Friendly people with under maintaining facility.

When we checked in, they put us in a dirty room. And then upon complaining, they changed to a different room which caused us wasted nearly 1 hour of our valuable vacation time. The fitted sheet was full of stains. Yuck!

Nope!

We stood outside waiting for about 10 minutes just for someone to help us get checked in. He finally came and was presumably cleaning a room, still wearing the dirty gloves, he took my card and ID with. We took one look at our room and decided to book elsewhere. I'm not picky by any means and have stayed in some pretty iffy places, but this one takes the cake. The mattress and blankets were extremely stained up. The mini fridge was very dirty inside. The smell of the room was terrible. I didn't even look in the bathroom. There were life jackets and other items all scattered right outside our door. The other guy had to come move them just to get in our room. I let the man who checked us in, know that we'd be looking elsewhere and that our room was filthy. Both men did show concern and told us they had cleaned it themselves, but we booked through a third party, so no refund or anything could be offered that I know of. We knew we wouldn't be getting much with an economy motel, but even this was surprising!

7.2 rating? Hmm...don't think so.

I don't know how this hotel has a 7+ rating. We stayed in 5&6+ rated hotels within a half mile of this place that were both much better, by far, stays than Economy Hotel. You also have to stand outside in the weather and check in through a small window. Then they want you to sign another credit card receipt (not your own card), even after you've already prepaid on hotels.com. Supposedly this was a charge to Expedia for the price they were being charged by the hotel. I may be wrong, but I think it's actually illegal to sign your name to a credit card that's not your own. We decided to stay there due to the 7+ rating, but we won't be back. The room, bath and bed were all substandard.

We weren’t able to check in until after 4:30 because the motel didn’t receive the paperwork from hotels.com. The lady in the front, didn’t know how to work the computer, so she had to call her boss and we had to continue to wait after our 10 hour drive. The cleanliness was good but the infrastructure was not. Multiple holes and dents in the walls; outdated AC unit and furniture. For paying $90 per night, we could have went to a nicer hotel for $10 more. Will not be returning to this motel.

Great option. I'll stay here again.

Think of the most basic motel you could stay in. Thats this place. Small fridge. Microwave. Closet. Nice bathroom accually. Room was clean. Beds are comfortable. Seemed like they renovated in recent years. Flat screen tv with cable. Wifi was a little slow. Room service was reliable. There is no open lobby but service was quick at the push of a door bell at a window.

This was the worst hotel I have ever been booked. I smelled like they just bug bombed it and it is old, outdated and filthy. I was forced to book another room at another hotel. It was unacceptable.
