The WORST hotel/experience in 50 yrs of traveling!

We did not stay at this hotel due to the deceptive practices of the owner and the deplorable condition of the assigned room. Upon arrival, the owner was absent, only appearing after a ten-minute wait and a direct phone call. He then processed a deposit – an amount significantly higher than deposits at three other hotels in the vicinity. Crucially, after securing my payment and ID, he informed me the original room was unavailable and was giving us a room with three king size beds. It was only after this transaction was complete that he revealed the room's "eco-friendly" feature: no toilet paper, only a bidet. This critical detail was never disclosed prior to booking or payment, and we would never have booked under such conditions. The room provided was entirely unsuitable: * It contained three king beds, crammed so tightly that less than a foot separated them, making movement nearly impossible. * A large refrigerator obstructed what little walking space remained. * The air conditioning unit had a broken on/off button, rendering it unusable. When confronted, the owner admitted no other rooms were available. We immediately decided not to stay. Despite acknowledging our position, he flatly refused a direct refund, directing us to Hotels.com. Hotels.com's subsequent attempt to secure our refund was rejected by the owner. This entire experience was highly unsatisfactory and costly due to the owner's misrepresentation and refusal to refund.

Worst Place Ever

The service was terrible and the rooms looked horrendous, as well as they didn't supply toilet paper, shampoo or any necessities, I would not recommend this place to anyone ever.

The location was in the center of town and close to restaurants and shopping. The property was very old and repairs were only surface level. Old flooring, old AC unit, new sink in bathroom but old mirror with stickers on it. Holes in the walls not repaired. Dirty walls. Not very clean. Black hair on walls, in shower, on hair dryer handle. Bathroom door could not be closed. Tiles missing on shower floor. Would not recommend this place.

No toilet paper. No return. I've probably stayed at the property over 10 times. Now they have decided to "go green" and removed all toilet paper from the rooms and installed kitchen sprayer type bidets. I previously dealt with the soap and shampoo dispensers that are often underfilled, barely dispense and don't lather, choosing to overlook them as the beds are the most comfortable in town for a cheap motel. After trying to akwardly maneuver to clean with a kitchen sprayer (bidet) and getting more water on the wall than in the toilet, I can only imagine some of the unmentionable that must be getting sprayed around the bathroom. Couple that with the fact that there is no disposable option to dry after cleaning, and I second guess using the black "makeup remover" wash clothes to shower with. Overall, the staff is good, the rooms are decently clean, and the beds are comfortable for a cheap motel, but you should've have to bring your own TP. If you do decide to stay here, Ace Hardware across the street will sell you a 4 pack of Charmin for about $13.

The price seemed to be about right for a two star motel. The room had too many big chairs and pieces of old furniture. Had a coffee pot but no place to plug it in so I had to put in my the bed where the outlet was. Pillow smelled like whoever used it last. People that worked there seemed nice. Front desk said it was a "green motel" so no toilet paper. I assume that was to save money. They had a hose hooked up to the toilet instead. Seemed a little gross to touch it to clean yourself after others have used it. I think it had potential to be great place.

This motel ended up being in a downtown run down area. The room was very old and the furniture was old and not in the best condition, except for the bed which was very comfortable. The coffee maker could not be plugged in where it sat. Tried to plug it in in the bathroom and it blew most of the power in the room. The office was not open at 7am for breakfast as they said it would be, so ended up leaving without any breakfast or being able to tell them about the power. We would choose to not stay here again.

Check-in was terrible. No one was at the front desk, so over time I range the bell a total of 4 times before I finally called their phone, then a guy popped out from another room to answer it. Got checked in, went to my room, key didn't work. So I go back and the front desk is vacant again.....I ring the bell another 4 times in total while I wait, end up calling the phone again, and he finally pops out. He puts me in another room instead of just fixing my key for some odd reason. Well the new room had 3 Double beds packed into this little room.....but I'd paid for 1 King bed. So I call again instead of going back to an empty front desk, doesn't answer, so I call right back and he answers then gives excuses why I should infact be happier with the new room. He finally agreed to just fix the other key to the room I'd paid for, so I go over there, and surprise, he'd put me in a room with 2 Queen beds instead of the 1 King. Told him there were 2 King rooms left when I booked, and he said that one had plumming issues, the other he gave to someone else. UNREAL. Later, I find that the toilet seat is gross cuz it never got cleaned, and the shower has clumps of hair on the ground and just hair all over, so just disgusting, I didn't want to use the toilet or the shower. Bad experience to say the least. This place has potential to be a great stop for the low price I paid, but for my experience it sucked.

Great price, comfortable room

It is on a busy intersection with lots of traffic, so there is much noise from the street. When I checked in and got to my room, I wanted to get ice for a drink, and the ice bucket appeared to have been used as a trash can previously and hadn’t been cleaned; when I brought it to the staff’s attention, they replaced it, but unlike other hotels, they do not use a plastic liner (bag), so the ice goes directly into the bucket which is a bit disconcerting. When I went to get ice which was from a new ice machine, the room’s floor was dirty with some sort of debris/dirt/substance which was a bit disconcerting as well. The staff has been very friendly and accommodating, and the bed seems very comfortable although I haven’t slept in the room yet. One more item that has been common in other hotels and motels that is lacking is hand soap (bar or liquid); I needed to wash my hands twice, and had to use the body wash from the shower. The towels (2) were another interesting element; they were both too small al which required me to use both to dry off after a shower, and one was pretty thin from what appeared was heavy use. The room is quaint and doesn’t have a lot of empty, wasted space; tight would be a good description. Finally, the TV was the final item I will address because with a season of playoffs (NBA/NHL), I was hopeful to watch some games, but the TV (DirecTV) didn’t have a guide of channels so I had to do a ‘Smart Search’ to find programs, but nothing was available.

Took about 10 min to get someone up to the front to check us in. Sheets were stained- had to brush them off to make sure they weren't bugs. Carpet was not vacuumed. There wasn't any soap- not even in the hand soap dispenser. Trash can nor bag was provided. A full size refrigerator was not the cleanest. The shower needed attention- cleanliness, & maintenance-the shower valve was so loose couldn't adjust the temperature with ease. When I got out of the shower and walked into the bedroom, I sat on the bed to put lotion on my feet, and the bottom of my feet were black again! The television didn't work.
