Although our beds appeared clean,we could feel the springs which made sleeping uncomfortable The paint was peeling in multiple places, dirty corners in the bathroom, the paint job was sloppy. The elevator didn’t work and I have problems with steps. The pool was closed because it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time. and there was a stale cigarette smell throughout the building.

It was a convenient stop, a little off the path for amenities, but the property felt safe, staff was pleasant and polite. Nothing high end, but just fine for an overnight stop, a bed and shower, and always a bonus when they allow your pets without having to jump through hoops and pay all sorts of fees.

Terrible Hotel

We drove 9 hours to get there and they told us they were booked up even though I had made a reservation 3 weeks before. Then they said to have a great day and basically told us to go

Wouldn't be back

This motel leaves a lot to be desired. Smelled like weed and there was a dog barking all night. The tv screen had broken pixels all down the middle. Fire alarm battery was low and beeped all night in the hallway. The stairwell smelled rancid. The first floor was flooding between 4 rooms and no hazard signs. Elevator didn’t work & pool was closed in July.

Worst experience ever Even tho this is a dog friendly hotel, I wouldn’t even let a gold fish sleep in this disgusting place. Not only did it sound as tho there was dog fights going on, on the third floor. This “non smoking” establishment has ash trays in the rooms and people just smoking throughout the whole property. We saw someone carry a whole tv out the front door. Women selling you know what. Elevator broken. But worst of all. We didn’t even feel comfortable having our bags in our room. After 13 hours on the road we just needed sleep. And a room to our self. But instead we got a room with 40 others, aka ROACHS. They were smashed to the wall and door frame. Everywhere you looked you saw one crawling. My step son ultimately asked if we could just sleep in our car. At one point I looked at my husband and asked if we were even safe to stay here. Lesson learned. Don’t blindly book a room without reading the reviews. This place should be burnt to the ground

The hotel was horrible. Walls were dirty, rooms were outdated. First time I ever went into a hotel with no refrigerator or microwave.I will never again. I think it was a hooker hotel

I'll be generous and give 4 stars

Mattress was terrible, I think it may have previously belonged to a sumo wrestler who used it for 10 years straight, sleeping in the same spot every night. A cash-only deposit policy is straight-up silly in 2025. Everything else was fine.
