They tell you no smoking but the hallways smell terrible, an ash tray. The room was okay. The bathroom, gross. There was hair left over from the last however many people. Other peoples hygine products were left on top of the walk-in shower. The water was luke warm, bathroom sink and shower.

2/10 Poor

Do not recommend!

I choose to stay here because of the price and other comment reviews were decent. This is an older motel with some updates. Which was not the issue. When we entered our room the floor was sticky. So everywhere we walked our shoes were sticking to the floor. The bathroom door had no door knob. The night stands were dusty and one even a had what looked like chip crumbs. The restaurant /bar next door played very loud music most of the night and also had a DJ. Truthfully I'm still shocked we stayed but it was non refundable so we stuck it out one night of 2. Got up early the next morning, didn't even shower and check out. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Hampton Inn just up the road.

This was a perfect overnight stop for me! Hot shower, comfortable bed, and a good nights rest as a solo traveler!

Staying here for work, has been relatively quiet. Staff is freindly and courteous, building and grounds are clean. Room is spacious and beds are comfortable.

2/10 Poor

Filthy Poorly Maintained Property

The first I was assigned had full trash cans and dirty towels on the bathoom floor. I went to the front desk to request a different room, which was provided. The room was stifling. No AC had been left on. The door didn’t close tightly and the jam was cracked. The floors were dirty and the shower so nasty I didn't use it. I brought in my own pillow and blanket and dealt with it. Pretty hypocritical for them to charge me a pet fee for my dog when the room was a disaster to begin with. When I went to check out I thought to get my "free" cup of coffee. The coffee maker was gross and no cups. I guess I dodged what was probably horrible coffee.
Tabatha, 1-night trip

Old building, lots of damage and wear, shower was gross with bits crumbling, heater did not work in room.

Not a bad place for the price. If you are looking for a place to sleep for the night with no bells and whistles, this will work!
Jared, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Avoid if possible

Dirty room, bathroom probably wasn't up to code (creative shower), door not very secure, broken windows and doors through out, never got hot water in the shower
Ronald, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Shower was definitely the worse thing about the room. It was alright but I suggest just paying the extra 20 or so bucks and you can get a much nicer room close by
Jude, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Lady at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. Parts of the building was under construction was the only complaints. A nice Restaurant was in walking distance.
Tracy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. It looks like they are updating the rest of the property, our room was already updated. It was just noisy with the other guests.
