Older motel, very noisy location, Breakfast was coffee, juice, make a waffle, cornflakes and cheerios. Went out for breakfast. No seal under door, bugs in room, not unusual with outside entrance rooms. Price was reasonable so it met my needs for sleep. Floor sticky. Good for a quick simple stay. Bed okay, linens clean. Nothing special - quick, easy and convenient location. Price was fair all considered.

While the staff was professional and they kept the property decent, the fact that Expedia couldn't reach the owner of the site to offer a refund for the days I didn't spend there was what warranted this rating. Otherwise, a decent, affordable stay.

David

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was adequate but very run down. Breakfast was very limited and not good. Felt unsafe, but primarily due to being awakened at 7a by other guest banging on the door and threatening to shoot us through the wall if we didn’t stop tapping on the wall (we were asleep in have no understanding of the tapping)

Should of taken a look via street view prior to booking. Sketchy place. Non smoker room had that old smoker room smell. Room sure didn’t look updated as picture in the description. Bonus: mildew on the ceiling & walls in the bathroom was a nice touch. We didn’t even bother to eat breakfast at this place.
