SERVICE DOG HANDLERS BEWARE! I am a dog trainer and travel with a task trained service dog. Despite giving the hotel the courtesy of a heads up weeks prior, they refused to allow me to stay without presenting phony paperwork and their vest. Any legitimate handler knows that per the ADA, there is no certificate or registration required of a service dog and they don’t have to wear special gear. I spent over an hour talking with Expedia who was also talking to the manager and they expected me to find somewhere else to stay at 10pm on a Friday. The staff refused to be educated despite being pointed towards the ADA info page on service animals. I did end up showing them my dog’s gear just to get inside (I was only staying for one night and just needed somewhere to sleep!) and reported them to the ADA after. Ironically I saw another guest with an ill behaved small dog the next morning. The price was good but my room smelled, bathroom was dirty and wifi was weak.

Far and away the worst motel, not just that I've ever stayed in, but that I've ever seen. It was so bad that my partner had a panic attack and we had to get a room somewhere else, wasting hundreds of dollars. It was so disgusting we almost slept in the car.

I was robbed.

I came back one night from work to discover I had been robbed. Cell phone charger, headphones, clothing, even food from my refrigerator. Of course I notified the manager and she said that she would check with her housekeeper. The housekeeper actually had the audacity to say that she noticed that I left my door open all the time even when I left for work which is ridiculous on the face of it. Seeing that I wasn't going to get anywhere with the manager, I called the police and this infuriated the manager to no end. She actually told me that I couldn't stay there anymore ( like I was going to anyway ). There is a camera pointed right at my room and several others but for some reason the manager refused to even look at it. Baffling. Needless to say I was very happy and relieved when I left. If you value your personal safety, I would definitely not recommend you stay there.
