Will never stay here again

Terrible shape, motel was old and dirty and seemed in was in a sketchy location. Originally booked due to having advertised airport shuttle and continental breakfast, apparently they were bought out after we booked and this property now has neither of these amenities

Short stay to ease my mind

My check in was great. The man thaf helped me was very pleasant. I was having a rough day and he made it easier for me. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. My only complaint was that the toilet didnt stop running after it was flushed. Other than that, i have no complaints

The pictures are very misleading! The woman at the front desk was very friendly. The room was very run down. Bathroom cabinets were chipped and in bad shape. Bed was ok. Exterior door was not fitted well, and you could see light from the street on the edges of the door. I want actually convinced that it was locked. Had it not been midnight, we would have left.

NOT as advertised at all! I sent a message before I left the property to cancel our return trip! On the cruise I heard nothing as I did not have internet! I have some photos to send! Sink handle came off in our hands, a dirty towel was under the sink, microwave glass dish had melted cheese in it, no coffee in the rm, no cups or plastic glasses for water! Hard old wooden chairs to sit on!
