Old motel but decent place to stay
They accommodated us even if we were late for checkin due to closure of Hiway 4. We are so grateful for their service. Its an old motel that was not fully renovated but Its a decent place to stay.

4/10 Fair

Not Impressed
This hotel did not meet our expectations at all. The front desk staff were unfriendly, the front desk room smelled like smoke, the staff sat outside and smoked right by the stair entrance, the room smelled so unbearably like cleaning agent that it was hard to breath - even our food tasted like Pine-Sol after being in the fridge, the couch had stains on it, no blankets for the pull out bed were provided, the pull out bed was horrible to sleep on because the mattress was so thin, the bathroom needed significant repairs, the shower head was at chest height… I could go on. It was definitely not worth the money and we will not be going back.

Check in was good. Place was old but not in bad shape. Cloth couch and chairs were old and stained! We had a “Non smoking” room, but it was very evident that it had been smoked in and tried to cover it up with a heavy dose of deodorant spray!

check in/out experience could've been improved. there was no review of amenities or wi-fi (I had to ask). we waited a while to check out as no one was at the counter. the pull out bed was surprisingly comfortable.
