Throwback to the 70’s.
If you like sitting in your parents living room from 1979 then this is your place. Outdated is an understatement.
There was more caulk holding the bathroom together than there was bathroom to hold together.

Stay was ok
The hotel was not up to standard. Need to do better cleaning carpet & bathroom. Also the big thing for me was the distance to River City Sportcomplex. On your website, you mentioned 4.2 miles, it was over 10 miles...make the correction as it was the only reason i booked this place.

At check-in was charged $100 fee for contingencies without any mention of the charge. AFTER I asked for a printed receipt at checkout at that point I was told of the fee and that it would be refunded to my credit card. The check in clerk took my card and ID and was on the computer which was suspicious because the card reader was on the counter.

This was the cleanest motel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff was very nice and helpful. I stayed over a weekend and the place was very quiet. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

The hotel grounds seemed rather neglected and the room we were in was probably last upgraded in the 1980s. Everything worked ok, but was dated
However, the staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Not marked well, toll road to get there, looks more like an apt complex than a hotel, staff at check in discussed whether the hotel was oversold, took a while to come up with a room in a 2nd bldg, did not seem to be the deluxe room we booked--pretty standard. Lobby is small, breakfast ok. Shower below average. Below average for a Best Western
