The property is old. The room is huge but smells a little musty. there are 2 doors for the room. Park by the back door and across the room is another door leading to a huge courtyard. There are day/ road maintenance workers temporarily living there. But the place is pretty quiet. The towels and sheets are average and clean. Maybe if the carpet was replaced with vinyl, the room would be better.

Electric outlets were so loose we had to tape the plug into it. No knob on shower spout to turn on shower. Numerous gouges in the walls. Bugs entering under door due to worn out bottom seal. Gave us incorrect wifi password at checkin. Ceiling had numerous wet stains. Price was high given the room. Called other motels but no openings. We were stuck.

This place is not worth your money. It was advertised as including breakfast, but that is false. The room looked old. A maintenance worker suddenly entered my room, which was frightening. Keep in mind that if you need assistance at night, there is no one at the front desk. I didn't see any bugs, though.

So many things to mention. I'm shocked they have not been shut down at this point.

The water started off brown and then cleared as you ran it.
The tub and floor connection looks as if it was sealed by an infant.
The tub faucet would not shut off and had a steady stream/drip.
The bathroom light/fan had no fixture. Just a bulb and fan.
No fixture above the sink, just a florescent tube light.
Rust on the door hinges
It looks like what used to be space or wall heaters throughout the room were rusted and bent up.
Water spots on the ceiling above the bed.
The bed felt like you were sleeping on just springs.
The smoke detector haad the battery compartment pull out and the battery partially removed so it would not make contact.
The carpet felt sticky when walking on it.
One of the lights and plugs on the wall above the nightstand did not work.
I hung up the \"do not disturb\" sign when I left for the day, only to return to the sign being gone and clearly someone had been in the room to change towels and such.

The money you may save by booking here is not worth the conditions you or your family will be sleeping in. AVOID if all possible!!

This actually shows a 8.2 which is more like a 2.8 it says continual breakfast and there is none!! It is a pass through room and both doors had gaps around them you could actually see outside. Stains above both beds no cover on exhaust fan in bathroom and did not work had a Walmart bag stuffed in the vent, smoke detector had not battery and door was broke on it. Had a nice frig but no way to plug it into a three pin outlet unless you took it to the bathroom. Heating/A/C unit was green with mold. With all that said the room and bed was clean but cold as crap especially when it got -7 outside. Paid for three nights could not handle the room did not even stay the last night in fear of freezing to death. Save yourself a headache and go some where else!!!

The hotel and property is so run down! It needs some serious remodeling and landscaping done. Have no idea how they are staying in business! Had no choice but to stay for the night.

A little overpriced for what it is. Seems very run down. But, on a good note, it was pretty clean. Clean linens and towels. Had some flies we had to take out before we could get to sleep.
Overall it was more like a $30-$40 a night motel. In today’s world, maybe a $70-$80 a night motel. You get what you pay for. Next time I’ll probably spend a few more dollars and stay down the road.

The rooms are cheaper for a reason

Had to wait over 10 minutes to check in due to no one in the building. I ran the bell and called the front desk numerous times, finally the worker came in from outside carrying shopping bags.
The room had beer caps and crumbs of food behind the nightstand, the refrigerator either was not turned on or was not plugged in- i didnt bother looking becasue by the time it would of cooled down my drinks would of been warm. The freezer part was defrosted so there was water all in the top.
The beds are soo uncomfortable.
The smoke detector was in a drawer along with some plastic bags that were not thrown away from the previous people.

The room and bathroom area are spacious even though they are outdated.

There was a dog in the next room, but we never heard it or the people on either side of us.

This is the 2nd and last time I will stay here.

Worst Motel Ever

This is probably the worst motel I've ever stayed in. The plumbing was in terrible shape - the faucet on the sink was so loose I was afraid it would fall of, the toilet was sitting on a piece of plywood, and the tub didn't drain properly. In addition, many electrical outlets didn't work, the facial tissues container was empty, the curtains didn't close completely (this was a 1st floor room, so it mattered). Finally, the website advertised breakfast (falsely), which is one reason I chose this motel, but there was no breakfast.

Front desk staff was nice but booking said that they have a continental breakfast and they do not. Rooms could use a deep clean and had a bit of a smell. We arrived in the evening when it was dark already and there was a large group of men partying outside their rooms a few doors away from us. We did not feel safe walking to our room because of this. Not worth the money you save staying here versus a nicer hotel.

Definitely an old, outdated motel. Mostly clean, sheets had a few faded stains, bath tub had rust stains by the drain. Tile above the bath tub had dark grout that could be moldy and the shower curtains were old and a little mildewy. The outlets by the lamps didnt work so had to charge phones on the floor, but they at least worked. We stayed here because we couldn't find anywhere else on parents weekend. The checkin went smoothly and the front desk person was very friendly. While motels are typically expected to be no frills, perhaps updating the bathroom to get rid of blue tub and blue toilet. Also the mattresses were quite hard and uncomfortable.

The property was clean and it was quiet. I interacted with staff at check-in but that was the only contact I had with anyone. There were a number of electrical outlets that didn't work in the room and lights that initially worked eventually didn't. There was a sign in the bathroom \"Outlets are not grounded\". Not sure if this property meets electrical code for occupancy. The price was right but because it was graduation weekend at the local university, rooms were at a premium.

We love staying here because of being able to park right outside our door and not having to pack everything through the lobby. My only complaint is that the Wi-Fi isn’t the best the farther you get from wherever the modem is and they never have enough bath towels in the rooms. Two bath towels for 3 adults just isn’t enough. I have could ask for more, but have found it’s just easier to pack my own. By the time I drive 5 hours, last thing I want to do is go back to the office to ask for more.

It's an older Hotel, but, like older buildings, the walls aren't paper thin.
