This motel labeled hotel is ok. A double bed room is not 2 beds. Its a full size bed. Mattress was hard it had absolutely no give when you sit on or lay on it. Toiletrie containers in the shower were empty. Breakfast is really continental breakfast, with very limited selections (just enough to say \"free breakfast). The coffee was not so good. There was waffle syrup and instructions to make waffles but no waffle iron 😕. Breakfast times were 6am-9am however at 8am the door to the breakfast lounge was locked. However if you are on a strict budget its doable.

The worst hotel/motel I have ever stayed in. Pictures are not of the room. Maybe 20 years ago. No it water in shower. I would have never taken a bath here. The AC/heater didn’t even come on. At all. WiFi kept cutting out and telling me wrong password even though it accepted it multiple times before. Caulking was discolored and gross. Floor seemed to have a film over it. Either not cleaned or cleaned with dirty stuff. Will never ever stay again. Not recommended. My parents also rented separate room. Their AC/heat worked 2 of 3 nights. Took 10 minutes to get hot water to the shower. The rest of the room matched my description. Breakfast - they did have an area. They did have food. Nothing great but wasn’t awful. Just not impressed at all.

At first glance the room was ok. The entire building not bad. Get to our room and open it up and it’s definitely well used but still not bad. Go to the bathroom and you can tell the sink nor the shower had been clean in at least a couple weeks. The towels were dingy and stained like they were only washed in water no soap. The floors I will say were clean. Though hey it’s just a few hours we were super tired. We drove up to attend my son’s graduation from AU. Pulled back the sheets on Ohhhh Em Geeeee!!! Tell me why it was filled with dirt and some kind of cheesy chip or cracker crumbs. The sheets felt grimy. I was over it. When I told the guy at front desk he just looked at me and smiled. Like wth is funny that’s nasty. Disgusting!!! Do better for your paying guests!!!

I called one day prior to arrival to change my reservation and was assured it had been taken care of. Had I not paid attention during check-in, I would have been charged for the extra night. Then I get to the room, there are roaches...EVERYWHERE including in the bed and you can tell the staff does not focus on cleaning baseboards, the floor, lampshades, lamp bases, or outlet covers. Didn't leave extra rolls of toilet tissue and even the ironing board was dirty. Between the roaches and the dirt, the room was disgusting. Did I complain, no because they have to know that the condition of the room is the way it is and they obviously don't care. I was desperate to find a reasonably priced room on a very busy weekend and was left with no choice but to remain. I got what I paid for and now know why the room was probably so cheap. Overall, horrible experience and would recommend not booking for the roaches alone. Killed everyone I saw and left them on the floor for evidence. At least they cleaned them up. Gives new meaning to the term \"roach motel\".

I regret cheaping out. Was a rough stay :(

I hate to leave a mostly negative review, but it really was very rough :c

The price was low, compared to other hotels in the area, which I knew made staying here a risk. I just needed a place to sleep. Didn’t need a whole bunch of amenities, and I didn’t want anything fancy. I went in with low expectations and needs. Just wanted bare necessities. Sadly, I found myself still regretting the stay, wishing I had just payed $30 extra for a nicer place nearby.

The room’s smell was so bad and I never became nose-blind to it. My bathroom was locked when I entered the room, which isn’t necessarily a big deal, but made me wonder if that means the bathroom wasn’t cleaned or was accidentally locked by a cleaner. The bathroom’s quality seemed ok though! Albeit, the water had a bit of a smell to it. Might be a quality of the area and not the fault of the hotel. The bed was springy and put pressure on certain points of my back. I could hear people shifting in their beds in the rooms next to me. Heard lots of banging from upstairs at around 3am. My room was right by the highway and the low sound-suppression meant I would hear every high-speed 18-wheeler zoom by, often waking me up. The interior of the room felt really oppressive to me, and I had really bad anxiety as a result.

The air-conditioning in my room was nice, and the tv has On-Demand which was super nice. I still managed to get enough sleep to safely drive the next day. Staff were super nice and helpful. Location was convenient.

We’ve had to prepare ourselves for game day experiences at multiple facilities around the area so, we prepared ourselves for the worst. But, surprisingly this was not the worst place we’ve seen. So if you are looking for a quick place to sleep after a game and not looking for a 4 or 5 star facility, then we would recommend this place, especially last minute when everything is booked up. The young lady at the front desk as we checked in @ midnight after a night game was pleasant to deal with.

It was a decent place. Nothing either good or bad to say about it. For $120, it's about what you might expect. Everything was clean and in order. The only negative thing I could say is to tell housekeeping to dial back on the room 'air freshener'......it was a bit overwhelming when we first got there, but we turned on the fan and were gone for a few hours and when we came back, it was ok.

I called back the next morning to ask and she said she would find out but it’s still no credit to my accounts and no phone call back to explain why they are still charging me when the room had no heat and snelled like a trash dumpster.it I paid extra for insurance so I still should not have been charged when it was impossible to stay there.
