Toilet was tippy, needed a new seal. Door handle to outside was loose. I used a wooden chair to lock the door. Breakfast was a joke. Definitely not worth the money I spent on it. I’ll never return to this motel.

Bed spread, sheets, pillow cases and towels were stained. Way over priced for the outdated motel. Oatmeal snack for breakfast. It would be my last choice but you will be able to get some sleep.

While trying to economize, we had not expected the poor quality / cleanliness that we received. The comforters had cigarette burns, and when pulled down we saw that only a single sheet covered the mattress. The pillow cases had an aroma of smoke, covered by a floral scent. There were no towels available in the room, and we not not feel like climbing back down the stairway to inquire or ask for them. Several groups of people were gathered at the lower level, although there were few vehicles present.

Needs improvement.
Room it’s self was ok , no, it was half the size in footage that you advertised. I stayed there about 12 years ago and it was much nicer than it is now. I wont stay again. On a good note, the manager and staff were good, helpful and polite. Hotels, located within walking distance of downtown only couple blocks.

Substandard
The sheets on the bed were so old they were piled. There was no coffee maker. The steps leading up to the room were filthy. The pillows on the bed did not have traditional cases and were not comfortable. The bathroom amenities include a minute bar of soap and small packet of shampoo/conditioner. The price was ridiculous for that room.
