We rented 3 rooms and all 3 rooms were infested with roaches. When we complained to the night manager, she was very nonchalant with her attitude and just asked for the keys back while saying they just had pest control come out!
The place is very run down , the people running it are rude to say the least , the few people who were staying there were unsavory, we did not feel safe there or feel comfortable leaving our vehicle unattended. We asked for a refund and were rudely refused . Would never recommend anyone to stay .
Stay away from this place !!!! I feel like I was robbed and I know I was scammed by the girl that was working there!
She had a sign on the counter saying Cash Only which I paid!
When we got to the room and realized that the beds were hard as a rock and the bathroom was dirty we went back to the office and said we wanted our money back because we couldn’t sleep on the bed and she smirked and said it doesn’t work that way just because we didn’t like the bed and refused to give us the money!!! She was very rude and I believe she scammed us!!!!!
I couldn't get a hold of any staff. We had one towel for 2 people. Tv didnt work. The room smelled bad and had mold in it. A green Christmas tree haging on the ceiling, knowing there was a problem with the smell. No light blubs working in the main light. Nothing in the room was updated since tge late 60s. Absolutely terrible. We left early.
The room was fine. It was clean, needs new carpet but overall OK for an old property. The Restaurant at the location is excellent!!

an air compressor behind the building kicked on every four minutes and I couldn't sleep. Left around 4am. In fairness, I called the front desk to get them to shut it down when I went to bed (they said they couldn't hear it, which was crazy because the building vibrated) and they offered to move my room. By that time I was in bed and exhausted and din't want to move so I stayed and stuffed TP in my ears to reduce the noise. Otherwise, the place was just kinda grimy.

It will do in a pinch!
This property needs lots of love. Beds very uncomfortable. Upside restaurant was great.
The motel is ok if it’s the only place you can stay. If you have a choice, stay somewhere else.
Our stay was filled with killing bugs in our rooms, with dirty (stained) sheets, and the a/c units didn’t cool the room very well.

The pool was unusable and on Expedia as well as their website it advertised beautiful pool. Also I paid for insurance to cancel and I wasn’t allowed to cancel. So I stayed there
It was nice there was a diner within walking distance, food ok but place not real clean. As for the Carriage Inn there were alot of construction workers staying there and was very noisy. The comfortors had holes in them
, the bedding and linnen had stains on them and the rooms smelled. It was OK for a place to get a hot shower and sleep for the night but would not stay there for a week.
