Never again

The first room they gave us didnt have a fidge, chair or AC unit. The second room they gave of us, we went to use the pullout bed and it was so disgusting. Then, ad I was walking back from breakfast to my room the cleaning lady asked me TWICE if i wanted to help her clean the rooms (Im hispanic) we have been here a few times (about once a month) and this was by far the worst experience we've had.

You get what you pay for and I think we paid too much for what we got. The room itself was clean but the homes and the property are very outdated. Thre are attempts at updating it. The breakfast staff were too busy socializing rather than refilling the food items. I had to tell them many times that things needed to be refilled.

The facility is in serious disrepair. It was clearly a beautiful property at one time, but it needs some serious TLC. The furniture is worn and stained. The wall trim is missing or unfinished. I had to ask for toilet paper. Very little was in the bathroom. All surfaces were sticky and unclean. We were too tired to look for another hotel.

TERRIBLE PROPERTY. CLOSE IT DOWN!

The property was nothing like the photos online. No chair in the room and TV did not work. When explained to desk, they asked if I wanted to check out. There were issues at check in, as they said only 1 of the 4 rooms I booked was paid for by hotels.com I showed them the receipt and they argued for 45 minutes on Friday night. On Saturday, they said only my reservation showed only 1 room reserved, but not paid for. They charged us again for that room, but had no other room for our 4th party. The 3rd party that got the room said their door did not secure so the attendent got them another room, but 4th party never got a room, although they were charged to the 3rd party's card. we would like to dispute all charges!

Don’t do it, go somewhere else.

Please stay somewhere else. The photos they have posted must be from years ago. The pool is not functional nor is the exercise room. They appear to be renovating, very slowly, with the likes of a part time handyman. The common spaces and rooms are barely passably clean. On a positive note, I didn’t see any insects.

There was nothing that I liked about this property the surrounding area I checked into my hotel. I asked for our room on the first floor. She told me she couldn’t accommodate me that it was all booked up, but I don’t. I only seen about six cars outside in the hotel parking lot on the second floor in room 231 the room was dirty. The bathroom had old toothpaste on the wall the showerhead lint at the top of it don’t know how it got there. The remote did not have batteries in the TV was stuck on so I couldn’t even watch TV. The air conditioner did not work ,half the lights did not work in the room I spent majority of my time away. I only came here to sleep my first night, returning back to my hotel to go to sleep. There was a raccoon at the door. The door was left open for anybody to just open it up and walk through. There was no sense of security, this state was horrible. I visit this hotel last year in March. The pool was closed and when I stayed just now, the pool was still closed so it’s been over a year that the pool has been closed I will not be returning to this property ever this property should not be open. I am contacting the Better Business Bureau code enforcers and the health department needs to be shut down ASAP.

The staff were excellent. They were very kind and accommodating. They always had a smile and always said good morning. The room was nice but some of the furniture was old and had seen better days though the bed was very comfortable. Overall, I thought the room was quite nice. I really liked that the room was not carpeted but it would be nice to have a little broom and dust pan in the room. Most of the hotel was closed off for renovations, which was not disclosed online so we were a little disappointed but we made the best of it. The breakfast provided quite a few options but it did get old having the same thing everyday. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would likely be willing to stay there again.

The motel was for sure out of the at a dead end road. The highway was close by, so was noisy from that. I liked the newer laminate floors, however it is very outdated and needs a major up lift. There was rust every where. My queen bed was broke and leaned side ways making it hard to sleep. Breakfast was good. Parking was good. Staff very friendly.
