The staff messed up my booking request. Once they asked that I leave even though I reserved the room. Then they called when I was 300 miles away to confirm my reservation for a night I did not book.

The area is noisy, and the beds are on some sort of metal base that goes boing every time you move.

Good stay. traveling and needed a one night stay. Price was right, and although an older hotel, it was clean and served the purpose. Note; It is close to restaurants and has a mediocre breakfast, but good enough to get going !

This hotel defines the word, basic. Old rooms with no outlets. The TV was on a switched plug as was the microwave. The noisy air conditioner was unplugged. The tub dripped constantly. It was a room for the night. That's it

The drop ceilings in our room were saggy and had water marks. The tub was rusted and not clean. The bed was very stiff. The front desk was so nice, but we did not stay the second night due to the conditions of our room. We moved hotels. No refund provided. We stayed in the building by the laundry.

Not great.
I have trouble believing the reviews for this motel. The stairwell is falling apart. The first room had cockroaches. The second room I didn't see cockroaches but there were flies. The carpeting was filthy. The bedding and linens were clean. The bed was comfortable. I was only there for a pitstop after driving all day. I guess you get what you pay for. I stayed there 3-4 years ago and I remember it to be decent for the $$. After this last visit, I won't be back.
