Room was pretty dusty and dirty. I checked in next to mid night and have to leave really early in the morning. I could not cancel the room due to time constraints. Besides the dirty floors, the worst was the bathroom, it was moldy, old and dirty.

Had to stay two weeks in this property, breakfast was free but lacking. My room was spacious but tub and bathroom were not great. Staff was friendly, property was not as cared for as it could be. Trash was in hall/stairwells, the grounds need some regular checks and sprucing.

The place in general was really not bad, the rooms were very spacious. It was a little run down, but not too bad. The only bad thing I can really say is, don't get any rooms in building A, unless you are a deep sleeper. Building A is right next to the road, and you hear every loud car or motorcycle driving by.

Arrived and there were people hanging out in front. A guy snoring in a chair. Check in ok. Went to our room there was a large spill in front of our door The room had a spill on the floor, the bed sheets were dirty. Slept on top. I found a room attendant next morning asked for new sheets to be placed. Which she did. However, did not clean room for 3 days, empty garbage at all. We had 1 towel for 2 people. The shower handle fell off when we used it, shower doors not sealed so water all over floor. Changed our towels and took dirty ones on 3rd day. Left us 1 towel again. The spill out front of door was not cleaned up till our last day. The piece de resistance is they had bed bugs. My husband is bit all over. And now comes the decontamination of everything.

The room was fine inside, but needed some updates, safety lock was coming unscrewed, shade would not stay down. The kitchen was nice and everything seemed clean except for the mattress on the pull out bed was gross (hair and dust). The outside area and parking was disgusting. There was a dirty sock on the stairs for 4 days, along with food, poop and other random junk. We only got one towel set for our room to start and no housekeeping (which is fine) but then had to ask every time we needed towels and toilet paper. There was only one remote for 2 TVs so we had to go back and forth when someone needed it. We asked the desk and they said they would find one, we never got one. The toilet was so old and barely had any water in it so it clogged easily. We asked for a plunger but they said they were out and had to wait for maintenance to come (also never came) so we had to go buy one.

Not great
Well the room was not very clean and did not have towels. We asked for towels and never received them. We eneded up going to the store to buy towels. The couch cushions were dirty and stained. At night there was a lot of noise from the homeless people hanging around the parking lot. There were homeless people in the stairwell. The hotel could be a good option if the safety concerns were to get addressed. The breakfast was good and that was about it.

Better than expected
For the price, this motel was great. It had newer rooms that were freshly painted and clean. It seemed like an older place, but it was fixed up and felt safe. This is still very much a discount motel though, it just looks nicer. The downsides: slow internet and bright lights. I was getting less than 10mbps. Also, they switched over to plantstion style shutters in the room, which look nice, but allow a lot of light in at night. The motel uses super bright lights outside for safety and it bleeds through the shutters. I would wake up in the middle of the night and think it was 7am only to find out it was 2am.
