The property was very dirty. The floors looked like they were never cleaned. The bathroom sink wants hardly attached to the wall and the toilet rocked. Over all this hotel was disgusting and i dont plan to return. We even ended our stay a few days early because of the filth.

Waited quite a while at the front desk to check in, even called the property twice while waiting and got a voice message saying they were not available at this time. Mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. Price too high for the quality of the property.

The room is advertised with queen beds, they were full size. The lights wouldnt work. And the building smelled like marijuana. Which got worse when we reached our floor. Had to check out shortly after entering room and booked a new hotel for our stay.

Had trouble with key cards two days in a row. TV in room didn't work, I advised the front desk and they said they would come up in ten minutes, never showed. If you just need a bed, this motel will meet your needs.

Hallways were very dark. Access was limited for handicapped people (walking down ramp was awkward and took time.) Bathroom fixtures were very small and low. Rooms were clean. Breakfast and coffee were good.
