Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was disgusting. The floors were dirty and there were literally roaches crushed into the door frame from the door closing on them. After one night I woke up to bug bites all over my arm. Stayed one night and promptly left to stay somewhere else. We didn’t even sleep under the covers as we were afraid to (for good reason apparently). We bought two pillows and a blanket to sleep on top of the bed sheets. The room came with 3 pillows across two beds and very little towels for showering. Shower was also dripping all night. Staff was friendly and tried to refund me but couldn’t since we booked through a third party. STEER CLEAR IF YOU VALUE CLEANLINESS AND COMFORT.

This was a tired hotel that could use some significant maintenance. However, the price was good, pets were free, the internet worked well, the bed was comfortable and the checkin agent was helpful. If you can't stand to have a lower quality room, this isn't the place for you. But for the price and location, we were satisfied with our stay here.

Certain staff members were great and they would make great managers of this hotel. The current managers really need to take responsibility and step down and resign. Andy is aJeyill and Hyde mentality personality! He is intoxicated will on the job, swears a lot and is quick to call the police on people and have them kicked out! Days that he is sober he is decent to deal with. The management is been watched throwing peoples mail away!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you are looking for a very short stay for a couple, it’s not the worst place ever. If you’re trying to stay as a family: abort mission. The outside security doors are nonexistent and the helpful man that checked us in assured us we should not worry. We worried, all night. The smell of cigarettes was very prominent in our room, despite all areas being “non-smoking”. I assume the smell was wafting in from the outside door that doesn’t have the ability to close. Stains, melted parts of plastic, dirty mirrors, no Kleenex. Seems like a place to avoid if you value cleanliness and safety. Oh, and the pool is “closed for maintenance” though other guests and I agreed, “that thing hasn’t been running for a long time!” Nice enough staff.

After several hour drive, we are hoping to get in and have a nice clean room and bed to sleep in. Floors were dirty. Bathroom was dirty. TV didn’t work and the noise from the highway and lights from the parking lot made it almost impossible to sleep. Would not recommend this property.

Clean. Comfortable bed. Had a good quiet sleep. A bit run down. Plexiglass at reception desk and signage in room regarding keeping the deadbolt and latch closed for safety wasn't reassuring but all went well. Pool closed for maintenance.

The room was ok and the bed was comfortable, what I expected for the price. The hotel is supposed to be smoke free, however my room reeked of cigarette smoke.

We had 2 rooms and it is close to Lost Island and restaurants/shopping. The good: I thought the beds were comfortable for simple platform beds. AC worked. The room was tidy and simple. In both rooms the sinks leaked, there was duct tape on the pipes. Our bathroom wall was dirty and I saw a few small bugs in the bathroom. The other room, the walls had some sticky crap on them, it was gross. I heard some guy complaining to the desk anout the duct tape on his shower head. No breakast, probably a good thing. For a cheap sleep we were ok.

Plastic mattress covers

Bed was great black out curtains awesome.shower hot. Bed was super comfy except for the plastic mattress cover. Sheets wouldn't stay on bed and I sweat from the plastic. I suggest they spend a little more for the waterproof mattress covers that are quilted . The mattress will be protected and sheets will stay on I just took it off and sheets stayed on I was cool and slept great

The staff was amazing and very accommodating, the rooms have a musty odor as well as damp feeling, the fridge was dripping water into my food and didn't stay cold, the lights behind the bed wouldn't turn off. construction around the area mad it a bit difficult to navigate at night but thats not the Motels fault. if you need a place to sleep for a couple day this is perfect for you.
