The rooms look nothing like the photos, and I’m sure all the reviews here are fake. However, the staff were kind and helpful. We left early because the bed felt like a rock. This motel is only good as a last resort if you can’t find anything else.

I stayed at Heritage while I closed on my new house. I was scared, anxious and worried about my life and internet connection for work. I am alive. Internet connection was great. As for the room 309 overlooked the pool and I could hear children playing and I enjoyed that. The room is outdated, old furniture, bathtub and fixtures. The refrigerator worked. The carpet is disgustingly dirty old and Heritage should be embarrassed! The place needs a renovation ASAP! I booked through Expedia. Staff was warm and professional. I noticed a Security Guard walking the property at night ( I think he was Security Guard) Overall, my stay was fine. I DONT recommend.

The beds were comfortable. Sheets were clean. The staff were helpful. I have to admit, I have never stayed in a hotel where the main office does not open until 3:00 PM check in. Even though they were sold out the facility is older and needs some additional care. Maybe clean the furniture that looks very used. Air conditioning worked and parking was ample. We only stayed one night and it served its purpose.

All in all, it wasn't a bad stay. Getting into the hotel was a little challenging because of the traffic pattern, but I caught on quickly. The AC in the room didn't work. The bed was a little softer than I like but it was plenty comfortable. The water pressure was very good. The water temperature was adequate. Took a little bit for hot water, but still good. The toiletries were very nice. Worked well and smelled great. The best part of the hotel was the staff! They were absolutely exceptional. Would stay again.

Rooms are well kept up though some renovation is helpful. Staff does their very best. AC is good but parking can be tight and folks manage it fairly well. Surroundings can be better as some vagrants occasionally use the parking lot for partying but we all leave each other alone and keep the environment safe and respectful. After dozens of stays at this place I give it an "A" for cost value for accommodations. The staff can't be held accountable for the government's failures in the community. Overall grade with all things considered is a B-.

This place just is what it is, I think it provides exceptional value. I did feel a little uncomfortable at times but that’s just what happens when a hotel has great value. All in all, the staff took care of me, the cleaners did their jobs, and there was some construction going on too which was a little annoying but it’s good to see that they are making repairs and improvements. I would recommend this place if you need a local spot to stay and know how to keep to yourself. Thank you.

I was on 2nd floor and it was hard to navigate with cane and items in my hand. Handicap parking was always full so had long walks from parking space to the stairs. Room was very well maintained and clean. Access was good for someone that does not have trouble walking. I am waiting for hip replacement surgery, navigating stairs is stressful. There were no handicap rooms open, and I had to get a room with short notice. Our Motor Home had to be worked on before we were able to drive it back home. I would stay at this property again, however hopefully it would be with longer lead time and I would be able to reserve a handicap room. Hopefully it will be after I have successful hip replacement surgery, and I may not need a handicap room.

The website picture were close enough to be considered accurate. But that's where the similarities ended. The room was "clean" but dirty, dingy, poorly lit, mismatched lighting, questionable cleanliness in the bathroom area, and the cabinets in the main room were sticky. To top it off, the mattress had what I'm guessing was a rubber sheet under the bedding "for easy cleaning" as it squeaked when I sat on it and made noise throughout the night. I ended up shortening my stay to avoid cancelation fees, but as soon as I could, I was out of there. The other clientele was scary and seemed like they were actually living there. I will not be returning and would not recommend.

I was skeptical, should have passed! TERRIBLE! I called the property because we would be arriving a little late. This was when I learned that I accidentally booked a 'smoking' room! I didn't know there was still such a thing! Asked to change to a non-smoking rm & told it wasn't possible as they were full.However, upon arrival they said they were able to work it out & put us in a non-smoking rm. I am very appreciative of this & is reflected by my 5 stars for the staff. The pics of the room are very deceptive. The beds are made up with cute little deco pillows & footend sheets like you would see in more luxurious hotels. The pics also show individual lights at the corners of ea headboard & a table top lamp on the one, shared small nightstand in addition to the overhead lighting, as well as a hair dryer, a coffee maker & an ironing board. None of the of that existed. The overhead lighting, operated by the switch by the door, was the only lighting for the room. And, the only outlet on that side of the room is also operated by that same switch. Super inconvenient for charging phones, etc. And, the room phone buttons were so broken up it was unusable. Overall, everything was old & in disrepair. The hinges of cabinetry all broken. Drawers didn't open/shut right. Dresser top, desk top & vanity top all nicked, marred & in need of replacement. Tub had a lg chip in it. Carpets nasty, food left on the floor. A/C broken, on or off, no adjusting & no heat. Water gets hot/pressure ok.
