Weekend Trip w/ pets

Clerk was super friendly and professional. I traveled with my pets so he found a way to get me a double bed room, which was extremely nice. The location and grounds were impeccable. Definitely would come again. Only downside was that the shower was a bit dirty but you can tell it was more of a water stain, not actual dirt that was overlooked.

I didn't like the guy at the desk. He called me a liar and wasn't very professional. When it was time to check out he was very impatient and knocked on my door every 10 min after I was there for a week. My funds were late and I was going to stay until he harassed me and made me load my car with my cats. All he had to do is give me a few min to transfer my money. Then when I finally finished loading everything the money was there and he asked if I wanted to stay. I just laughed and he said well maybe next time and I told him there won't be a next time. I was even going to offer to help clean the place up because there was alot of trash on the property. And the laundry room was filthy. The dryer didn't have the tube that connects to it to push the heat outside and it just filled the laundry room with hot moisture that was so terrible I had to prop the door open. I could have fixed that myself too. Anyway the guy was a jerk and blamed it on the boss and i asked to speak with his boss he refused to let me speak with him. The place has potential if it had better management.

Our room was not thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival. Found trash under the bedside table and leftover food in the fridge. Being on the street side of the hotel meant that we heard the traffic and music from the convention center (across the street). No hair dryer or extra bedding in room. Beds were comfortable. Bring extension cord if you have electronics that need to charged. Lobby staff was great & helpful.

We booked a queen bed through Expedia, but upon arrival discovered it was actually a full. When we asked about it, the front desk said all of their beds are that size, which makes me think Expedia should update their listing to reflect reality. While I went into this knowing it’s a budget-friendly motel, the basics of cleanliness should never be skipped. Unfortunately, the sheets and pillowcases clearly hadn’t been properly washed—we found multiple hairs in the bed as if it had just been remade without laundering. Even more unsettling, I noticed a pile of used sheets and bedspreads sitting outside the laundry room all night, exposed to who knows what. Overall, I was extremely disappointed by the lack of cleanliness and accuracy in the booking. I will not be returning.

Bed and room is small. But TV is working this time

The bed is smaller than queen. The room is small too. But still efficient with bathroom that lower water pressure. The Tv I surprise still working consider last time tv channel didn’t work at all. So I appreciated for it.

This place is one of the more affordable places and you quickly find out why. If you need a place to stay a night or two, it’s good enough. It was clean enough and had everything you would need in a hotel. Two major areas of improvements I’d like to see are new windows that don’t allow sound to come in. Because of how affordable the place was, all types of folks come through here and they are loud at night. The windows showed their age. The second area of improvement would be the beds. Mine had a small piece of spring sticking out and it had made a hole in the bed. It scratched my leg, but I bent it back under the bed to make it safe to sleep on again. Mattresses can be cheap. Just swap all of them out. This place will do for short and affordable stays but keep in mind what I said.
