Parking is convenient. Great restaurant next door that serves wonderful Brunch as well as lunch/dinner. Also a Wffle House and Dennys less than a mile away. Plenty of convenient stores. The hotel is not five star. You get what you pay for. It’s clean enough for me. I didn’t see anything wrong with the cleanliness. Old yes and shabby. The King suite is huge and the room is separated, they need to purchase new TVs but I don’t go to the hotel to watch the Telly.

There’s a restaurant/bar literally right next door that’s actually delicious. They serve breakfast starting at 7AM. It’s nothing special, the typical cereals, sausage, eggs, waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, coffee and juice. Staff is really nice. My room was really clean, no complaints. For me it’s all I need in a hotel to shower sleep and have some peace. It is right by the highway and you can hear planes, but you’re at the airport. Staff is just typical folks, polite and accommodating. Didn’t run into a rude person at all. Parking is free and convenient. 24 hour places less than a mile a way like Dennys and Waffle House. Would definitely stay again.

This is an old Drury property and the exterior looks ok. The standards are very low and this property is very tired. They hold a $100.00 deposit for up to two weeks, which was a surprise. Spend the extra money further away from hobby. I’ve stayed at several and this area is in a sad state and unsafe!!!

Well being woken up at 7 am to people beating on walls for construction work was bad. The room was dirty and the main lightswitch for most the lights in the room did not work. 1 bedside lamp worked. Upon arrival when I told the front desk clerk about the non working lights and odd white gunk on surfaces in the room he said I would have to talk to a manager in the morning. At 7 am I was startled awake by what sounded like a whole construction crew trying to break down my wall. I went to the front desk about this and was told that there was nothing that could be done and if I didnt like it I could leave because they were not going to move me to another room.

Working its way up

Hotel is obviously in the midst of an upgrade. You can still find some items of the former named hotel around. TVs, bedding, carpet all newer upgrades. Breakfast needs some work, but change tales time and plenty of breakfast spots close by. Great Mexican restaurant next door.
