We stayed here because they allow pets. Very minimalistic and outdated, but there's a lock on the door and a bed to sleep in. Bed was hard and only had a sheet and extremely thin blanket to be under. Towels were extraordinarily thin, as was the water pressure. Two tiny bars of soap and that's it. No shampoo, no hair dryer and no room in the tiny bathroom. I actually had to slide sideways on the toilet in order to unroll the toilet paper. I'd say you get what you pay for, but over $100 is still a lot of money and I don't see that this was worth it.

Would only recommend for an entomologist who might like to study the cockroaches that lived behind the mirror above the sink. Don't worry, it will easy, as they are quite bold about appearing when the lights are turned off, and turned back on again. I would have given a lower rating except that the bed was as hard as a piece of concrete that can be found beneath a highway underpass. (which I happened to like, as I do have back problems, so I gave them an extra star from what I wanted to rate them at) I did say something to the front desk attendant when I had to go get me key re-charged so I could open the door as I had made a two day reservation, not knowing any better. His response to passing the word along to hire an exterminator was \"It's not MY motel\". And this review doesn't even mention the dog food spilled all along the hallway upstairs. Oh, wait. I just did mention it, but it's nothing a little housekeeping couldn't fix. I hate to think that this is really the BEST Value that America has to offer. Avoid.

Room was ok. Coffee pot was very dirty. Cigarette burns in the covers. Doorknob was broken in the bathroom and my son got stuck in there. My son came through the hotel door and when the door shut; the window pane fell inwards onto my other son sitting on the bed. We had to put the window back up. It was quiet, no real problems, but it was very expensive for what we got.

We walked into the room and turned in the lights and some bulbs needed replaced. Our comforter had cigarette burn in it. Went to use the restroom and their was still a bowel movement in the toilet. My child said he did not want to take a shower it made him uncomfortable because it was gross. Road noise was high and walls are thin and can hear neighbors easily. We did not even attempt the breakfast. The building and rooms could definitely use some updates and a deep clean.

These people should be ashamed of themselves for charging nearly $80 a night for a room in this condition. Hotel room rates are high right now, so I booked the least expensive one in the area. But this place seriously brings to mind a rent by the hour establishment. I took pictures, but there doesn't seem to be a way to attach them to this review.

Although the online site (and actually the door of our room) said non-smoking, it was not. The room smelled of smoke, the occupant across the hall kept the door propped and there was a strong smell of smoke there. As someone who is very sensitive to smoke, it caused burning eyes and a sore throat. The accommodations were adequate, but the smoking was unacceptable.

I told the lady at the front desk she gave me a plunger that didn't work, I returned it to her and told her and all she did was looked at me. I just said thank you and walked away! Man I was heated! Then Monday the morning. The only day I get to sleep in. Cause check out is at 12:00pm. About 9:30am my motel room phone keeps ringing! I didn't answer. Then an hour later I received a knock on my door.( I have the do not disturb sign up on my door too by the way!) I get out of bed and opened the door to see the same woman. I was pissed! And the first thing that came to my mind was that I said to her isn't check out at noon? She then mumbled something and said sorry and walked away....
