Ok
The bedding had holes, the mattress had a spring on the bed that was pressing against my back and sides. We had teenage/young adults banging on the door next to us acting like police around 1:30 am running up and down all the rooms being loud and rude. We could not even connect to the wifi.

They charge you extra to use your card,so the total price dont reflect that. Bring cash. Oyher than that,nice staff good place if you just need a room. Also,I didnt have the extra money for them to charge my card so they let me do it without charging me,very nice staff.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! The room was dirty (beds were dirty and used facecloth in the bathroom). The room smelt so strong of air freshner we could taste it! My family is sensitive to smells and we could not stay in the room because of the overall condtion/smell. When we went to discuss with owner she acted inconvienced by servicing us because she was sleeping and we woke her up. We were told no other rooms were available so i asked if we could have a partial refund because we couldnt stay in the room becauee of its state, she refused. We left and stayed at the motel across the road which was actually clean and has amazing customer service. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. Also, the pool is not clean.

Nothing fancy but the neighbors are nice and front office was easy to work with for check in. Don't expect anything extra here but if you just need a place to stay for the night and don't plan on being there much it's perfect. Internet is lacking some but fine for phone use just not streaming on Xbox. Great channels though if you enjoy tv before bed.

I called the property to inform them I would be arriving at 6pm. When I arrived, they had given my room away. I was denied entry, and had to find a room elsewhere.
