Bathroom floor was dirty behind the door. There were several cockroaches. Had to ask for tp and towels. Old food in the fridge and microwave. A man's dog was hit on the road. He was very distraught. Rather than offer any condolence kindness, the owner called the police.. 10/10 would avoid this place.

IF I WAS A VETERINARIAN I WON'T HAVE CALLED THE POLICE BUT I AM NOT SO I CALLED THE PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP IN THE MOMENT AND I THOUGHT PEOPLE DO CALL POLICE WHEN THEY NEED HELP OR IF THEY SEE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING HIT BY ON THE ROAD. oh and We like to apologize for cockroaches as we have let our pest control company known the issue with the room you stayed in.

The man who checked us in was very nice, and you can tell the rooms were remodeled and our room was very clean. But the the shower didn't drain and the room we were moved to ended up being occuped by someone else. Also, there was a man lingering in the parking lot who appeared to be on something. So my child and I decided to leave and find somewhere else to stay.

The people who operate this property are amazing. They were very good to me the whole time I stayed here. One time something was wrong with my lock on the door and I couldn't get into my room. They got their mechanic there to fix it for me immediately. I felt very safe and supported. My room was clean. I would definitely stay at this property again.

It is clear that the owners are trying to make some property improvements, but I think the facility is just too far gone. The room was very "tired" even though they have done a few remodel things. The paint on the wall is grey with paint patching with a not-very-close different shade of grey slapped on in several places. the floors had not been swept in some time; obvious because of the dust bunnies behind the doors. I am not sure what stain was on the back of the entrance door. The shower was temperamental to say the least. I still don't know how we got the shower to a decent temperature but once one of us got it to not scald us, we just left it on until the other of us got into the shower. The ceiling tile was a few different shades of white; some of the lights were not plugged in, the TV worked for the most part etc. etc. etc. On the positive side, the sheets were clean and I think the bedspread was new. Oh, and the train coming by a few times that night didn't help.

It looked nice from the outside. The first room that was actually reserved for us was nice, clean, recently remodeled. The floor was sticky. Made a noise when we walked on it. So the manager gave us a different room that was also nice. The floor in the first room probably needs to be stripped & refinished. Something must have made the wax or finish start to dissolve & so was sticky.

Check in time was at 3 pm according to reservation. While shopping in town i recieved a call at 130 pm from the motel asking if we were still coming and was told the room was ready and we could come and check in at anytime. Arrived about 2pm guy at the desk who admitted he had called me stated the room wasn't ready but we could pay an extra 5.00 to go ahead and check in early. I declined we came back at 3 room still wasn't ready. Manager checked us in we paid with cash. Bill was 94.00 plus a 50.00 deposit which ive never heard of before. We gave him 200.00 for which he couldn't make change and wrote on the receipt we would get our 100 back upon checking out. We did get it back but it felt shady. As far as the room went it was fine

Making huge efforts
My family's stay at Executive Inn was a positive one. The motel had a former reputation that was not very favorable, but the management is showing they are doing all they can to turn that around. The rooms were very clean and rennovated. The beds were very comfortable. My brother, who is very picky about hotel beds and their comfort level, said it was very comfortable and he slept well. I felt the same about my bed. The management was very accommodating and helpful when we had some TV issues, coming to our room right away to help us get it fixed. I hope visitors give the place a try and find that the new management is trying to leave past perceptions of the motel in the past and provide an enjoyable experience at an affordable price.

I would hope that a true executive could find accommodations more fitting for the title he/she holds. From no ice bucket to a frozen mini fridge, faucet that swiveled around and around on sink, hot water that worked occasionally, outside light gaps in door bottom and side which allowed two spiders and several fly's into the room space, flat screen that took two remotes to operate. This is a minimalist facility for those looking for a supposedly cheep room and definitely not worth the price paid. The manager was nice enough and polite but not very realistic on the description online or with your reservation company. They also have a rent by the week and month section as part of the facility with lawn chairs and garbage cans sitting outside the rooms.

Sorry about the 2 remote box as we wanted to have guest with smart TV for more memorable experience as now days everyone loves Netflix or Hulu. We do have some retired veterans who stays with us due to Walmart being next door and everything is within the walking distance, that I would continually rent for however long they like to stay as showing our appreciation for their services to this wonderful country of ours.
