A very clean, economical motel with pleasant staff. I had reserved a queen kitchenette but ended up with just a queen regular room which was okay but I really needed a fridge with a freezer of which there was just a fridge, no freezer in it. Otherwise, a decent motel for the money.

Worst motel I have ever stayed in.

I will never stay at this motel again. the room was not properly cleaned. There was dirt and mold in the bathroom. No coffee pot in the room. And the room had a kitchenette, but no cups. In general, I will never stay at this motel again

The rooms were dirty when we got there I used its cloth to clean up and was charged $40 because I got the towels dirty was told I should’ve came to the front and asked for a mop. I was willing to go to Walmart and replace towels with better quality towels, they said it was their policy and they offered me to take home the dirty towels.

4/10 Fair

When I arrived early for check in, I was told very curtly that my room would be ready at 3pm. I returned at around 2:40pm, got my keys, and payed the $200 deposit (pretty high and actually cost more than what I paid to stay for two nights) and was told the room would be ready at 3pm. I waited in my car, and at 3:15, the room was still not ready (highly unprofessional cleaner who enjoyed taking his sweet time regardless of the check in time). I started to walk back inside to ask, and was shouted at by i'm assuming the receptionist in the parking lot that it would be just five more minutes. I saw the cleaner, and despite saying I needed to be in the room asap since I had a place to be at 4pm, he reiterated the 5 minutes. 10 minutes later, he was still not done so I went inside to ask what the holdup was. Begrudgingly, the same receptionist said she would book me in another room, and I finally got in half an hour after I was supposed to be checked in. Needless to say, I was also late for my 4pm appointment. Overall, considering what I paid for the room, it wasn't a bad hotel aside from the general location, but the extremely poor customer service just soured everything else about it.
