There were noisy guests upstairs and downstairs with loud music playing through a window to the parking lot. Front desk staff, while helpful, seemed annoyed by requests.

The front desk and house keeping staff were smoking weed in the front lobby and the staff then went outside and stared at us when we were getting our luggage out of the car. We packed up and drove home. Did not feel safe

The beds were comfortable and the room was quiet. The downside was that previous customers had trashed the room that we booked, so things weren't really ready for us. The staff did a good job of trying to get things right for our stay.
And our grandkids enjoyed the swimming pool.

Way better than I expected for a Morel 6. Only issue I had was that the remote didn’t match the TV but that wasn’t a big deal. Would definitely recommend and stay again

The room, bathroom was very dirty. We didn't sleep at night, because the dogs was very loud the next room. The smell was very bad. The bathroom was full of bugs. The staff was freindly.

There should be a limit of how many dogs are allowed on property! Smells like weed coming in the front door. People hanging out the windows talking to each other like it’s a New York street neighborhood.

This was not the first time for me to stay at this location. My first experience was good; however, this stay i just completed was the exact opposite. The halls/rooms were very noisy. Thursday night the other patrons did not quiet down until 4am Friday morning then they didn't quiet down til 2am Saturday morning. This is not acceptable. When I mentioned it to the front desk, he said I was basically lying. He worked there all night and it was not noisy and I was full of crap. Also when he went to check the room at checkout, he accused me of smoking in my room. He said it had a bad smoking smell like I had done that in the room. Well let me tell you. the whole hall smelled of cigarette smoke. It smelled like that as soon as you turned the corner to go down the hall to get to my room. He was very disrespectful, and I will probably not stay here again.

Horrible experience here. People live in this motel. Bad area people casing cars in the parking lot. Should be low income housing. Do not stay here.

The entire hotel smells like mildew. The room had been partially re-done: new furniture and floor, but old bathroom, holes in walls, etc. The mattress was comfy, but there were holes in the sheet that somehow managed to be scratchy. There were black oily fingerprints in the shower and on the shower curtain. The base of the toilet hadn't been cleaned recently. The walls are very thin, so we heard every conversation in the halls. No breakfast, which we knew going in. There was coffee in the mornings. We are very far from being coffee snobs (day old microwaved coffee is fine), but both of us took a sip and dumped out the rest.

Walked in my room, cockroach on the wall. Bathroom door broken, smelled like dope and people were in the parking lot doing shady stuff. Rooms facing the parking lot had the drapes open, and people watching who was driving in.
