Ample parking and convenient to restaurants and shopping.
Parking was easy, secure. Laundry was available, didn't use. Room was clean, sheets were clean, bathroom was clean. Carpeted hallway was smelly but room was was fine, LVP flooring Beds not super comfy but price was good for a quick nights sleep. No breakfast or coffee, fyi.
Very dirty, bugs all over, very poorly maintained, security doors to the hotel had the locks broken so anyone could walk in. The adjoining door between rooms was duct taped closed. We didn't stay for our 2nd booked night but found a cleaner hotel close by.
Average property. Rooms were Clean. Bed was good. TV worked. However No Hot Water. Air/heat unit was using Duct tape to hold it together. Notice the staff working on rooms with issues. Parking lot needs repaving. (Pot Holes). Parking lot was dirty. Everything else Ice Machine and Vending were OK. Lots of restaurants, Stores and Gas stations nearby.

Good place the rooms actually good and clean the carpets in the corridors old . Daily room service . Some of the electric outlet does not work . Rooms has tv good size refrigerator and microwave .
Nice swiming pool but not clear what is the operation hours and how to access it ?
The room was not in good space. The bed sheets were dirty and blanket has burn marks on them. The bottom wall by the floor was sticking out with nails. Right outside the parking lot area there are people sleeping in cars. The only good thing I can say about the motel is the staff was helpful at front desk about checking in and out
Bathroom door had been torn up by a dog? Wouldn’t even close, door trim missing . Wires hanging down from heating/ac unit and top cover was missing. Half the lights didn’t work. Pool closed? Worst motel I have ever stayed in!
AWFUL
No microwave in rooms
No fridge in rooms
I was told I didn’t I have a reservation and was just turned away without being asked more questions. The gal up front is very rude. Do NOT go here.
Everything at this hotel was good. We have stayed here a few times and not disappointed in all of the places around if that are very close (restaurants, shopping, coffee shops). There is only one thing I was not happy about and that was that Hotels.com emailed an invoice to me for 2 rooms, one night and the price was $299 or $150 each for the room. That was so very wrong our room was $66 each for the night. Get your act together Hotels.com
Parking was fine. I asked for a handicapped room wwhen i made the reservation. We got thereand were told it wasnt available due to flooding in the building. I think they should have emailed or texted me before check-in so i could make other arrangements. There were people in other rooms yelling and screaming then to top things off, the police came to do something about the people yelling and screaming. I wouldn't recommend this place to the devil himself!
This hotel is run down, smelly, and dirty. Outlets in the room didn’t work and there are basically no amenities at all (no shampoo or conditioner just one little cheap soap bar . It was quiet and the bed wasn’t the most uncomfortable one I’ve slept on but the pillowcases had makeup on them
So we covered the bed with our own towels. Ok if you are trying to find somewhere cheap to just sleep for the night but don’t expect much else. Front desk people were nice and there was plenty of free parking though!
