Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
One of the worst motels I’ve ever stayed at. We booked a room with two beds and a kitchen, but as soon as we entered, the room smelled bad, the bedsheets were dusty, and the furniture was dirty. There were bugs all around. We informed the owner and asked them to check the room, but they simply said, "This is what you get." The room was nothing like what was advertised on Expedia. When I told them I wanted to cancel, they offered us a smaller room without a kitchen, which also smelled terrible. Since it was a long weekend, we tried other hotels, but everything was fully booked, so we had no choice but to stay. We had to buy air freshener, hand wash, body wash, and bedsheets just to get through one night. It was a nightmare. Please check the pictures they advertise — they are completely different from the actual rooms. This is one of the dirtiest, most unpleasant places I’ve ever visited. You'll find spiders and bugs everywhere. The rooms clearly haven’t been cleaned or vacuumed in months. Do not stay here.

Found in a good central location, easy to find, lots of parking options. A little play structure is located outside good for younger children. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of our room. Easy check in and easy check out. Staff were friendly. Sufficient for a one night stay.

At our overnight stay within the Gables Inn we enjoyed our overall stay. The rooms were newly updated (we had 2) the beds were comfortable and there was lots of room for activites indoors. The only downfall with the Gables inn is that it’s broadcasted their is a pool for swimming and to our surprise when we arrived it looked like the pool had been closed for many years and instead built a small jungle gym next to it meaning it should have been removed from the ad. The lady working the front desk was friendly and answered any questions we had.

I let hotel management know that our refrigerator was not working and she had it replaced within a couple of hours. The bathroom was recently remodeled, so that was especially nice. We are a family of 5 so having three queens in the room was great.

it was a clean and nice motel

The room was very cool at all times there was no thermostat in the room. It was also -26 outside so that might have something to do with the temperature in the room and once you were in the bed it was good sleeping.
