The property is not well maintained. I was first given a "smoking" room, but staff was compliant in allowing me to change rooms. The second room had a defect in the door lock which would not allow me to keep the room secure in my absence. The last room that they gave me had several things wrong, including a mis-sized toilet seat, a missing security bar on the door, some missing floor finish, and I killed a few bugs in the room. I slept in my clothes because I was a little worried about the possibility of bedbugs. The hotel was well located for my purposes, but it needs some investment to bring the rooms up to standard.
The people in the office is really friendly always smiling

Pool was dirty and doesnt seem to be maintained. Staff was accomodating to get us a non smoking room when a smoking was accidentally booked. A decent place to stay if youre in the area.
Decor was certainly royal looking. Sign out front was old but the room was recently redone and very nice. No coffee, no breakfast. Had a fridge and microwave and was clean and comfortable.
Only complaints are the towels are sooooooo small & no iron in the room. But other than that, for the price - the room was nice & clean and the bed was comfy.

Owner ran my card multiple times, charged and reversed multiple times, tying up over $300 for a75 dollar room, and came to me after checking in asking for a $20 pet charge that was not advertised. Other staff and property was fine.

Comfortable bed and secure rooms. Could be cleaner. Failed the white sock test. Their website stated voffee maker in each room but there is none. When approaching the front desk about it they just shook their head and shrugged their shoulders.
My husband is handicapped and the staff seeing this offered to help me get my things into the room. There is plenty of places to eat around it and the Fairgrounds is very close to the motel.
All around comfortable stay for the money.
Clean and simple stay, no great amenities. Towels weren't soft, no coffee in room or breakfast available. If you want simply basic accommodations, this is fine. So the price reflected this. There was an issue with my name and my customer staying for payment which took a minute of discussion, but was resolved. It had to do with ID and payment card of me and my guest. Frustrating, but finally resolved.
This property is EXTREMELY outdated and DIRTY! The bed sheets were clean. The rest of room was FILTHY!!! Dirty floor that made bottom of socks dirty. Fridge was filthy and and yellowing.Freezer needed to be defrosted. Plug in for phone or electronics was next to tv dresser that looked like a phone switchboard. Lamps blinking and old. Phone was black with dirt. Bathroom filthy and hair everywhere. Towels were stained and not enough in room.the door had a 1 inch gab where wind, bugs and light shined through. The room had MOLD and smelled. I don't think ANY site should endorse or have them on there site...This was worst experience in my life of traveling!!!

The stay was exactly what we expected given an economy hotel. The price was outstanding, the room was comfortable (if dated) and the staff were pleasant. No major problems at all.
It clearly wasn’t the Hilton, but we expected that going in, and tempered our expectations to what we were paying for the stay. All in all, it was a pleasant stay that met our needs at a great price.
Shops nearby but I will never stay here again.it wasn't clean and there was long hair and pubes in the bathroom and the floor was disgusting,no lights was actually plugged in.this is as bad as motel 6
