Staff was kind and friendly. Room was clean and bed was good, though hard for me. Area around the hotel was awful, not their fault. Dirty and full of construction, very confusing.

This was the nicest motel I’ve ever stayed in. Great, fast internet, fridge, microwave, coffee maker in room, shampoo in the shower, very convenient location. The shower was amaaaaaazing. My kids don’t love showers, but there’s so many settings that I was able to make the water come out right at their level and not over their heads, which is what they don’t like. Just be aware…there is no smoking except a small area around the back of the building. When she told me that at check in, I asked if I could get a room semi close to the area. Of course I got the furthest possible room on the property and on the 2nd floor lol I stay in motels bc I travel alone with 2 young children and I like having easy access to bring our luggage in and also to smoke nearby bc I can’t and won’t leave them unattended. Also, we all sleep horribly the first night any time we travel and I did not appreciate housekeeping banging on the door at 755am. I had looked for a do not disturb sign before I went to bed but didn’t see one but thought ehh, it’ll be alright. Needless to say, I was very grumpy the first morning (and really needed a cig lol) All that being said, I will definitely stay here again, but now I know what rooms to request and will remember to get a do not disturb sign :)

I liked that there was a store and several restaurants close by. What I didn't like was the beds were so tall that I had problems getting into bed. I should have asked if they had a little stool or something I could use. Maybe make that a selling point for short folks?

Needs a DEEP clean. They did laundry running constantly. One of the staff opened our door at 7 am. Didn’t knock, just opened the door saw that we were there and shut the door. Probably won’t go back. It was cheap but not worth it.

Just needed a comfortable stay with an inexpensive rate for the night. This provided both. The shower was great with several unique features. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. Breakfast was simple with some granola bars, muffins, juice, and coffee, but for what the room cost is, I was happy with the selections.

They did not allow me to stay because we live within 40 miles of the hotel. Had to spend an hour on the phone with my family in the car to get things worked out with Expedia to get my refund so I would have money to get a room somewhere. I am still in the process of doing that. We missed our dinner reservations and are stranded as of right now due to Expedia.

Needed a last minute hotel for a family member that happened to be passing thru, and we were shocked by the value considering how nice the room was. Definitely leaps and bounds above other “leave the light on” locations that were similar in price. Recommend this place for a low price point and just basic accommodations needed.

Arrived at 430pm, waited in lobby rang bell but no service. After 10 minutes I called the hotel and the front desk guy answered from his bed room and was waking up from sleeping. The room was spacious and cleaned. The main shower knob was broken and would not turn on. On check out day the cleaning person didn’t knock, but rudely opened the my locked door as I had the chain latched they quickly shut the door at 9:15 am. Then again at 9:40 the cleaning lady tried to barge in the room without knocking with the chain still latched she stood there with the door opened, I was in my boxers on the bed and she just was complaining that check out is at 10. She wouldn’t shut the door and just kept glaring at me, I finally yelled at her to shut the door. I was out of the room by 10 am. There was no need for her or the other cleaners to invade my privacy during my stay. As I was leaving the property in my car the men and the lady opened my door to my room and as I was pulling away they all just glared at me as if I was a problem.
