Breakfast was the worst I've ever seen. White bread only for toast but no bagels, jelly or cream cheese. They were out of coffee so I had to go buy some nearby. No fruit or yogurt. Worn out carpets. Terrible

When you arrive the first thing you'll notice is the smell. Right when you walk in it smells like smoke. TV didn't work and they couldn't fix the issue nor offer a solution. Maybe bring in another TV, have me switch rooms? Restroom was very small, the door couldn't fully open because it kept hitting the shower rod. The AC unit wouldn't allow me to turn on the fan mode which would of helped drown out the cars on the highway and the couple fighting in the hotel parking lot across from us. Night clerks staff was very engaging and friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Biggest issue i had was I'm disabled and have difficulty climbing stairs. They gave me a 2nd floor room. No elevator and the would not change me to the first floor. Made no effort to accommodate my disability, the lady just laughed and said it's not bad, i can do it. I literally almost passed out by the time i got my luggage and me to the room. Prepaid the room so i was told no refunds. Second issue they required a credit card to charge a $100 deposit to but i was told it would be refunded upon check out. 2 days later no refund. Called and was told they never charged my card (it's on my card statement), then told me they refunded to the wrong customer, then they told me it was refunded yesterday but it might take a few days to show up. If i had known about the deposit ahead of time I'd never booked a room. Place is run down with peeling paint , linens were stained and dirty looking, the advertised pool and spa wasn't available. Overall about the worst motel experiance I've ever had.

The place is the dirtiest motel I’ve ever stayed at. There were years if soap scum in the sink in the bathroom. The shower curtain had a bunch of globs of dried nasty stuff all over it and the floor of the shower/bath was beyond filty with years of nastiness.

Lobby is very nicely decorated, as are the rooms. Outdoor property (parking lot) is pretty small, the bathroom is a little dirty in nooks and crannies. But overall, it’s decent for the price.

Property was above average for me. Clean, interior seemed well maintained, and modernized a bit. One issue I had was the height of the shower head. It was ridiculously low. And the faucet handle was weak. Should be replaced.

Well suited for us and the dog. Only negative was the quality of the breakfast. Even the coffee was laughably weak and cold. Just assume that they do not offer breakfast.

Disliked: Room comfort

Not the best.

I was here visiting family and was told I could not have any guests for any reason I got a room that had a pool specifically so my nieces could swim and stay with me for a couple hours and have some room service. I couldn't do any of that. If you're here on business I guess it would be okay it was semi clean. But if you're here for family fun I suggest somewhere else.
