It was a cheap stay for 12 hours. The entryways were not very clean and didn't give a good impression. The carpet, as you entered the room was frayed, needs replaced. The bed was amazing! Comfortable bed with sheets that felt so soft. There is a big window that opens to the back side of the building. It really needs upgrading. Put a patio with tables, chairs and flower beds. It could be a great relaxing area. My main reason for staying was a comfortable bed for a reasonable price for an overnight stay...and the bed came through!

The large parking lot had plenty of space for our uhaul trucks and trailers. The room had a half-size fridge with a microwave, kitchen sink and open cupboards for food and dishes (not supplied). The best feature we utilized was the outside door from our room. We parked directly outside of our room, which made bringing things in and out a breeze. There was also an inside hall door that led everywhere else in the motel. Continental breakfast was pretty standard. I appreciate that they called to let me know I forgot my pillows.

First of all, I reserved a king sized bed, but it wasn't cleaned by 3:30 when we arrived. So we settled on 2 smaller-than-queen sized beds. We were there one hour, but were not granted a refund for our pet deposit which I paid her in cash. ONE hour. I do NOT recommend that hotel. I hope they close business.

I booked this place for a night as I had a class I needed to do; overall I’d say the hotel wasn’t the worst one I’ve stayed at but to the management team; I’d definitely look for some new cleaners. I do a lot of Airbnb cleaning so I notice a lot of small things. A couple things were finding a used flosser and bread clip on the floor by the bed as well as the bathroom floor feeling dirty and having ripped toilet paper pieces on the floor. The shower wasn’t super clean either, however it just took a good rinse before my shower. I’d just say make sure the room is being properly cleaned as it goes beyond the bed being made and the trash being taken out. The pool I was looking forward to, however it also was not super clean, the floor was almost like loose rocks and the hot tub was cold, however there wasn’t an out of order sign. The man at the front desk was very quick to helping get checked in and getting extra towels. I do think it would help just simply having different cleaners as the cleanliness of an environment plays a huge role when it comes to choosing a place to stay. Overall, not the worst experience but would have enjoyed it more if it was cleaner :)

The pool was cold at night, the hot tub was freezing cold, the room were clean, the toilet keep running, you had to shack the handle so it would stop, the bath tub filled up with water when showering, the shower curtain let water go all over the bathroom. The whole place smelled if cigarettes and weed. The like to use padlock to lock up area of hotel, they don't like you to look around the hotel. The bed was new but hard and smaller side of full size. They don't give out extra pillows!

If you want to stay here, if you’re on a budget while traveling, fine, but beware there are people who live there regularly, and some do cause problems in the middle of the night like screaming and hollering at each other. The breakfast was good, plentiful options, the pool and hot tub I didn’t use, but definitely the management needs to make known to the regulars that live there that they aren’t the only ones who stay there, and they need to be honoring and respectful to the other guests who need their sleep due to traveling. I did not appreciate being woken up by screaming & hollering in the neighboring room.
