Cheap hotel, don't expect anything fancy.

If you're just looking for cheap place to stay in town then this fine. You might have to deal with hearing drunk fights in the parking and prositutes at night but that's about it. The bedding is often stained as well and definitely needs replaced. No frills basic $50 a night type room. I'd bring your own bedding and don't touch the phone or anything (everything is barely cleaned).

Old hotel but it does the job

Check in was fast and pleasant room was sufficient bed mattress was well used but since I was by myself and it was a king size bed I just slept in the middle of the bed, there wasn't any dips and valleys there. The shower took some getting use to but it got the job done. Since I was spending a week there by myself the price was right and the accommodations were fine. I was on my motorcycle and was able to park it right outside my room which gave me the sense of security for my vehicle.

You get what you pay for and this is overpriced

It was older and not very clean. Our friends actually asked to change rooms because the bathroom was really bad

Time lost,

We went there about 1:30 am, we ring the bell and call the lobby but nobody came to open the door after 30 minutes of trying we call Comforts inn and got a room at that Motel. So my question to you is how you call that experience? Now I hope I get my money back.

Nice place.

Clean and quiet. Maybe a little overpriced ($45.00 would be better!). Desk clerk: hubhuba

In town

This place heads serious help. You can actually see the ceiling move when people upstairs are walking. The bathroom is outdated and you can see water damage all around the bathroom walls. And it's overpriced for the shape it's in. Parking is tight if you're driving anything but a midsized car.

Probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed in

Not a good location. Sketchy place all around. Room wasn't made up on the 2nd day. Bedspreads and blankets were really old. I knew it wasn't a great place when I booked it but it was way worse than expected.

Nice hotel! NOT Pet Friendly!

Remember to check with your hotel via phone before you arrive, instead of trusting Hotels.com to get the "Pet Friendliness" part correct. In the case of this hotel, Hotels.com has it listed as "Pet Friendly." In reality, the place stopped renting to people with pets some time ago. They say they have told Hotels.com about this, but their classification has not yet changed. We were allowed to stay the one night with our 3 dogs, but they could easily have refunded our $75 and told us to "be on our way."

ECONOMY - Sleezy would be better

Very dirty room was supposed to be a non-smoking room. The room smelled like cigarettes alcohol and just really horrible. The toilet was not cleaned. The comforters look like they had not been washed in years. Stains on the walls and ceilings just disgusting. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
