Inexpensive

The motel was the cheapest offered for the area, which was the reason I stayed here (unexpected business trip). Not too many guests when I was there. I had to work nights and sleep during the day, so I can't offer comments on the environment at night, but the facility is so close to the interstate you can't avoid traffic noises, especially during the day. No phone in my room, so if I'd had to call the front desk I'd've had to make the call on my cell phone. Chief good thing: cheap.

Seriously beware and don’t do it.

Horrible horrible horrible. There are not enough adjectives to describe how terrible this place is. I’m pretty sure the air conditioning system is a breeding ground for listeria, the other occupants appear to be long-term and heavily invested in “unlicensed professional pharmaceuticals“ and the overall condition of the rooms and furniture would probably make the public health risk list. Absolutely unlivable and atrocious.

OK, but just.

I was in the area for a job interview; therefore, I did not want to spend a lot of money. I got a very inexpensive rate. This property is not one I would take my family to, but as a single traveler needing an inexpensive place to sleep, this minimally suited my purposes. The important thing is that the bathroom and sink area were just fine. Only one cigarette burn on the edge of the tub. The bed was OK. There was no alarm clock or box of Kleenex. The phone was an old fashioned touchtone phone. I called to leave a wake up call but no one answered. The room heater was a little finicky. The AC was OK but the heater took a little while before it came on. The floor was vacuumed, although the carpeting was old and stained. The wallpaper is peeling and one of the lights was out. There were a couple of cigarette burns on the bedspread. There was a TV in the room but no guide to what channels were available. The gentleman at the desk checked me in efficiently and politely.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Too shabby for the price

Had to stay here on VERY short notice, so at least they were able to accommodate us as far as that goes & it was appreciated. Anyway, not the worst condition I've ever seen, but certainly not worth the $65.95 price tag. Felt...skeevy really. Maybe we were paranoid, but it just didn't feel clean or safe. But at least the air worked.

Didn't stay here, left

Really nice owners of this hotel, so I wish I could rate it higher. They are working very hard to make it better. I didn't feel comfortable staying there because there was debris on the sheets, and the condition of the room was pretty run down. However, the refund was granted me very cheerfully and they did offer another room to me. I appreciated their calmness and gentle spirit in this transaction.
