Absolute worst experience I’ve ever had at a motel. The entire place was completely unsanitary. An overpowering smell of sewage made it impossible to stay in the room.

This is a quiet place to stay. I’m sure it’s not always that way, but we have stayed there twice this far and it’s been a pleasant stay.

I was willing to give it a chance.

I was willing to give it a chance, but the toilet hadn’t been cleaned, hair on the floor, and the stench was so bad we left at 4:45 am. Location was great and workers were friendly but overall it mad me sad

Property and room stunk like sewer so bad, we couldn’t stay in the room, slept in the truck. The most disgusting property I’ve ever stayed at. Smelled so bad it made us physically sick.

Nightmare!

Arrived directly from the airport to check in and was told my reservation was canceled without notice. The front desk clerk was quite rude and not at all helpful in any way shape or form. Horrific experience! Would never recommend or stay there.

Clean room, good parking, bed was made, refrigerator was loose and rocking, coffee was poor quality, price was fair
Kent, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was quick, the staff was friendly. The room was okay, but mainly because the bad was comfortable and I was exhausted. Otherwise, regular maintenance is clearly not done. The toilet paper holder wouldn’t hold a roll. Towel rack was barely attached and the place hasn’t been painted in decades. It was moderately clean. You get what you pay for and $35 was about the right price.

It was an older establishment so you pay for what you get. The bathtub did not drain and the room was not properly stalked with toiletries.
