Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was in a seedy part of town. There were homeless people milling all about the hotel and parking area. The room was extremely dirty. There were stains on the bed covering, dirt on the floor, not our hair in tub and on floor, and the smell was horrific. My son and I didn’t feel comfortable or safe. We stayed 5 minutes and left. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL.

Overall a decent, two-night stay. Reserved an upgraded king room with jacuzzi tub but the drain stop wouldn’t work so I couldn’t use it.

The room I was given was close to the door to enter from parking. The room was large and clean. The property is dated, but they have updated a lot. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

The manager was friendly when we arrived. It was unexpected that the bathroom wasn't fully enclosed. There was a window in the shower that had no glass so we had to close two curtains when we showered. We found mold on our shower curtain. We found a roach in the bathroom as well. The TV was angled towards the ceiling and we didn't want to attempt to move it down as it did not seem sturdy on the wall. There wasn't a freezer in the refrigerator. House keeping did not come at all during our 2 night stay.

Great staff and clean, safe facility. The only problem I have is that they are a strict no smoking facility but the hallways smell strongly of marijuana, and as I am not a smoker, it is a big turn off.

Nothing fancy, but a fair value for the price. I appreciated that the clerk had my key waiting for me, after I had to stand behind two others who apparently were booking rooms on the fly.

Grounds outside were very pretty. The motel itself is showing its age with long cracks in the walls and old, outdated decor. The pets friendly policy is good if you only have 2 pets. You are not told of the 2 pets limit when reserving the room online. We had 3 pets with us, so they charged me $20/night for the extra pet.
