I liked the price and for an older property it was pretty clean. Bath fixtures and beds were clean. It smelled clean! Floor is tile, and I couldn't tell. I have three minor critiques. I ran the hot water a long time, and it didn't get hot. The stopper in sink did not work. There was no clothes rod to hang clothes other than the shower curtain rod. For a cheap property, it was not bad.

Needs a lot of repairs. Go somewhere else
Cigarette hole in comforter, water bugs running around sink area spiders and bed bugs. Door did not seal let light in. Smoke detector not installed was in a draw. Our room was near laundry service water leaking into parking lot.

This place is horrible. I was just staying here 1 night before going hunting early am so you would think you could deal with an old outdated room if only clean. Where do I start, pulled back the bed cover and the sheets were filthy, there was mold growing in the shower and bathroom vanity. The walls looked like someone had smeared dirt, hopefully it was dirt! The smoke detector was laying on the dresser no battery and it looked like had caught on fire at some point. Then there are the electrical outlets, 3 with no covers and one near the sink. My son in law stayed in a two bedroom and it was slightly better but still smelled like smoke and wet dog in a non smoking room. Do not let the reviews fool you it has to be a friend of the owners trying to offset the poor ratings.

Yuck
First I could not find the room , numbers were not very clear and small. Then my key didn't work, had to go back to the office. No shower, equipment was there but missing the divot to chance from faucet to shower. Room was Sahara desert hot. The air conditioner took almost till morning to cool room. Cheap hotel, I guess you get what you pay for

I was impressed with how good the hotel was. It had a good price for the 2 nights that me and my girlfriend were there. Even though the room key kept acting up the employees were apologetic and tried their best and they were very respectful. I would definitely be returning in the near future

Less than stellar
Facility looks good from the outside, but ends there. The room was badly outdated. Very dirty, although the bedding was clean. The chairs were broken and could not be sat in. Towels and wash clothes were stained. The shower was dirty. The mattress was worn out. Overall this facility needs alot of maintence and up grades. Will not stay here again.

I wont be staying here ever again!
Our stay was not the best..we purchased a 2 bed room for the night and let me tell you what was wrong from the beginning...the man that checked us in was rude and got mad at us cuz he couldnt understand what we were saying ..got into the room and it was stuffy..no big deal just need to turn the air conditioning on...turned it on high and aet it to a low temp to cool the room off faster..it barely blew..we had to go get a fan from Walmart..there were cigarette burns in both of the beds blankets (we got a non smoking room)..pieces of cigarettes and whole ones in the corner..the "clothes storage" was an old entertainment center and had a door duct taped shut..the fire alarm had electrical tape over the holes that makes it work..shower xurtain was a fabric curtain with no liner so when we showered the bathroom flooded..literally..the door to the room had no seal you can aee daylight all around the door..

Staff was friendly, room was NOT
We had reserved the room for 2 days due to a wedding. We weren’t expecting much other than a place to sleep and shower. Check in was pleasant and staff was courteous and friendly. First issue was locating the room numbers. All the rooms were on ground level and outside. The room numbers are on a small plate next to the door and could not be seen while driving through the parking lot. When we opened the room, it smelled terrible, like a dirty hamper. The refrigerator was unplugged from the wall and the cord was holding the door ajar. The blanket on the bed not only had holes and stains on it, but it was so thin it would not have done much. Pulling the blanket off only revealed sheets that looked like they were rinsed in a mud puddle and hung out to dry before being put back on the bed. Pillows were as gross. The mirror had finger marks from the top to the bottom as if someone drug their fingers down it while being murdered. So needless to say, after the roaches starting coming out and the air conditioner did not work, we had to get out of there.

I will start by saying this was the nastiest motel I have ever stayed at in my life!! I don't know how they haven't been shut down due to unsafe and unclean environments. First I will tell you what me and my husband saw and went through. Do not be fooled by the pictures they have on the web. They make you think it is a nice place for you and your family. When we got to the room the key card did not work right! If there was a fire you would not be able to get in! Then finally my husband got us in. Let me tell you this room was what horrors are made of! Before I would sit anything on the table I took our wipes and wiped off the table and the wipe was dark with grime and lord knows what. There was hair, insects and the floor in the bathroom area soaked our feet and under the sink the cabinet was nailed shut! The bathroom floor soaked and toilet did not flush right. The tub and shower so nasty we didn't use it. Everywhere you looked was nasty. I did not sleep all night. I am a bad diabetic and it was horrible. Owner was rude and the staff. We set up for the 100 mile yard sale and we left sunday morning because I was so sick. Lost that income. I took pictures and video! For your health do not stay there. We will never go back there again! I also got a bite on my arm and my husband slept a few hours on the top of the covers. Thank the lord I had some bedding in our SUV. I finally had enough and let them know how nasty which they denied. Never again!!! Horrible place!

While this was convenient to where we were headed, it is not what we expected based on the other reviews. Slow check-in, first room heater didn’t work and made a terrible noise. The smoke detector in our room was covered in tinfoil and the mini frig wasn’t even plugged in. The beds were okay and thankfully clean. Wish we had just stayed in a bigger hotel and paid the higher price tag for a better experience.
