Great place to stay !

The host was super nice and accomodated our needs/request for an extension cord and help to print something. The beds were super comfortable and clean. I was especially grateful for the hot water since many places don't have that. The location is close to restaurants and stores.

Quick sleep

It was a small quaint room. We stopped to sleep for the night. So it met our needs. But the toilet seat was loose. It was a quiet place.

The staff were very helpful, friendly and easily accessible. The room had a nice size refrigerator and a microwave. There was an available four slice toaster, microwave and ice maker in the office, there was also a coffee machine but it was out of order. The price was very affordable.

Extremely dated, in need of maintenance and serious upgrades This would make a great boutique hotel if they would put $$ and effort into it. Room was clean in comparison to the overall condition . Front desk/office was not open as posted.

The bathroom sink leaked terribly, the bed had a LIVE spider under the comforter and there were cigarette burn marks in the blankets. Lady at the front desk was nice though. This is definitely a one night stay place if you need something cheap for the night.

The place where I stayed was not clean those cracks the Walls bathroom doors broke the shelf in the bathroom was pitiful. I would not recommend that motel for anybody. I guarantee you I checked out earlier than planned. I travel with Expedia I would not recommend them to my worst friend worst enemy or anybody or family. This place is not fit for a dog seem to think of this. There was a dog next-door to barked all night long. You asked for the truth you have the truth thank you very much for your time. Bye.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good: Hot water in the shower, TV worked, relatively warm in the room. Bad: Manager left us outside in the freezing cold to get checked in (bizzaro), asked for a non-smoking room but she thought I said smoking room. She said go ahead and smoke everyone else does. I corrected her and she said, no you have a non-smoking room, the others are smoking room - did a poor job of lying. Placed needed some maintenance.
