STAFF IS TRYING. They are clearly trying to make this investment work and it shows. I used the hotel as I knew our time in the area was limited so I wanted to pay less for a hotel. Every interaction with staff was pleasant. I appreciated their efforts to keep this place moving in a positive direction.

I gave a poor review for 1 reason: SECURITY.
The motel was not secure.
1 back door seemed not to latch/close completely.
FAR worse, the other back door nearest to my room (I think I was in 159) had a sign on it saying \"Do Not UIse\" but was blocked open with a wedge of wood all day my first day there and still at 5 AM next morning; so certainly ALL NIGHT!
Truly unbelievable!
In the morning when I checked out, I told the front desk clerk she should immediately talk to the manager, a Mr. Patel, and explain how egregiously bad this is.

There is no fence around the property to keep out intruders; so anyone can approach the back doors completely unseen.

I explained that a professional thief can get through a hotel room door literally in just seconds.
And I told her also that if a woman or a child was assaulted by a criminal who walked unopposed and unseen through that back door, the owner's liabilty would have been uncontestable and they truly might have a loss of their property after being taken to court, as their insurance company likely would have legal grounds to refuse to pay for damages.
Very nice staff.
Clean room and a comfortable bed. Good shower/bath.
A very good price for a place convenient to the interstate.
But that demonstrable indifference to security is completely unacceptable.
I sincerely hope this situation has already been remedied.

I thought was the AC so I unplugged the AC but still making noise. The neighbor room music too loud. I got charged for $5 a night for processing fee I called the hotel they said the charge was for booking processing fee because I booked through Expedia.

Avoid this place unless your life depends on it. I was just traveling through and this was one of the only affordable bookings, apparently because of Foxl The Country Fest. When I arrive at 11:00 p.m. there were more people hanging out in the parking lot looking shady then one would like. Sitting around in camp chairs, etc. The front desk attendant was great, the only positive of the situation. The room was absolutely disgusting, the sink and the shower completely dirty and stained, holes in the towels, the TV remote had dirty tape stuck off to it, the lampshade was hanging off, the mirror was screwed to the wall in the bathroom crudely, and just generally dirty everywhere. As I had already been driving for 10 hours, I inspected the bed and the linens appeared to be clean enough, so I slept there, tried not to touch anything else, and left. The mattress is a very old spring mattress with a dip in the middle.

Place is being remodeled, but they tried putting me in a room that was not yet finished... then switched me to a room that already had someone in it. After the 3rd try, it was a halfway decent room but TV didn't work. At least the water was hot in shower and fairly clean. They might need to rethink the crew they have painting for the remodel... it's very sloppy work.

In all honesty, don’t stay here even for the price, the pool was the “nicest part” but really dirty and freezing, ALOT of sketchy people which is not normally a problem but there were undoubtedly questionable things happening on this property, it smelled terrible everywhere, even the room did not feel or look clean. There was some guy who seemed to work there, I say this because when I walked In he was sitting with the manager talking in the chair area. But this man was supposedly on a phone call in the main hallway by the lobby for 4 hours, staring every time we walked by, long story short we left early after being there for only 4 hours. I would not recommend to my enemy, go anywhere else seriously.

I booked a room as a stop on a cross country trip. We were unimpressed: the check-in surprised us with a $100 deposit for incidentals, hallway carpets were dirty and the facility common areas were worn and dirty. Exterior doors were broken and would not close or lock. The room was only marginally better: worn furnishings, broken chair, and clearly used bedsheets that had stains and burn holes in them. Air conditioner was noisy and produced a rancid smell if it had to go to heating mode, so we turned it off (power switch was broken, too). We left as quickly as we could, and I hope I get my deposit back.

Hotel needs updating badly.
Had an issue with the toilet draining so I stopped at the front desk to ask that it be looked into. The gentleman asked me if I had plunged it yet?? Huh? I don’t carry a plunger in my luggage. He said they would bring me one. For real? One it is not my issue to fix and two I paid for my stay, how do you feel it is my responsibility to fix your issue? I don’t live there nor do I work there. We left for the day and came back to 0 room service, our keys didn’t work and the toilet wasn’t fixed. After requesting it be fixed again someone came and plunged it and while doing so let the plunger drip all over the bath mat and the floor and didn’t even clean it up. Apparently hospitality isn’t your strong point. Never again will I grace them with my presence

We did not even stay and the hotel has refused to refund the money.

There was a disagreement over what \"pet friendly\" meant and instead of working with us the manager became rude and hostile with a man because he didn’t have his hearing aids in and did not understand what was being said. The manager was so rude that his desk clerk was almost in tears and kept apologizing for the treatment. The traveler was a man who just retired from 21 years in the Army and was traveling to get home to his family across the US. He wears those hearing aids thanks to his tours in Iraq. He deserved at the the respect of being treated decently.

HE WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO THE DAY'S INN AND BOTH HE, AND THE PETS, WERE WELCOMED.

This is probably the worst hotel ive ever stayed at. We used it once and it was bad. Booked on accident a second time driving across the country and the second time was even worse. Dirty, everything broken. We walked i to the room and there were dresser drawers full of someones personal belongings and it looked like someone was living there. We had to chase down the managers because the phone in the room didnt work. He apologized and said the maid must not have cleaned the room and put us across the hall and we opened the refrigerator and it smelled like a dead body. Went back up front because again the phone didnt work in room to the front desk. Then he asked in a snide way, what do you want, should i give you a refund or should we try another room. I explained that it was late and the room was non refundable as it was bookrf through third party and then he put me in a 3rd room. And there was no hot water. After running for 10 minutes it finally warmed up to lukewarm. Breakfast was terrible and when we checked out they didnt even apologize for the inconveniences. DO NOT GO HERE

When we arrived, I asked for a bathroom to use. It's broken. Asked if the pool and hot tub are running, It's broken. Front desk asked if I wanted the two (2) reservations joined and paid, I agreed to have the charges done. Upon the second reservation, which extended our stay, housekeeping tried to enter the room when the 1st reservation ended and ordered us out of the room. We declined and the manager was called to see why we weren't leaving. After we explained and had housekeeping try to enter the room 4 times, the situation was cleared. But only after embarrassing us to the whole hotel as housekeeping made the situation aware to everyone. Other patrons run up and down halls all hours of night. We did not sleep well, and neither did our dog that we paid 25.00 extra per night. The back door is propped open for the ladies of the night to come visit other patrons. Hotel is across from a truck stop. Management does not enforce any reasonable rules for the protection of the guests. I had to fix the \"U\" shaped door lock in order to have a small sense of security while sleeping. The shower head trickled water out. After removal I found excessive thread tape in the opening. Once I removed excessive tape the shower worked. If you want towels you'll need to ask for them....And they do not have a surplus. You will have to turn yours in and pick up later when the washing is done.
Breakfast is waffles and instant oatmeal, if that suits your needs.
Recommend stay somewhere else.
