I made reservations for this location while on the road, when we arrived at the property, there was no one, no one attending the front desk, we tried to call the two phone numbers we had for the property, and no one answered at all, we had to make reservations in another motel down the road. There were only three to two cars in the parking area, in the office they had

The gentleman managing the front desk and customer relations with kind, professional, and extremely helpful. Although this is an older hotel that needs a little TLC all I needed was a warm shower in a comfortable bed. In the bonus was the gentleman at the front.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Dirty room with peeling wallpaper and what looked like mold, rickety toilet, limited towels that were threadbare, tv barely worked as well as the heat, cracked sagging ceiling, no coffee or hairdryer in room, they state they are pet friendly but charged more than the room fee for a pet. Would not recommend this place!

The carpet was gross under your feet. We had to have shoes on the whole time. The bathroom wall had something all over it. The bathtub was not clean. There was hair in it. The ceiling paint was falling off. If it wasn’t for a late night arrival and a non-refundable fee, I would have left instantly. I’ve never been in something so gross.

The room I was checked into wasn’t what I had payed for because the manager was away on a trip so the man he had checking guests in wasn’t aware of what to do , I payed for a king bed room and got a double bed room when I arrived inside the room was dirty and seemed to only have had the bed made over the last person to stay bad stains on sheets as well as old underwear an water bottles under bed , room had strong smell as if it had been smoked in even though it is a no smoking room I booked not sure what I got placed in.

Great stay

For the price this place was amazing. Hot water, A/C, king size bed, clean linens. I even got a microwave and refrigerator. For the most part the room was quiet except for the birds in the morning but that didn't bother me much. It's not a place for everyone but for the price and a one night rest it was great and I would stay again.

Wouldn't recommend.

Reserved king and it wasn't avaliable, had to settle for 2 doubles. We veiwed 2 rooms to accept that one. 1st one wasn't even cleaned. The bed were not comfortable. Pillows were small and should be replaced as well as the stained sheets. I wouldn't stay here again. The lady at the front desk was pleasant and did the best she could with what she had.
