    For some reason you have to put a deposit on the room, even if you already paid for the room when you booked it online, for whether you want a smoking or non-smoking room. I had to ask the lady about getting it back when I checked out or I probably wouldn't have got it back.

    Decent location. Not real close to anything. Attached to a gas station/convenience store. Good hotel for someone going to the racetrack.

    The owners or who ever runs the place, have an awful attitude. They act like you are bothering them while you check in or ask them a question.

    The attitude from the guy that runs the place the slickness the sneaky underhanded stuff to keep your money

    I mean it's a nice place it's next to the BP however as far as staff the wife is fine but the husband that runs the place is a have a bit of an attitude problem kind of mean and looking for ways to keep your money also I just feel that with the price of the hotel I mean it's it's nice for for the price but it's the motive of trying to get more money out of you or to keep you know keep your money

    No breakfast, rather sparse things like a box of Kleenex and not great surroundings. But again, a value stop!

    Daily room service. A moderate motel that offers a good value for the price. Not a place my wife would like but it's location and price 5 minutes from the raceway made it a good selection for race weekend.

    Asked for $10 Deposit. I had to ask for the deposit back in the morning. If I didn't, I'm pretty sure, motel would have kept the $10 deposit. $10 isn't $10, when the minimum wage is $7.25/hour. That's 83 minutes to make $10.

    The owner yelled at me after I checked and was having my son and daughter help me carry my bags to my room the owner started screaming at me that my friends had to leave and it was my kids just helping me. And he was very rude at my check in.

    The bed was soft and big and clean. The room was decently cleaned. Heat worked well. Icebox worked great. Very comfortable and quiet

    Sounded like the child upstairs was running and slamming things until about 4am. Not located in the most desirable area. Don't search for rooms when you're falling asleep!

    The bed was extremely comfy & we enjoyed the spa tub. Staff was pleasant & fees were very economic.

    It was a lot cleaner than I was expecting. It was just a place to lay our heads for a few hours. It was perfect for what we needed. I thought it may be sketchy and dirty but was pleasantly surprised.
