Friendly staff but very noisy

We read the positive reviews and were not expecting what we found when we arrived. In the evening the person at the check-in counter was pleasant but they were behind a locked door in the office and we were in the lobby area only to have a disturbed older man with his pitbull join us. He eventually left but it was a dicey situation. We were then given the keys to our rooms only to have the couple in the room next door come outside with their rottweiler on a 20 foot rope throw itself against our car window and aggressively bark. We are dog-owning people but this was all a bit much. In fairness to the motel, when we went back to the office they did take it seriously, their security person showed up, and they moved us to different rooms. In the end then we saw the initial 2 rooms plus the 2 rooms where we ended up staying. All 4 rooms were relatively clean but this is a very basic, older motel with peeling floors albeit with fresh paint on the walls. And it is very noisy. Even in the middle of the night the noise from the I5 is loud so earplugs are essential. Add to that the Carmax dealership next door where cars are loudly offloaded from trucks throughout the night. And then in the morning the very pleasant maids are unfortunately loudly talking outside while rolling noisy carts up and down the outside hallway. There are large gaps around the doors which only makes all of the noise even worse. Friendly staff but next time we'd go elsewhere.

The hotel is older, but the rooms were clean, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a mini fridge and microwave in room. Some items looked to have been upgraded but not all. Regardless the room was extremely clean! The staff at check in/out were very nice and helpful. The street noise from the Saturday night street racing was a bit much and went on for almost two's hours. Two hours of screaming, yelling, tire burn outs and engines accelerating...it was a bit much! I know it is not necessarily the hotel's fault, but it seemed to me like it happened all the time with the way it went on for 2 hours. The only real downside was the breakfast. It was breakfast with two choices, cereal or pancakes and the pancakes only had butter with no syrup. Again, it wasn't horrible, but it just seemed a little lacking.
