Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was ok, room was just ok, smelled really bad like mildew and wet.
The desk clerk was friendly and professional. The motel was older, but it was clean and well kept. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Continental breakfast was adequate.
The breakfast was not stocked two days in a row. When I spoke with worker about it on first day, she lied about timeframe when it was filled. Then got argumentative.
I ordered 2queen beds and ended up with 2full beds. 2towels of which 1 was shredded and not in good standing.
Fire alarm in room removed. The security chain lock was removed so there was no secondary locking system other than the key card lock. The fridge smelled like rotten milk. And the shower head was broken and only sprayed the center harsh spray.
Overall this was a horrible experience and we will not be using this hotel again when we go back to the area; which will be every 3 months.

Not at all satisfied!
The receptionist was not willing to accomadate our complaint. Our heater would not work
She came in the 1st time and tried to fix it. Then it didnt work again so we asked to be switched to a different room. She refused. She said you have to keep hitting the button several times until it works. After travelling all day
we didnt feel that we should have to do that. It eventually did work but it was the attitude she had. We were also ,I believe, the only car in the parking lot. We will not stay there again. Many choices in the neighborhood which would accomadate us with respect.

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed on the first floor near an outside door, and there were people in and out all night long. The door kept banging, and we heard loud conversations repeatedly.
The hotel was very dirty, my room had the window wide open so it was 30 degrees in there, missing multiple light bulbs, alarm clock broken, dirty stained pillow and sheets. I will never go there again and don’t recommend it.
The hotel itself is very nice and clean. My issue was very few rooms were rented out yet they put everyone right next door to each other. The walls are paper thin and I had to listen to a gentleman cough and vomit all night for 2 nights listen to his tv full blast and his alarm go off 2 mornings in a row at 5 am which he kept hitting snooze so it went off repeatedly.. i got pretty much zero sleep. Why aren't they spacing out paying customers to avoid this? I also went down for breakfast the first morning at 8:30 and all the eggs and pancakes were already bagged up and put in the refrigerator where one has to warm them up. Like what?? Breakfast is to be served until 10 and every hotel i have ever stayed at keeps their food out and hot until then, so Im assuming that if I had wanted a hot breakfast I better be there by 6 . The staff there are very courteous and friendly but I honestly do feel that they need to space guests out because of the paper thin walls and have that hot breakfast available until 10 so a guest doesn't have to take the time to warm up their breakfast. Luckily enough I didn't have to be somewhere right away but others might need to be and might not have had the luxury or time to do so.
If it wasn't for those two things I would have rated this as excellent.
The rooms are comfortable. I dont know if they do this in every room but our clock was unpugged and the lights by the bed unplugged also. My husband is 80 and I am 75. I crawled on floor to get them plugged back in. Could have called front desk to do this but why do you unplugged them
It was an older hotel that was probably amazing in its day. However, even though it was a bit run down, it was a great, affordable place to stay. Our room was clean and very comfortable.
The only downside of our stay was the breakfast. Very limited in choices but at least they had something.
