The staff was very friendly. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable; the pillows were very flat. Breakfast consisted of instant oatmeal, dry cereal, or toast/bagels. I would have liked some fresh fruit, a yogurt, or some hard-boiled eggs-something with protein.

The man working the front desk was very nice. The hotel looks nothing like the pictures. When we checked into the room the door looked like someone had tried breaking in with a crow bar. The wall was peeling off and the bathtub had black stuff all around on top. I wasn’t comfortable staying there so we left immediately.

Decent night stay

The rooms were in good condition with comfortable beds. The hotel was not very full and we were placed in the room around the back of the hotel. Parking lot was not very well lit but the room was quiet. We were traveling with a dog and they were accommodating with a ground level room.

Basic hotel from the 1980 s. Clean inside no carpet. Pet friendly no extra charge. No coffee pot in room. Just a pit stop for our one nite stay.

Motel is right off the interstate however shared a parking lot with a gas station and is a bit noisy. Our one night stay was ok but a busy summer night could be disturbing. Refurbished motel was a good value, comfortable, clean and good for a one night road trip. Except if it’s busy outside and the noise could ruin it all.

Bad

3rd time is not a charm... 1st room was awesome... 2nd stay the room was ok... 3rd time around... I had to shove the door open & when closed the door was not sealed on top, there was a hole like it was kicked in by the door, the tub had a really bad black spot in it, the floor was not clean looking the bedspread had stains on it & when complained to staff, their response was very rude. Not staying there again
