This hotel is disgusting. Mold can be found in the rooms, which smell terrible. Dirty frayed towels, body fluids from the previous guest on the shower walls, filthy carpet, dead bugs on the windowsills and the coffee pot had dried out brown stains from previous use and not being washed.
We basically just needed a room for before and after a concert at Stuart's Opera House. It was just about right for that. The shower was nice, and the room was clean.
The room was just as I expected for the price. The AC worked great. The noise from the highway was not as loud as I expected considering how close it is to the hotel.
Before booking on Orbitz I called a female answered said I could have my ESA Dog as long as I had a letter from my doctor requiring my use of one as a disabled veteran. I then booked it and stayed two nights no problem then woke up to a male saying it don’t matter that I can’t have it but he will allow it this time. Literally all I did was stay long enough in the room to sleep and shower.
The room was as clean as a place like that could be I guess. Out of 4 nights they maybe attended to the room 2times. The attitude of the guy there was very off putting.

There’s so much to like about this property, it’s quiet, nice parking and very convenient place and they just updated their rooms a good place for a nite rest
Fabulous motel. Great, family-owned business. Room was clean, extremely comfortable, and the customer service was great. Wound up booking an extra night just because my first was so great. Tons of TV channels. and the on-site laundry is so convenient. I will definitely be back.
Nice clean room. Slight confusion at check-in. Requested 2 beds and they had me down for 1. Changed room to 2 beds in 2 minutes.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was very kind. Only problems was the bathroom shower curtain was stained and the surrounding guests either smoking or being noisy. Otherwise a amazing experience for $65 bucks.
Renovated room. Extremely bright and clean. Bed is very comfortable. Linens are fresh and new. Third time I have stayed here. Will stay again If I am in the area.
