The room was somewhat run down but everything was clean and I had hot water for a shower. For the price I rate it four out of five stars.

I very much loved the beds and pillows, they were so comfortable! Room was clean and spacious. I liked the fridge and microwave also. The front desk was super friendly, I just felt bad having to ring the bell. I thought I might be disrupting family or personal time. The outdoor side doors did not lock which concerned me slightly since anyone could enter, but I felt safe enough with deadbolt locked. Overall pleasant stay.

Bathroom horror
First we tried to cancel 1 of our rooms because our friend that was supposed to stay also is a first responder and was hurt responding to a fatal crash. They told ua since the room was already paid for there was nothing they could do. The bathroom in our room had holes punched into the door and wouldn't close and latch. The door knob didn't have working conection to the door frame. You had to straddle the sides of the shower because if you stepped in the middle it felt like you were going to go thru it. The toilet was so short it only came to about mid calf. No water pressure in the shower at all. I definitely wouldn't recommend this site for a stay to anyone.

Honestly, for $60 a night this place was not bad at all. Obviously staying in a motel, you’re not going to have the nicest room, but there are no complaints other than the red stain in the shower which was a bit frightening but i just ignored it. The bed at this place is honestly amazing. It’s big and extremely comfortable. Not sure if they washed the sheets or not so i brought my own. But extremely comfortable, nonetheless. Overall, i had a good experience here. Probably won’t come back though because I'm definitely going to stay somewhere nicer in the future.

So the place is kind of crappy. There was poorly cleaned writing on the wall of our room. There were apparently outdated pamphlets in the room. The thing in the room said the breakfast was from 7-10:30, so we went to eat our free breakfast at 10 and the lady working said it actually ended at 9. Didn’t say a thing about the times changing before. So we missed our free continental breakfast even tho that was one of the reasons we chose this place. I feel like almost $70 for one night there is way too much especially because we didn’t even get the free breakfast. The only thing good I can say about this place is that the bed was comfy. Needless to say I feel ripped off.

The drain in the bath didn't work so taking a tub was impossible. The key cards stopped working the second day.
