The trash had not been emptied, the floors were filthy and the wallpaper and ceiling were falling down in the bathroom.

Room was clean. Quiet night. Decent breakfast. Worth the money. Only suggestion is to hire a professional to do bathroom updates, very sloppy work.

Bathroom towels were filthy. Large water stain with paint peeling off on the ceiling. Good thing the floor is not carpet. First room given to us smell horrible even-though it was non-smoking room. Staff was helpful and switched the room for us. The star given is solely for service and friendly staff.

Unacceptable

My wife walked in to the bathroom and said, this is disgusting! There was a huge rusted out area on the bathtub. Bad enough that you could scratch yourself and break the skin. Also, the bath mat had hair all on it. My wife didn’t even wash her hair or brushed it. Also, once we laid in bed, her feet got caught in the sheet, only to find out it had a big tear on the sheet. The bed itself was very comfortable.

Upon arriving there was a plumbing issue, so I canceled immediately. Manager contacted me at 12:30 AM for us to return, and still charged my account. Kevin and/or Expedia have returned my calls, chats or inquired via account. Poor service from both entities.

The motel was better than expected. The room was affordable and appeared clean. It wasnt fancy and could use some work. The area doesnt seem to be the best. More ran down than anything. The motel parking lot is very lit up and the guest consisted of families and the elderly no one was loitering and the grounds felt safe. There could be someone in the office and the person running the business did come out and check us in but we needed towels at some point and werent able to get them. Overall a very affordable decent stay and I would stay here again in the future .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We were traveling with a trailer and it has a lot of parking and truck parking on the back so it was very convenient. For the price was perfect we just wanted to have a bed to sleep. The guy at the front desk was very service oriented and kind, he answered all my questions and help another customer who had a phone from Canada and couldn’t make a phone called. The hotel as a stop to rest is perfect and quiet and clean. But that’s all, no fancy but remodeled to a more clean look. No breakfast and few options to go and eat but we got late so maybe on the day time you can find more.
