Nobody on site for this checkin. Had a video screen asking for my I.D. and credit card and the person had a foreign accent. I was not comfortable with the unusual arrangement and will never stay at this Hotel. We went to another normal hotel.
Great no frills motel for business trip. Clean and comfortable, in room coffee pods. Virtual receptionist was very polite and got me checked in quickly. Will stay here again
Check in was completely remote. No onsite support whatsoever. Room was tiny, not like the pictures advertised. Coffee counter/working desk was dirty. Bathroom was dirty also. You’re better off staying at a Motel 6! Room also had a weird Oder/smell. We lasted an hour and left for a different hotel.
Very clean and nice updated interior. Strange check in though as there is no staff on site so you use a screen to access a person who checks you in. Didn’t effect our stay at all but important to know.
Every thing was okay, we have stayed here many times without issue, but this time our room shower, had no hot water at all. Im not exaggerating, not even luke warm. We had to take freezing cold showers. Not so great after a 2 day sports event. I was hoping the hotel would make it right somehow, but they just said " sorry " .

Travelled with family, Travelled with family and small children
Unfortunately the reviews about poor cleanliness were true. The bathroom floor was literally the dirtiest floor I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to a lot Of third world countries. It’s basically black in all the grout and my child’s socks were completely black walking on the floor. I had to apologize to family members who also got a room there because of me because they had pubic hair on their bathroom floor. One bed was supposed to be a king it was a double or smaller. And all the beds were horribly uncomfortable. It looks like they renovated a few years ago and had cute decorations but it was very poorly kept up. There’s no staff in the office so it probably contributes to the poor upkeep of the place. I do not recommend unless your just looking for an average Motel that is not clean or comfortable.
ITS NOT A HOTEL and NO FRONT DESK STAFF
this is a 2 story motel. no lobby, no eating area.
and no desk clerk. you walk into the lobby and speak to a person from a computer screen.
it was clean and comfy BUT NOT A REAL HOTEL.
