This place is old. The furniture was old, worn, broken, scratched, etc. Two lights wouldn't turn on and the tv remote wouldn't work. The floors were very dirty and there was someone elses hair in the tub drain. The breakfast consisted of waffles or plain bread or cereal. No protein.

Close to knotts

Check in was quick and front desk worker was very nice. The rooms looked like they stopped mid renovation- there was an accent wall painted orange and wood looking floors however the bath tub had huge cracks towards the front and had to be careful where you stood as it was soft and would push in with weight. Breakfast was ok - waffle station, fruit loops or Raisin Bran I believe, toast, and juice machine with orange or apple juice. We stopped for fruit and protein after check out but overall it was a decent place still and close to knotts with an affordable rate.

The staff was friendly and courteous. The bed was comfortable and clean. The drawers had crumbs or small debris in them. One lamp did not work. Other than that it was great.

The staff was very nice and helpful. But as soon as I walked in the room I was greeted by a very unpleasant smell. Furniture was all distressed, the floor was dirty, and the ac also had a weird smell(filters need to be changed?)

Not very clean, needs to be upgraded, 3 towels for 4 people. Breakfast was very limited, juice machine out of order, room keys weren't properly working. Had to keep getting the keys, re-scanned. Had to pull on the handle in order for key to work. Overall, needs proper maintenence. Staff was nice though.

Property was not having working lights, front door very hard to close, restroom with no water from the wash basin. We were offered another room which was not ready. Then again offered another room which was having cigarette burn on the blanket and room with no network so we asked to give back the first offered room. During this change or from the property we lost one lugagge. When we reported the missing luggage but staff gave no importance. We requested to view CCTV but staff has no access only Owner has which we waited overnight and at last when we saw nothing happening we reported to police.

Go somewhere else

I should’ve read the reviews on Google first. This motel is very dated. The house keeping was minimal. The room smelled like some one urinated on the floor. Hot tub broken. Breakfast disappointing. I’m not a high class person, but this place is very low class.

I would not necessarily recommend this property. I felt deceived by the pictures on the site. The property needs better maintenance and a overall upgrade to make the stay more enjoyable. Staff was nice and everything at the front desk went smoothly.
