I liked being about to check in a little sooner due to bad weather and I needed to prop my foot due to my ankle being broken. I didn't like that I had reserved king bed room and got 2 double beds.

Generally dirty. The front door sweep had been chewed through by rodents (?). Crust on bathroom floor tile. Toilet leak? Some type of scented cleaner concealing God only knows what odor. Had to walk around entire building to access pool as access through lobby was closed and nearly uninhabitable from cleaner smell.. Leering Indian guy in housekeeping next door to our room. Would not accomodate 2 hour early check in although entire property was empty. Big spot on carpet immediately inside door.

This stay was example of “ you get what you pay for.” Easy and friendly check in. Property looks great and well maintained from a distance. Beautiful flowers, fountain, and koi pond. Pool looked well maintained and other guests were enjoying it. Our original room smelled so strong— a mix of mold, dust, and super strong cleaning chemicals. We tried to air it out, but the windows had no screens and my attempt to open a super dirty window resulted in a pinched finger. We went to dinner and decided to ask for a room change when we came back. No problem to change, and the new room only smelled of cleaner, so we settled in. Lots of noise from other guests, but it was Saturday night, so we dealt with it. Shower was stained and broken down, so we slept and checked out as early as possible. That said, it was a third of the price of my usual Marriott brand in the same town.

We had to leave property a day early because we f shoulders,necks and backs were hurting really bad. They advertise breakfast but there’s nothing to eat. The man we talked to the morning of the second of November said he was sorry and said he would give us a refund if he could . There was no reason for him to take our money with those conditions

A Good Basic Motel

This is a modest property. Not fancy at all. But it was clean, comfortable, and secure, which is exactly what I was looking for. Good location with several dining options within walking distance.

Reserved 2 rooms. They gave us one on second floor ans one in back of motel. Very dirty. Dead bugs on windowsill, mold in bathtub. We didn't stay because we were afraid of bed bugs. This place is a dirty dump.

Shower had no water pressure. Bath tub was discussing. No soap asked manager for extra towels and he would not give us any. Been traveling for the last 3 years and this was the worst experience I have had. Only had coffee for one cup and housekeeping said they did not have any more.
