This place was reminiscent of the movie "Psycho". We did not feel at all safe nor were the rooms clean. Carpets were stained, bed linens were thrown haphazardly on the beds, sink and tub looked like they hadn't been cleaned from the last occupant (soap residue on the sink and counter). One in our party slept in her travel clothes and no one unpacked anything. No coffee, no attendant in the office in the morning... we left ASAP.

The staff at check-in was wonderful, but this property should not be listed on Orbitz. It was a very rundown motel that felt more like it rented rooms by the month. It had the bare minimum but honestly did not feel either safe or comfortable. I don't think anyone booking online would feel satisfied with this location.

This motel was nice and clean.. Check-in and check out were seamless. It is false advertising for the breakfast and the Egyptian cotton bedding lol..but I wasn't expecting much. The "breakfast" is Little Debbie snack ckes but the coffee is delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

Avoid this Dump!

I would avoid this property and pay the extra $50 to stay in All Seasons. Very poorly maintained property, the “breakfast “ consisted of coffee and some cheap sweets. A real dump, not worth $131/night
Breakfast. Really?

Sasquatch Shaving Party

Pictures are deceiving they are about 30 years behind. Place is run down and unclean. Checked into room uneaten food left in a styrofoam container on top of microwave. Pubic hair left all over bathroom counter and in sink. Looked like they had a sasquatch shaving party. Food remenants in the sink strainer. Hair on every towel pulled from the rack. Stained sheets hair in the bed also. Booked this through hotels.com with no refund otherwise I would have left and found another place to stay. Slept on top of blankets.
