Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The refrigerator was awesome, for an in-room frig. There actually was a separate freezer compartment and freezer door above the frig, and the freezer actually kept our freezer blocks frozen. The water pressure was good. Otherwise, the facility was adequate, not luxurious. Attention should be given to the slick and slippery floor of the bath tub (for the sake of safety), and the black mold on the ceiling above the shower head, which suggests a plumbing leak from the second floor.

Nice place for a quick stay

The room was clean and cold when we got there. Everything was availabile and was enough to last for our 2 day stay. There was a picnic table area and the pool was crystal clear but i wasn't there to swim. The staff was friendly and available.

Clean budget hotel

I booked this very budget hotel as a stopover on a longer road trip knowing I didnt want to spend a lot of money. The main issue I had with the property was that the room was not kept air conditioned until I checked in, so that upon entering it was very hot and musty smelling. I asked to change rooms, but got the idea that this was just standard practice. Luckily, by the time I got back from grabbing something to eat, the room was cooled down and the desk clerk had sprayed some kind of freshener. Other than this, the room was clean, the linens a bit sparse, but serviceable.

The room had a funny smell when we first arrived, but we just dropped our bags, when returning that night about 11 PM and finding dead cockroaches in the room I realize the smell was from bug spray. My son refused to stay there. He ended up going back to my daughter’s apartment and sleeping on the floor because of being creeped out by roaches in the room. Upon telling the hotel they told me sorry hopefully it would be better next time. Next time? You kidding

Property is updated but still a bit worn. Easy fixes - the ratty chair at the table - should be addressed. Safe, clean, inexpensive spot.
