The property is in terrible condition from mold, bugs, and dirty bedding that showed dried blood on the sheets.

Under new mangement, need time to adjust. I think they will be fine after they get the hang of it.

The room was a nice size and very clean. There was only one bath towel per person, we had to ask for additional bath towels. The toilet seat came loose from the toilet. The shower did not have a non-slip tub mat and did not have sufficient grab bars. The employees were very helpful, friendly and pleasant.

I have stayed here in the past a few times. Its a motel and you get what you pay for. However, this time i had nasty issues with roaches. It was super gross and in the past wasn't a problem. So i will not stay here again. Plus i had to make sure i didn't bring these nasty creatures home with me. They were in my water and just everywhere. Disgusting.

Roach infested stained sheets. Stay away. Gross. Extremely gross. They got some new furniture and sheets in the most run down motel you've been in your kife.

The room wasn’t ready when we checked in and we checked in 4 hours later than the check in time of 3pm. They had to clean the entire room and change the sheets, and the toilet seat was also broken at the hinge. It was $5 just to have an extra key to the room. And we only had three total towels for the room. The room was a nice size and had a sink, refrigerator and a cooktop too. But it was overshadowed by the room not being ready.

Excellent place to stay. Water gets hot. Heater actually works. Phones actually work. Tv/internet actually works. Limited parking but overall great. Wholesome couple runs and operates place. Very nice owners. Only issue is i dont think they mop the floors so make sure you wear socks or shoes inside. ! Or house slippers. Even better than some hilton hotels. Affordable as well

I had to stand in the reception area for over 15 mins ringing the bell for services when there was no one else waiting etc. I also had to sleep in my car due to the roaches that came out hours after I was there and was too late to go anywhere else. I also was not given a refund for my experience.

False advertisement- pictures show a clean and well kept property. When I arrived it was unkept, dirty, I felt unsafe to stay with my 10 year old daughter as a single mother, and the staff was not helpful. And unwilling to give me a refund. I would not recommend this place.

Property is not what I seems from the photos! Everything was broken the doors didn’t work had broken chairs in the room sheets were grey not white I asked for a non-smoking room (imagine I still had to state this) and once I entered the smoke smell smacked me in the face!! DO NOT go by the stars on the reviews they’re FALSE AND HAVE TO BE MADE UP!! RUN!!! This place is a nightmare!!

Although the room was clean and welcoming as well as comfortable housekeeping could have done a better job-hair in tub and sink counter, dust behind the tv, area next to the fridge in cabinet dirty, and the ac unit vents could have been cleaned-the other issue was the shower-I had to turn the sink on for the shower to come on and no matter how long or which direction I turned faucet I never got hot water.
