This place is a health hazard. Doors do not seal, so there are MANY cockroaches in the rooms, no faceplates over electrical wires, fixtures are mobile, there was exposed fiberglass on missing portions of the doorframe, and the bathroom was one of the most disgusting bathrooms I’ve ever seen. I had to go to two rooms due to the state of them and ultimately decided that I would be more comfortable sleeping in my car at a rest area. The man at the desk was very nice and offered to refund my stay, but I was going to sleep in the car even if he didn’t refund the stay. There is very evidently drug use within the hotel and it is not a good area. Again, I wouldn’t be quite as concerned with this for a quick stay if the doors actually shut.

The truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth
first impressions questionable location, slow service at check in, without a smile or welcome at the corner counter in the side reception room, key card in hand and minimal directions as to location of our room, we walked around the building to find a second floor room, skunk smell in the stairwell, and visible drug use left on the ground, on entering our room we're met with a damp cold smell, the room appeared clean, but on careful inspection we were met with other guests in the room, After a nine hour drive to Ohio, we were tired and just wanted to sleep, we cleared the ohio bugs and pulled back the sheets and were again dissapointed to see and feel the sheets were not fresh or clean, we adapted and made good a bad situation, stayed here for two nights got out very quickly and would not be going back, if you have to stay in this area be careful stay in after dark, better still don't stay in this hotel, sorry for the people that have to work here, but if you can't give a welcoming smile, a hello, or a good evening how is your day going, your in the wrong business

They are the most rude, disrespectful, scamming, dirty, fraudulent hotel owners/ staff I've EVER MET. I found roaches in my room ( #150 ) so I asked for a refund. At first they ignored me and said they wouldn't refund my night there. Well ultimately they ended up agreeing. Only to attempt fraud, theft ect. They said they would then they wouldn't then they would smh Then told me THE ONLY CARD I HAVE & USE A wasn't the one on file for my night there that was not there anymore. Now it was replaced with some off the wall card number, name address. even the date was wrong. They cussed at me, threatened me, harassed me. Do not book here

Basic motel with solid amenities. Room was very clean. The AC didn't work well, so it was quite warm most of the night. Beds were comfortable and it was an easy check in and out process. Would recommend it for a quick night stay.

Not worth the price.
Stayed here for a concert this weekend and it was so upsetting. By time I checked in and saw the room there was no where else to go. Roaches all over the room, dirty, toilet didn’t flush, and it smelled of cigarettes even though it was non smoking.

I do not recommend
The non-smoking rooming reeked of smoke. There were bugs (we think small roaches) through out the room. Service desk had me waiting without acknowledging me waiting for them. Bedding was shoddy. Pillows were sub par. Not enough towels. Just not a space I would recommend to anyone.

Booked a two bed, non smoking room over a month prior. They gave us a one bed and said there were no two beds available. Blanket was crusty and full of burn holes. Room smelled terrible, carpet was sticky. The back board on the bed was covered in residue. A roach fell on one of your faces in the middle of the night. Asked for an extra pillow but was told they were all out.

5 yrs ago when I stayed here it was exact. Room was nice.BUT this year I was extremely disappointed. The first room had a thick smoke smell. The host was surprised. I'm like no way I'm staying in that room. I have asthma and absolutely hate cigarettes smell. We got a different room. The 2nd room had door trim missing and you could literally see into the parking lot. The entire door trim on the top and side was missing. Big gaps on the side by the latch and you see sunshine and see out the door without even trying. We probably won't stay here again. A shame. The last time I stayed there it was fantastic. Not anymore. Ugggh. I'll stay elsewhere even if my favorite local hotel is 30 mins away in Marysville.
