The room was nicely made up. Everything looked clean. I did appreciate that the breakfast was offered at 6am on Saturday, as I needed to leave that morning by 6:45. A couple things as a heads up. The pet fee was $25, not the $20 stated online. Also, they require a deposit at check-in. The sign on the counter stated $100 but, I was charged $50 (which I did get back). All in all, it was a good place to stay the night and rest.

The room was so gross and dirty. The floor was covered with stuff. There was dirt on the walls. There was blood or something on the curtains. It was just plain disgusting. A blow dryer in the bathroom did not work. The light switches were dirty. Housekeeping came in twice before we were even checked out.

The room was disgusting. Dust everywhere, and a cigarette burn in my sheets. The hotel refused to do anything other than give me new sheets (which I had no way of knowing were clean). Disgusting hotel with staff with bad attitudes regarding solving problems.

After booking, I noticed this motel had a lot of negative reviews on Google, so I was worried. I stayed here 3 nights and didn't have a single issue. The room was fine, the breakfast was fine (I only ate it one time, but it was pretty good). The staff were all friendly. This wasn't a 5 star hotel, but it was a standard, normal hotel room for a good price. I'd stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a great stay. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was equipped with a wet bar, refrigerator, and coffee maker. The Breakfast had hot eggs, a waffle maker, a yogurt machine with nut & granola toppings, hot and cold cereal, juices, and coffee. I would have liked it even more if there had been cheese and hot sauce for the eggs and almond milk. The pool was clean with heated water. The thing I appreciated most was that they allowed me an extra hour in the morning giving me a noon check out with no housekeepers banging on the door or making loud noises in the hall. I got a great last minute rate and I will definitely be looking to stay here again in the future. I appreciated all of this
