Travelled with family
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was in poor shape. The carpet was frayed, paint chipped, stains on carpet/bedding, furniture was chipped and falling apart. When we arrived, we immediately went downstairs and requested to cancel but the manager had already left and nobody was able to assist us. I did not want to walk on the carpet and my 2 year old son almost ate a "button" that was as missing from one of the stools. Definitely overly priced and I would consider this a rundown motel. Very disappointed and confused by all the positive reviews. I would price this at $150 max NOT the $330 we paid.
A piece fell off this stool and my son almost put it in his mouth
