It was okay

It was a place to stay. My room wasn’t able to lock though couldn't keep valuables in the room. The staff tried to instruct me to have the interior handle all the way up but even then it wasn’t locking consistently.

Moving Day

Stayed here ine night after packing a moving truck in 100 degree weather, prior to driving to AL the next day. I called to make sure the air was turned on in the room. The manager told me he would gladly go turn it on for me. The room was very comfortable when we arrive. Two of my daughters and their husbands stayed two nights. We all requested to be near each other and they were able to put us in three rooms side by side. Manager and wife were both very friendly.

Unexpected visit

I’ve stayed here many times every year to travel to Government Training Facility. Your staff came in our room at 0908hrs when check out was not until 11am. We had a do not disturb sign on our door. There was no pause or announcement upon opening the door after 1 knock. Your staff almost ate lead for such a careless and stupid act not to mention extremely rude and unprofessional. Rolling carts by doors back and forth in excessive passings is rude and does not provide any quality of sleep. The excuse staff stated was there was no vehicle in front of the room. That would be correct. It was so busy I had to park at the front because it was the closest space to my room. Hairs in the bathtub. Electrical wire taped light cord, no security bar on door, towels are thin as a rag and poor quality.

Nice but needs work

There was nothing exciting about the motel. The front desk staff was great. The room itself was clean but needed updating. We found that the pillow cases hadn't been changed so we bought new sheets and pillowcases for the bed not knowing whether the rest was cleaned.

Limited choices of hotels in the area. This one is outdated and management would not provide an extra pillow. They’re very strict with towels. Will only give you replacements for ones you have used. No extras. There was no facial tissue and only one small soap. The room was fairly clean but needed updating.

First of all pick the days inn next door and save your money. All pictures are outdated or fake and the place smells of broken dreams, and loneliness. Doors to the hotel lobby is locked and the Owner parks infront of the front door Breakfest isnt servered/made The staff is rude and charges you more then what booking was agreed upon and went into our room while we were away(not the cleaning staff) we were across the street when watched them go inside briefly and come back out and hang the do not disturb sgin. The walls drip with dirt in the bathroom when the shower is on The baseboards or horrifyingly dirty The AC unit was dirty and clogged Shingles on the roof dont match the picture. Not even the same roof. Horrible patch job Shower runs hot enough to give second degree burns. Toliet leaks and tub is stained Wall plugs coming out of the wall Cracked floor tiles Pro: Working shower that will melt the skin off a women Didnt see any bugs but did have a few bite marks Next to huddle house

Pricing is good. It's close to a few places to eat. Staff is friendly. The building is old and the rooms could use some updating. The biggest complaint was that when we got to the room at 330pm, the A/C was not on at all. So it was warm in the room, approximately 85°. So we turned in the A/C on and set at 65°, when we returned at 930pm. The room was cioler but not cold.
