Adequate for a quick overnight.

Could hear people above and to the sides of us, and it was normal traffic. Needed some cosmetic repair in bathroom. Bed was clean and fine. Staff good, price acceptable.

This hotel/motel is run down / dirty / needs basic maintenance. The linens are old and didn't feel clean.

2/10 Poor

The room was dirty. Mold on the walls and we found bed bugs on the bed. Everything was gross.
Brian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Misty, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Thankfully was only for 1 night

Staff was friendly. The room was hot when i got in, the ac wasnt putting out cold air, maybe cool air. No main lights, had 3 lamps, 1 had no bulb. Bathroom light took about 15 minutes to come on...The bed was about as hard as the floor. When i sat down, it didnt move. Pillows were big blobs, head went right to the bed when i laid down.

Rude manager ceiling falling in lights not working
Thomas, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bed bugs

There was a bed bug found on our bed. We packed our things in the car and went to discuss the issue with the office and her response was that her boss would be in at 8 am that we would have to come back then. She did not offer any kind of sympathy or anything. Had to ask her abt switching rooms bc we had no where to go and she couldnt give a refund or anything. Then she got a attitude and said she wasnt going to move us again.
Tyler, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was not what we expected. The doors for both the bathroom and the exterior were grimy. They had not been wiped down for months. The sheets had stains on them, even though they appeared clean. The entire room didn’t feel clean. On another note, Expedia was terrible. We drove all day. We were exhausted. When we arrived to get our room. The reservation through Expedia would not go through. We made several calls to Expedia, but we couldn’t talk to anyone. The call back time they said was 15 min, but it turned out to be 25 minutes. Then it was several minutes after a person called to finally get it right. Total time about an hour. The front desk says this happens periodically with Expedia. I really think I will avoid Expedia in the future.
June, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was horrible. I tried to give her my identification from the beginning because I knew she would need it and could possibly use it to look up the reservation. She didn’t take it, asked for my name, then proceeded to tell me she didn’t have a reservation for me. I started to panic but she had just smelled something incorrect. Then came back and asked for my identification. I did get a smoking room but it smelled really horribly, I didn’t want to eat my food inside the room. The tub had stains.
Jasmine, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worse stay ever.

We get to the room all seems find. The we had gray water that was coming from the ceiling above the toilet that well on me as i was using the restroom i reported it the i was moved to a double when i rented a king with no compensation just a "I'm sorry" which is a downgrade. Then they didnt fix it they just cleaned it and re-rented it to someone else. This was horrible. To the point we checked out early. Then at check out they say i own them MORE money for the room change. I wish i would have taken photos it was room123 tho!

Parking was terrible. Trucks with trailers took up 4 or more spaces. The room was dated and had no tv. There was a TV but no connection. The chain for security was broken off the door and just hung off the slot.
