Great overnight stay

Room was clean, beds comfortable, good breakfast! Parking lot well lit. Night desk person seemed a bit ruffled and also didn’t give much info, where rooms are, breakfast times etc. Breakfast was really good and hot. The only complaint would be the noise of people hanging outside… you can hear them talking etc, which isn’t the motel’s fault, but maybe signs could be put up to let people know everyone can hear every word they say lol We just stayed an overnight traveling, would stay here again for an overnight.

The rooms had exterior doors and our door was broken, it was almost unable to lock and when shut there was a 1/2 inch gap on 3 sides!. The room had bare outlets, non working lighting, broken remote for TV . I was advised that if I wanted another room, it would be where they were painting. We didn't stay our 2nd night.

I arrived at the hotel a little after midnight to a sign on the door saying to call the night manager. I got a busy tone when I called and even a rep from the national number couldn't get a hold of anyone. In the end, I waited 30 minutes before being told there wasn't anything they could do and I haf to book a second hotel. Your manager refused to provide me a refund. Horrible customer service!

Delightfully surprised

We stayed here as a last minute reservation. We were tired and just wanted a place to stop. We were shocked how updated and comfortable the room was. Clean. Quiet. Everything you could want!!!

The lady working in the front desk was really rude. Waited a very long time for our room to be ready and then ended up not staying asked for a refund and was never given one.

The room was clean, bed comfortable and breakfast good. This hotel looks to be a place where construction workers stay.

When I walked in to check in I was not welcomed. The lady behind the desk didn’t greet me or smile at me. She shuffled around at the desk for a minute and then looked at me and said “drivers liscence.” And held out her hand. I got checked in but it wasn’t welcoming at all. When we stepped into our room it smelled horrible. The entire carpeted area between the air conditioner at the window and our bed was wet. It was disgusting. In the morning, there was no one at the desk to report the issue to. The condition of the room made it hard to sleep well and we are exhausted from not getting a good nights sleep and being grossed out by the smell and the room’s condition. The breakfast was the only decent piece of our stay. It had good variety and the breakfast area was nice. We will not be staying here again and would not recommend this hotel to any friends or family.

Noisy N word using Upstairs Neighbors

The people above us did not respect quiet hours. I woke up to them shouting the N word at 4am. They were stomping all over and slamming doors at 4am. I was just trying to get some sleep during the quiet hours. The mattress was so uncomfortable it was the worst night of sleep in my life.
