Don’t stay here, very disappointed!

Where to start, the room is extremely run down and old. I booked 2 rooms, 1 for me and 1 for my daughter and her family. We both had major issues. Floors were dirty, big hole on the side of the couch that I wouldn’t dare touch or allow anyone to sit on, 1 of the curtains were hanging off the window, the door to the patio is glass and your can see straight out of it meaning if someone was standing outside they would be able to see in. The 2nd bedroom didn’t have air conditioning nor heat, oh and no tv. My daughter’s room freezer didn’t work, and had a smell to it. There room wasn’t that clean either. Floors were dirty. You can tell they do the bare minimum while cleaning. I have a list of things I didn’t like but I’ll attach the pictures so show proof. In the living room/kitchen area only 1 light worked and the room stayed very dim

From Check-in to Check-out, the staff was so friendly and helpful. The room was cleaner than the room I stayed at in a luxury hotel in Vegas. I travel here for work weekly and Im definitely going to keep booking this hotel. Lots of parking and its quiet.

It’s okay

The hotel was clean. My biggest complaint is that the walls were paper thin. You can hear everything so it was really hard to sleep. I wanted to check in at 2:45, but no one was there and no one answered the phone. It’s a good value if you are low maintenance and a heavy sleeper.

Clean and Comfortable

A family emergency required me to get a motel room for several days. It is an older motel and it seemed that my room had some renovation. A large entertainment center blocked a brick wall that once had a fire place. There was a five to six inch gap between the entertainment center and the wall that you could see the fire place. Yet, it did not affect my stay as there was an air conditioning and heating unit in the room. The desk staff were very cordial. The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. It made my stay enjoyable under the circumstances.

Won’t Be Back

Door would not open. Soap, shampoo etc poor quality. Coffee filter pouch wrong size. Did not replenish coffee. Toilet one foot from ground. TV on side wall. Poor lighting. No luggage stand or extra blanket. The door was the worst nearly impossible to open. We saw multiple guests struggling with this issue. This was our second stay at this establishment. We won’t be back.

You get what you pay for

Would give it one star because the door lock worked. Very loud AC, bed hard as a rock, no exhaust fan in bathroom, ONE coat hanger in closet, crumbling paint in bathroom, smallest TV I have ever seen in a Motel, paper thin walls and ceiling. Wanted upstairs room and was told that there were no king beds upstairs, so had to try to sleep under a herd of elephants wandering around upstairs. If it were the only motel in town, I'd bring a tent next time.
