Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Overall very nice stay. Could use some minor cleaning. Ice machine is in an inconvenient spot. The neighborhoods close to the hotel look pretty rough. For the price it was a very good stay.
Basic and reasonable, but what is it with American motels not mopping the floor!
Anyway this place is basic, convenient to highway, and room was quiet. There was ok room service for a 2 night stay, but the guy who checked us in was very helpful and gave us some restaurant/bar suggestions.
Property was clean, comfortable and freshly remodeled. The clerk and staff were appreciative and attentive.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Bed was comfortable. In general, the room was very nice & clean, but the tub had a lot of rust spots & there were a lot of little pieces of napkins & trash, etc.on the grass areas and in the parking lot. I would stay there again, but would like them to fix the tub and clean up debris outside.
only issue we had was the room was damp. not sure if this is an air conditioning issue, but we noticed our clothes after hanging in the room for over 24 hours, were all damp. other than that, great room, great people working there, and everyone staying were nice as well.
We didn't like how clean the bed was, then my wife notices something sticking out under the bed. So we slide the bed to the side and there was filthiness all under the bed. Told management and they gave us another room and the same filthiness under that bed. Send a straw and plastic bag someone had use to do drugs. The man who probably own it came and send it and said he was so sorry. He open another room and said please stay. My wife slide that bed to the side and filthy to. I have photos. They need to shut that motel down and really clean under the beds and a good cleaning to all of the rooms. The rooms are remodeled. It is just the nastiness and it ain't acceptable
The room could use a little TLC but was clean, comfortable and suited my needs. The staff was amazing! They accommodated my need for an early check in and were very friendly. Check in and check out were quick and easy.
The front desk agent was nice upon check in then after advising him of the initial room we checked into conditions, he began to be rude. There was hair and cobwebs everywhere and the towels were dirty. There was food behind the bed as well ass food stains on the floor.
The first two nights were okay but the third night wasn't manger banned us after we asked for clean sheets because of bugs in the bed, we were told housekeeping wasn't available until morning so naturally we asked for a different room upon attempting to check-in the following day we were notified we were banned as per management
The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and the ac was cold. It looks a little sketchy from the outside but I ended up staying three nights. I’d stay here again!
