The area was a bit sketchy, but I never felt unsafe. I was woken up several time during the 3 nights with sirens- which I know they couldn't do anything about. We didn't always have hot water. Which after being at a festival all day sweating and hair full of dust was irritating. The bathtub had been painted and was peeling. The room was clean, bedding and floors clean. Owners were very friendly and pleasant. Would stay again.

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 as, but good enough
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.

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.

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.
