noise. Day staff was sweet and kind but not so impressed with night staff.

Trust me, you’re getting what you pay for… No frills whatsoever and a no-tell motel with a coat of paint on it and some new dime store furniture that you would find in furnished college dorm rooms. We had a connecting room to another room and the security provided between those rooms was two weak folding catch bolts screwed into the finishing wood finish. However, the door itself wouldn’t close completely as it was bent into a half moon shape, and only the catch bolt held it closed while the top and bottom didn’t meet the threshold of the door frame. Last thing… It’s not exactly a comforting site to check into your hotel and find a deputy sheriff posted in a little alcove watching people check in and check out. One positive note the room was pretty clean, so if you can get past the stench of a weed in the hallways and are fortune enough to get a room where the door is actually secure, it’s tolerable for $87.
