Room air conditioner was really full of dust, pillows could use an upgrade, shower rod and towel rack coming away from the walls. The breakfast is nothing to bragg about. Not much to choose from, plus I'm gluten free. Vending machine didn't have hardly anything in it and the water was out! I asked the desk clerk for some. The people at the front desk were all very nice. I have to admit that I didn't feel safe. A lot of scary people hanging around!!!

I travel for work and stay in hotels 5-6 nights a week. I’ve stayed here on multiple occasions while traveling through the area and never had any issues. The rooms are always clean and have everything you need. The hotel has a nice atmosphere and is close to restaurants. The staff has always been friendly and helpful and the price is very reasonable. Overall it’s a good place to rest for the night.

Good enough. The rooms were fine. Old but clean. The shower drain was clogged. Breakfast was mostly good just waffles cereal muffins fruit orange juice and milk. The milk tasted sour so it was probably just sitting too long. Everything overall was still good.

We've stayed in 7 different motels in the last 9 days. This one was nice. Clean room. Recently painted. Staff were friendly. At this price point, for this area, it was perfect! Shower was nice and worked just fine. The room was clean and secure, and relatively quiet, even for a Saturday night! If you're expecting a 4+star motel, this isn't the place for you. If you are used to 2-3star motels, this one was perfectly adequate!

I mean, I came here early you know from New York but overall experience was peaceful and nice other than I stepped away for a few hours, but came back. You know my baby wipes were thrown away and other stuff but I guess they forgot that I was still staying there but other than that The staff was pretty all right thank you

Deb Im not sure how to spell her first name debria? anyways she works 3rd shift she has to be the nicest person we have met so far on vacation. Heart of gold. We had a few small issues but Deb took the time to help me and get things corrected. Over all the room was clean. Great service, knowledgeable about the area, Side note do not give any hotel a negative review bc you went to on a 3rd party site like Expedia or whatever. That means the hotel did not take your money I use to work in hotels I can't count how many ppl came into one of the hotels I worked at (in Ohio) who would get all upset just refund me... They can't refund something Ithat was giving to someone else. They say But I made it yes you did for tomorrow night.. can't you just switch it to today...switch what ???? you gave them nothing.you gave someone else your money not the hotel. Leave the bad review on that 3rd party site..

Stayed for a month.. it’s been nice & quiet. Some nights the parking lot is empty, some nights it’s full of vehicles & yes there are people outside during REASONABLE hours of the night grilling food, & sitting around but they are not being loud nor obnoxious, everyone is respectful & considerate of others around. The ladies up front are nice, the man Sam is always going above & beyond. The staff does their job while also giving you space during your stay. 10/10 recommend
