    The front desk representative was very helpful and accommodating, and our experience checking in and out very positive. Separately, however, the condition of the facilities and overall cleanliness (or, perhaps more appropriately, lack of cleanliness) left much to be desired. Fortunately, the window air conditioner units were fully functional, and kept the rooms cool.

    Front desk night manager was very helpful and accommodating. Very good customer service.

    The bathroom and sleeping quarters has black mold. The tub was filthy. The maid forgot to clean my room prior to check in and they rushed to clean it. Door didn’t lock properly. They charged me twice for one night stay. The room was worth $20 at most not $64. Everything was gross. The free Wi-Fi they advertised didn’t work. I didn’t have phone reception so I was mislead that the internet worked. I would highly recommend sleeping in your vehicle instead. If you don’t believe me go see for yourself.

    The staff was very nice and respectful.

    There wasn't a coffeemaker in the room, or cups and things like soap and shampoo, but again, since I was visiting relatives, it was no problem.

    Since I was there to visit family, I only used the motel for sleeping. I'd get there around 10-10:30 at night and leave as soon as I got up in the morning, so it was perfect for my needs.

    Every thing. I was moved to three different rooms. Due to the rooms being very disgusting, roaches in the rooms, broken shower faucets, mold on the ceilings and the air conditioners, two of the toilets leaked into the floor. Showers were very dirty. Floors were very very dirty. Towels were the size of hand towels.

    Nothing.

    Arrived late night, no other available hotels, the smell of the room was overwhelming, the bath room was stained, missing tiles, and leaking water. The air conditioner looked like is was filled with stuff, we never turned it on. Got a few hours of sleep, left by 5am. Brushed teeth in parking lot with bottled water because we would not use the bathroom. Thank god I only had my boys; otherwise, I’d be divorced by now.

    No ice machine and air conditional controls were odd. Air conditioner worked fine once I figured out how to set it.

    Room was clean, staff was friendly. Building was older but in good shape, I was not expecting the ritz. I would stay there again, for the money it was worth it.

    The property is off the interstate and alone which isn’t bad. But the rooms are horrible. Truly they are. The sheets and bed pillows are yellow from how old they are. The mattresses are brown and super old. Our room smelled like cigarettes. The bathroom was worst. The shower curtain had mold and was yellow as well and their were boards behind the toilet telling you not to move them because they were holding up the wall. I honestly don’t know how the health department has not closed them down yet. We had our kids sleep fully clothed and slept about 5 hours and woke up and left. Please read reviews listen to what majority people are writing. This was the one hotel on our cross country trip that I booked on a whim. It was gross.

    The place is so old & the carpet was ripped & filthy. It had a microwave & mini fridge but I had to move them to reach a plug in. I’m not sure but I think some of the guys outside partying live there! It definitely was a no frills place & could use a good cleaning!

    No breakfast... the beds were very old but surprisingly comfortable
