Reviews
The hotel offers clean rooms and friendly staff, but guests frequently complain about the lack of cleanliness and maintenance in the bathrooms and common areas. The location is convenient for some, but others find it unsafe and unappealing.

Not much Absolutely NO hot water. The water wasn't even warm . Could not shower. I let it run several minutes thinking maybe the hot water heater wasn't close. That did not work.

The room was very very dirty. We didn’t even want to take a shower as the bathroom and walls and doors were filthy. Won’t ever go again.

We had to leave a day early bc my husband was getting welps all over his body face neck arms legs not sure y and then didn’t even get reimbursed for the day we didn’t stay they said they don’t do that. The first night we was there I was having to kill roaches, and there amities are not right for example it says they give u vouchers for breakfast they didn’t, they said they don’t do that either and it says in room massages they don’t do that either. They need to update picture’s and there amenities bc nothing matched.

The jacuzzi did not work and the first night there was no water. The walls had scracted out areas and a hole filled with what looked to be toothpaste. They did switch me out of the first room which was way worse and only one lock worked so the second room was safer.

The room was great! The place was clean and well maintained. It was much nicer than I thought it would be. I wish I had know it was so close to the train tracks. The train came through a few times that night and blew the horn waking me up.

Not much. . There was black mold in the bathroom where the shower stall was. I was in a handicapped room so the water spouts were on one side the shower head on the other it had a long hose that was held together with duct tape. There was only one towel for the whole facility. The toilet paper was not on the rack but elsewhere. There were holes in the doors in the bathroom and a crack in the wall in the hallway. The walls needed washing really bad. The rug had holes in it by the couch. The couch was up against the wall that had a door that must have been adjacent to the Next Room. The TV would not stay on and you had to fiddle with the side of the TV in order to get it to a channel as the remote control did not want to work. I had somebody in there two different occasions to get the TV to work. I was really not a happy camper about the whole thing. I put my own bedding on their bed because I did not trust it and I'm glad I did because during the night I Was Bitten on the back six different places by bed bugs. I do not recommend this place nor will I ever return there.

Seems like cleanliness leaves lots to be desired these days, room had sprayed but not wiped surfaces, smell from carpet, and general grime all about. The price was alright, but not worth the ask.

It was in the town with my family and conviently located to town. The first room had clear signs of bed bugs and when I brought it to his attention he told me no refund and put me in another room. The other room I didn't see signs of bed bugs but it was very damp the sheets felt wet there was so much moisture in the room I ended up not even staying the last night in town at the motel I stayed with family.

This was a booking that we had to make bc everything else was full. It wasnt bad. Just older and nothing special. I didn't see any bugs at all. A homeless guy wondering around made us a little nervous with a work trailer. But all in all it worked for the night.

I got the king suite for the jetted tub because I have back problems and that sounded like heaven on a long road trip. The first thing I noticed was that the toilet was dirty. It had that paper wrap around the seat that tells you it's been cleaned, but there was still a little poop in the bottom that had to be flushed away. There is mildew in the seams of the tub. Little rubber stopper doesn't fit properly; if you don't fill the tub very slowly at a trickle, the splashing knocks it out of the drain. I didn't use the jets because I was scared of what would come out of them. After filling the tub, the faucet continued to drip in a very unrelaxing way and i gave up after just a few minutes of soaking. The latch and lock on the door to the adjoining room are broken, it was held closed with a pocket knife jammed into the molding (the molding itself was loose enough that I could probably rip it right off the wall with one hand). It's a good thing I don't have a child to play with that knife. If someone with bad intentions was in that other room, they'd have no difficulty kicking it in. I stacked more furniture there as a barricade. There were also open bottles left in the freezer, the ironing board is disgusting, and the ice machine has clearly been broken for a long time.

The property is old. The bed are very comfortable. This place is super cheap but it’s comfortable and spacious. The mattresses are in covers to keep them clean. No signs of bugs. We didn’t use the shower so e we can’t speak to that.

I reserved a room through expedia.com and 6 hours later when i arrived they said they did not have a room for me. So i went to 3 other motels before i found a room

I reserved my room at 9:00 a.m. tried checking in at 1:00 p.m. my room was not ready they placed me in a different room and when I went into the room and turn the light on the ceiling was pouring water covering the floor I almost fell so I notified the front desk then they moved me to the room next to it it was not ready they had to replace the air conditioning floors were covered with footprints from mud the bathroom door did not shut correctly it was horrible it wasn't until almost 5:00 p.m. that I was able to get into my room which was very inconvenient I had to sit in the U-Haul for 4 hours

People was very nice and I had been in a accident and could hardly walk to get around so they gave me a room with easy access when they saw I was struggling during check in. I do love that I didn't have to pay or give card info until I got there it was so easy to cash check in. Great and simplest booking and check in I've had!

Tv was great, large unit, full size mirror in bathroom and more mirrors in suite. Front desk attendant offered to help us carry our stuff in when we showed up at 8pm. Great diner next door very affordable and delicious. There is a train that goes by but with the AC on you dont hear it. Only thing thatd make it better is having an outlet on both sides of the bed- but with my journey so far this roadtrip it doesnt seem like many hotels do that.

The property is cute. You can definitely tell it was once a charming place. The gentleman at the desk was very kind. We got the 1 room with 2 king size beds. I have a child that likes to toss & turn at night and my mom was traveling with us. So I wanted a bigger bed. Our room was nice until we went into the bathroom. There was makeup & toothpaste all over the sink. The toilet lid has cigarette burns all over it. The shower had a huge black ring around it and there were dead little bugs all over the floor. The AC unit squeaked all night. I'm glad the bed was comfortable.

Friendliest and most helpful staff I've ever met! Check in was smooth even though I arrived rather late. It only took a couple of minutes and I was in my room. The prices were very affordable too! The rooms are very spacious and clean and the beds are as comfy as my bed at home! The staff is eager and happy to accommodate your every need. And if all that's not enough, there is an awesome "home cooking" style diner right beside the motel! The food was great and so close you could just walk over and grab breakfast before you head out for your day. And the cinnamon rolls are to die for!!!

Water problems here. Only hot water, no cold, so the toilet only flushed once. The tank couldn’t fill because the cold water was shut off. We couldn’t take showers.

This is nothing but a trap motel. If you want to be up all night, whether it be because of people fighting in the surrounding rooms or because people in and out 24/7 high and doing drugs, then this is the place to be. All the light bulbs were missing, there was still things from the previous guest left in the room when i checked in. Door frame had come off when opened the door. Absolutely the worst place i have ever stayed my entire life!!

There isn't a pool or playground like it says. There wasn't a breakfast like i had seen at first then on another site i seen where u get a voucher for breakfast next door at an adjacent restaurant. The bathroom was dirty the tv didn't work half the time. My bed was comfortable but bedding was stained as well as towels and wash cloths.

I don't recommend people stay here. The room was dirty, there were stains on the linens, and the towels were paper thin and stained. According to Orbitz, there is a restaurant and bar, but all there is is a diner next door that doesn't serve alcohol.

It felt unsafe. At 4am, I got a call from the front desk saying there were complaints and police were called. Turns out there was a loud fight in room above. The car next to mine had its winfshield smashed. Two police came and interviewed me. I left at 5 am.
