Disliked: Cleanliness
Ive stayed here many times and was satisfied but this time was terrible. The floor was filthy i couldnt walk barefoot on it and the towels were heavily previously stained with a grey material. Gross. I dont know if you get worse customer experience because you have a dog but they charge $35 a night exyra to stay in a room with filthy floors and stained towels.

The room was clean and looked just like the pictures. Everything was great except there was a horrible smell coming from the bathroom pipes. Staff was really nice. Other then that it’s a nice quick place to stay located near restaurants down the road

The A/C didn’t work when I checked in. I went to tell the worker who just stared at me and looked annoyed. After I told him for the third time and he still acted like he couldn’t hear me and wasn’t willing to walk up to the window I decided I would just leave and sleep on a couch. Wouldn’t stay here if they paid me. Very rude worker, also.

The rooms are actually beautiful! Bathrooms are new and the pricing is exceptional for the area! It is within walking distance of restaurants and shopping! The WiFi worked in the office but never worked in my room. It wasn’t a problem as I didn’t need it! There is a train that comes quite close; however, the noise is only temporary. It didn’t bother me. The staff were very nice as well!

Nice staff, but this place really needs to step up their game when it comes to cleanliness. The bathroom was not clean, the toilet was dirty even though it had the “sanitized” band around it, mirror had prints all over, sink was dirty. We had ants in the bathroom. Sheets had holes in them.

Rude, especially the bedding, sheets, and blanket, or not queen there were still things from the person before the belongings left in the sheets and blankets. Staff which is also owner manager rude would not admit to being a manager so I called from the parking lot looking at him and ask for the manager and he says hello I am the manager. Stay away at all costs in fact, purposely drive by it just so you can leave it. It’ll be your best move.

I've stayed at my share of budget Motels before and would rate this below a Motel 6. There was no one at the front desk for check in at 7PM on a Thursday night and had to wait about 15 minutes. Room itself was clean and had a refrigerator, microwave and air-conditioner. Room itself was stuffy and the air conditioner was louder than a Motel 6 AC. The bed was on a weird frame that would make a loud banging sound when getting on/off or moving too much which kept waking my 4 year old up when she was able to sleep with the loud AC. Refrigerator was also noisy. Lets not forget the train tracks are close by and we had a train go by in the middle of the night waking us up yet again. Let's not forget they give the TV remotes at check in and mine didn't work. We did not sleep much the 2 nights we were there and were completely exhausted on our Legoland Adventure. Location is nice but that's all I can say I enjoyed.

Very poor motel.
Hotel.com rated this motel 7+ stars. This rating was completely wrong. The motel was truly an awful experience. I previously trusted Hotel.com’s rating but now I’m thinking differently. Might start using other hotel booking pages due to the lack of trust I have in that website. Sorry but just being honest.
