Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This motel is very very basic. You check in from the outside of the office. There is a bed, chair, tv, fridge and microwave. The first room we checked into didn't have working heat so we were moved to the next room. There is no hair dryer, kleenex or toiletries. The towels are small and thin. The shower was dirty. For $300 for two nights I feel over-charged.

Improvement needed

Well...if you just need a place to "lay" your head...it was OK. Newer mattress & better updated bathroom area is needed. The office was a window you stood outside of and spoke through it via microphone. Not real good business practice in my eyes. For the price of the room...simply needs to be better. Thanks!

Conveniently located has it’s pros and cons

Hotel was clean, although somewhat rundown & it did have a refrigerator and microwave although it would’ve been nice not to have to go to the office to ask for a remote control for the television, would’ve called the office unfortunately the telephone in the room was a dummy telephone that didn’t walk. There was quite a bit of traffic noise and the daycare right next door to the hotel was quite noisy in the morning. The location was extremely convenient for our plans for the evening. Having said that I’m grateful we didn’t have to stay a second night
