The place was under construction but they should not be letting guests stay in unfinished rooms. There were wires hanging out, moldings missing, etc but the worst part was how filthy it was. And the privacy lock was missing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Even though they were renovating the hotel was super clean, smelled wonderful and still provided all of their amenities. The staff was very friendly and they took safety very seriously. Upon checking in the desk clerk didn’t announce my room number aloud: and they had a sign that all deliveries are to be left at the front with prevents strangers from having direct access to your room. Also when he handed my id and card back my address was on the bottom so as not to be seen. I don’t know if that was intentional or not but as a woman who typically travels and stays alone I was so grateful and I felt so safe there. This will be my new preferred hotel stay!

The hotel is under construction, our first room had no AC, our replacement room had no switches on lamps, brown/black stains on the blankets that we saw in the morning, and water in shower that never got hot. Shouldn’t be open in this state.

Liked: Staff & service
The property was undergoing a remodel at the time of my visit. Not just part or a floor at a time, the entire building. We had two rooms and neither was completed. We even changed a room and still the same. I am a building contractor and I understand dust and delays but the rest of my party was very unsatisfied. When doing a remodel and still charging full price for rooms they need to be finished and clean. The smoke detector in the room wasn't even installed yet and there was no fire escape plan posted in the rooms. Where I come from that is a major violation. I kept my mouth shut so as not to create anymore issues with our stay. In the end we stayed for all 4 nights and didn't bother looking for another motel. Maybe next year when we visit they will be completed and it will be one of the nicer motels in the area.
