I liked the location. We were upgraded because they thought of us even before we got there by, letting us stay in a nicer room that was away from some of the remodeling going on. Staffing was courteous and helpful.

Needs torn down

I do not recommend staying here, very old and dingy hotel. The towels were all a dirty gray color and everything just wasn't clean. We had no other options by the time we got there and I apologized to my family several times because it was not a good stay.

Parents weekend and Homecoming, terrible stay

We arrived too check in and the gentleman working was very rude right away. He stated he needed my card on file in case we did anything to the room. I went and got my card and identification. My girlfriend came in with me at this time. The worker then asked if we had any pets,I said we had a dog. He said that it would be 10.00 for the pet. Which in the website it stated that kids up 16 were free and pets were welcome. Didn't say anything about a fee. Then we asked for a rollaway bed for my girlfriends son who is 14. The worker said it was 15.00/ night for the bed. Plus 20.00 for our pet. So,not only did I pay 155.00/two nights, I paid additional 55.00 just to have my family stay there. Never have I been charged for a rollaway bed in any hotel I've stayed in.

Dirty, worn and deteriorating.

We weren't expecting a top notch hotel for the price obviously, but what we found was a dirty, run down, dusty and deteriorating room. From the reviews, it sounded as if this hotel had been recently updated and the rooms were clean with comfortable beds. "Don't let the outside fool you" was what one review said. In our opinion, the outside speaks too high of this place. The room has weeks of dust and dirt along the wall between the night stands and head board of the bed, including a lid with a straw from a disposable cup laying between the bed and night stand that had been there for some time. The mattress cover under the sheets was stained, and had not been changed in the recent months. The bathroom had a peeling ceiling, and stains of some sort that was "running down the walls". Perhaps there are a couple of nice refurbished and clean rooms somewhere in the hotel, but this wasn't one of them. We typically trust the reviews on expedia and have had decent luck....but no more. We were stuck with this place unless we wanted to "eat" the cost of the room and go elsewhere. Looking back, it is exactly what we should have done.

I was impressed both by the cleanliness and the personality of this motel. It's not your normal cooky cutter hotel that all look alike on the inside. It has a throwback charm to it that is very unique. It could use a bit of paint touch up in a couple of corners and there were a few very minor chips in the furniture that just added to the charm. The breakfast was no feast, but nice, with waffles, eggs, sausage, variety of coffees, several different cereals, and a few breads. Just a warning, this is a love it or hate it type of place, because it isn't a huge chain cooky cutter place, but I loved it and will be back again.

Just Okay

Be prepared for WILDLY BRIGHT retro colors on the walls. The colors were not very relaxing really, but I know the wall colors did not dictate whether or not I was comfortable or could sleep. Bed was comfortable enough, but there was so much hallway light coming in from all around the door. It was a little unnerving to think the door wasn't very tight (or maybe even secure), and it was hard to fall asleep because there was so much light coming in. I did sleep, but was kind of glad to leave the next morning. The guy at the front desk seemed nice, and I'm grateful for the place to rest that night, but I probably won't be back.

Breakfast options were somewhat limited and juice machine did not work during our stay. Would suggest marking parking spaces for accommodating room and the additional people loitering during late evenings needs to be addressed. The room was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay otherwise.
