I’m pregnant and came here to stay because I was low on money. The room had no working ac/heat and when we complained the hotel manager said we lied without even checking. He then called to leave a voicemail after we left that he thinks we smoked and took 50$. I’m pregnant and don’t smoke and can’t be around smoke so this is extremely sad. I feel like I’ve been scammed.

Made my nose bleed
No mention of a $50 damage deposit when booking that was due at check-in. I'm 66 with good credit. The room had an overwhelming chemical smell from room deodorizers or cleaning products. So much so that it caused my sinuses to bleed. Did someone die in there? was someone making meth? Ironically it was a no-smoking room that still smelled a bit of cigarette smoke. However, the room and hallways were clean. Although the shower stall was slightly smaller than a coffin.

This was an unexpected surprise for an older property as our stay here was quite comfortable. The king size bed was very nice, the area was quiet, the shower had good water pressure and the price was great. We weren't expecting much but we actually stayed another night because it was so convenient and comfortable. We would definitely recommend it and will stay here again when visiting the area.

I DID NOT LIKE MY ROOM. IT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOOR TO GO IN AND OUT AND PEOPLE WOULD SLAM IT SHUT, SO IT WAS QUITE ANNOYING AND KEPT WAKING ME UP. OTHERWISE IT WAS OK, STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND THOUGHT OF YOUR SAFETY BY GIVING YOU SOME HAND SANITIZER.

Not happy
The stay was okay... They took a 50 dollar deposit.. that I didn't know about. Then when we checked out they tried to say we smoked in the room. They didn't want to give back the deposit... They did finally did give it back the deposit when I didn't back down.

Like someone else said, it was difficult to find and it would have been more difficult had it been dark. Very noisy guests, doors beween rooms made me feel unsafe, especially when someone in the next room said "do you think this door is locked"? The office was grimy, the manager was nice.

Entrance is not marked very well. They want to charge a $50 deposit, there are people living here there was a guy grilling food in a parking spot when I pulled in, the best are terrible not comfortable at all. The main light was like a strobe light just blinked. I won’t stay here again.

Response from Management on Aug 31, 2021
When you reserved room, it said under policy that a incidental deposit is needed. Upon showing you the policy for deposit when checking in, I rented you the room even though you refused to pay the deposit. If the light is not working then you can inform to office, it is electrical device so it can cause failure anytime. Anyone can grill food outside on property, it is not safe to grill inside room.

Good for the money
Just a little motel. The outside seems a little run down and in a very odd location, but inside the rooms were clean and comfortable with all the amenities you’d expect. Finding it is difficult, very little signage and in an industrial park it doesn’t seem like you are at the right place, but beyond that, if you are looking for a cheap place to sleep in the area, it’s great for that.

We arrived late around 4am and check out the next day was 11am . When we got there we were told we would have to put a 50.00 cash deposit down which we weren’t aware of before . When we checked out the next morning the owner of the property went to go check our room so we could get our deposit back , he told us there was four towels missing and two hand towels . I reassured him that I wouldn’t steal any towels and how there was none in our hotel room the night before . He then proceeded on again how there was no towels and they were all missing, I told him I would go get my bags to prove that I didn’t steal anything from The room, I was super upset and offended. After I said this he said there was no need and gave us our deposit back . We won’t be coming back , we didn’t feel safe after this.

The property was very nice, but finding it is difficult. The highway put in one year ago has blocked direct access and partially hidden it. Better and bigger signage would improve it.

We stayed for one night, but were gone most of the time. It was quiet besides the highway traffic. Was happy for the price paid. We did not seek out amenities—it was literally just a room to shower, keep our belongings and to sleep between events. Gentleman at the front desk was kind and friendly.

It was very clean. Friendly. O enjoy walkong out my room door to the outside. Ut also had an oven stove combo and microwave full kitchen sink. Stand up shower. Awesome beds.. slept like i was at home.. The only down fall was the 50.00 deposit. Had i known in advance. I would have gone to cash machine and paid cash. Since i used my cc. I will not see it back on my card for 7 to 10 days. This is standard. With my credit union. Not all banking establishments are the same.
