Parking was OK and secure. Very low budget but you get what you pay for. Room was clean but very minimal. The only amenity was a small soap bar and a packet of shampoo. TV was all commercials. Poor lighting. Electrical switch in bath was hanging out of the wall when I got there. Very loud at night as it was right along the busy road. First day my room was not cleaned. Manager told me it was because I never asked them to clean it. If you can afford better, keep looking around. Would definitely not stay there again.
Better options near by for same price or better ! The room was smaller than we expected and owners were not very friendly and couldn’t even have guest stop by real quick cause they were all in the business
Staff was nice and service was quick. Room was clean enough. There was some dust on the floors. Outside is very loud and the refrigerator makes a noise every so often, but we were still able to get a decent sleep. Mattress was VERY firm. For those who prefer a soft bed, you will not be comfortable here. Not perfect, not bad either.
Horrible! I’f I could give 0 stars I would! Room was very smelly, dirty sheets still had stains and hairs from the previous people. Horrible service. They left toilet paper half ways. No shampoo and no soaps. They asked for a deposit in cash seems very sketchy. Area very loud at night you can’t sleep. Do your self a favor go somewhere else.
There was a used condom by the bed, the shower was dirty, the fridge wasn’t plugged in, all bedding and towels were stained, and just very run down in general. Not a comforting experience!
It was a lovely motel. From the start check in went smooth and very nice. The room was clean and proper. The customer service was top notch, very attentive and courteous.
I frequently stay at this motel while traveling for work, and I have nothing but positive things to say about it. I adore the setting. My stay is always enjoyable, and the staff at the motel is great to work with. Very accommodating, and booking is simple. Five stars for sure!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Worst filthy hotel terrible dirty towels hotel dilapidated place graffiti everywhere disgusting air filter dirty sheets pillows there was hair and smudges on it very bad the most awful ever rude staff nothing good no English. Do not stay here. Disappointing customer service bare bones garbage piled up around the property it was gross Will never stay here I left. And they didn’t want to give me a refund. Cheap thieves treat people like nothing just take your money room is definitely not up to Covid standards there was a rat there. This place should not be on this app and the board of health should pay them a visit I’m serious.
