Staff were nice and room was clean. There was no remote control for the TV in the room, the Kleenex dispenser was empty and the wheels on the desk chair were broken. Experience was okay, but simple changes would make it much better.

Low tier stay
I booked one queen since bed and they gave me two full size beds. Cleanliness was not present as the walls had stains all over the room of some red substance. The toilet had running water as the chain was probably broken and the water stained draining and caused an annoyingly constant sound all night. The restroom was very small. The pillows also smelled like head/ scalp. I guess we payed for what we got but I have stayed at similar priced hotels with far higher standards.

Horrifying. Do not book.
We did not stay here. This hotel was scary. We were concerned for our safety to spend the night here. The room reeked of smoke and I am pregnant so this was not an option for us to stay. We arrived from a long day of travel at 10pm and had to abandon our reservation due to safety concerns.

Misleading Reviews
We stopped in our our way back home for a quick rest and regret that decision. I looked through all the photos (out dated- nothing looks the same in those photos) and recent reviews. Upon seeing several 8/10 to 10/10 reviews and then seeing the state of the motel and rooms- I have to ask myself were people given comped rooms for their dishonesty! The environment around the motel smelled of stale urine and garbage. Every door to each room had dents- how they got there unknown but didn’t give the illusion of safety. The room itself had missing chunks of lament flooring, a toilet that wasn’t secured, dry rot/mildew in the tub and baseboards, and at least 4 creepy crawly cockroach friends. Overall misleading reviews, pictures, and description of this motel. Do yourselves a favor and stay literally anywhere but here.

Worst experience ive had, they overbooked the hotel and left me without a room, idk and most likely they gave my reserved room to somebody else and the front desk lady was the worst thing, couldn’t even offer a resolution. Now im waiting for a refund for something I didn’t receive
