The rooms were clean but had a very strong disinfectant & musty smell. The grass around the hotel was very overgrown.
Could feel the springs in the mattress, so it wasn't comfortable to sleep on. The owners were very accommodating & helpful in finding a way for our group to watch the baseball game together.

I stayed in room 223 on 10/12/2024, there was mold all over the shower, the shower curtain was ripped off the wall so the show curtain wouldn’t stay shut. The towels were dirty and smelt musty. The front desk attendant was rude, and disrespectful while checking in. I would have rather stayed in my vehicle at this point.

Dirty and Smelly

The whole place smelled like old urine. There were stains on the tub and curtains. The bathroom door was broken and had obscenities carved into it. We were supposed to stay 2 nights, when I went to the front desk they had no other rooms to give me and refused to cancel the stay or even the 2nd night. Had to get a different hotel room elsewhere and everyone is refusing to give me a refund.

There was an unpleasant odor in the lobby and no air conditioning in the hallway, but the AC in my room worked well. The desk clerk was business-like--don't expect to receive a warm welcome. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I appreciated the mini-fridge but the microwave didn't work. Security at the first-floor window consisted of a couple pieces of wood jammed into the track. There's a McDonalds just across the highway that opens at 5 am, which was convenient for getting a morning cup of coffee. I selected this hotel because i just needed a bed for one night and the price was right. You get what you pay for.

This is a pretty basic motel, with coffee and creamer in the lobby, and empty vending machines. My room was quiet and comfortable, in spite of being opposite the ice machine. I only heard it operate once.

The polyester sheets were amazingly comfortable, and the shower and sink worked well. The toilet seat had some sort of plastic covering that was peeling, and would best be replaced, but it was clearly very clean.

Wood composite flooring also contributed to the overall feeling of cleanliness.

Please stay elsewhere. Pool is a sauna, anx germ infested. Management did nothing to solve the issue. Management also accused us of smoking in the room, and wanted to change air conditioner in the room, but would not give us a different room to stay in. It was terrible, would not recommend to anyone.

This stay provided everyhing we needed. Clean, no carpet(love no carpet, great shower with wonderful water temperature. Wonderful TV selection for movies. Coffee provided. Pool available but didn’t use it. They also have laundry for $3 a load. A grocery store, Walmart, food options close by. The downtown is quaint.
The couple who runs the motel are so nice. We decided we needed an extra day to stay. Our first night was booked through a third company, so the couple gave us a less charge for the second night

Booked the hotel based on pictures of the rooms. They must be old pictures. The room was clean but the left bottom corner of one of the beds was broken and we had to put the bible and telephobe books from inside the nightstand under the corner to keep it from tipping. The remote for the Tv didnt work and there was no way to change the channel and it was stuck on the 6 channel news mix. The hallway smelled like every person in the hotel was smoking pot (and we have a ten year old with us) and when my husband took a shower, there was a cockroach in his towel. It was one of the worst hotels we have stayed at. We had no choice but to stay and thank goodness our stay was less than 8 hours. I would not recommend staying here because you will not sleep well either if for no other reason than that the beds are also really hard.

The hotel felt like a dormitory for field workers. It was pretty filthy. You can tell they rarely clean anything. The room was pretty worn out. I saw ants, and some other bug that I'm not sure what it was in my room. Because it was cheap I can overlook some things, but then the wifi barely worked at all which is really more than I could bare.....

Overall, a fine value. I wasn't expecting a platinum experience. The rooms were a bit outdated, which is fine, but little details could have been attended to. Things like missing trim pieces, chunks of paint missing, cracked lampshades - easy fixes if one took the time. There was no breakfast (it was advertised), and the indoor pool had no circulating water (filter, heater), and the water was cloudy and unhealthy-looking.

I was assigned to a nonsmoking room that was surrounded by rooms containing guests who were allowed to smoke. The smoke odor permeated my nonsmoking room and was unpleasant for someone who has allergies and strongly dislikes the smell of smoke.

There were burn holes in the bedspread and loose cermaic tiles in the bathroom.

A no frills hotel that has a friendly staff. I stay here sometimes when I go to see my daughters family. I'm looking for a place to lay my head and this place fits the bill.

It was dirty in every way. The smoke alarm on ceiling was wrapped with a bag. The floor and trim around toilet and tub were dirty. Bath mat looked like it had never been cleaned. Walls and baseboard all scuffed up. We were hoing to take the loss and leave, but decided to try and sleep and leave as early as possible. I couldn't believe Expedia would represent this motel and allow their customers to purchase a room like this. I took pictures gor proof of my complaints.

Clean but...

Although staff was courteous they haven't offered free breakfast for years just coffee yet listing promotes free breakfast. The table in the room was unstable. The bolts were so loose. I had to hand tighten them, and still didn’t feel comfortable putting my computer on the table. It was nice to be on the main floor, but there is no sound in insulation when someone walks on the second floor at five in the morning. The sofa in the lobby had a sheet over it and the bushes and trees at the front of the motel, looked like they hadn’t been trimmed at least all year. If there weren’t cars in the parking lot, I would’ve thought the place was abandoned.

No way! Price was 20.00 too high with comparable

They didn’t check an ID at check in. They asked me not to make a mess. The place looked abandoned, dark and old. I called the front desk to report someone being beaten in the next room. They yelled at them to be quiet from the hallway.
Most hotels along I-80 like this and other Econolodges are 20.00 less and in better shape.

Too expensive and not worth the price. No breakfast of any kind.

Not a great experien e - kind of sktechy, smelled of smoke, and it did not feel like a safe p!ace. The bed was hard, and the bed covers were only a sheet and a very thin blanket. Would not chose to stay here again

Do yourself a favor DON'T !

By far the worst hotel we stayed in on our 3 week vacation it was filthy it Stunk your feet would stick to the floor. The best thing they could do to this place is tear it down and rebuild. I don't think it has been painted or cleaned for years. And my husband and I are not that picky. Do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else. And Toilet wouldn't flush. We were on 2nd Floor. Stinks like Cigarette smoke.

Dim and dinged, but adequate on a budget.

For a short stay where you're out of the room much, much more than in it, this is an adequate, no-frills place to land. The room on the first floor was clean, but in real need of upgrade and repair. Like many budget options, the carpeting has been replaced with more sanitary laminate, but the new baseboards are shorter than the old; no effort was made to improve or cover the difference cosmetically, leaving a dirty, ragged \"ring\" around the bottom of the room's walls. The entirety of the room's walls contents were worn; chipped, scraped, dinged, and a bit dingy. The hairdryer was inoperable. The fluorescent light above the vanity took several minutes to turn on (a surprise, after flipping the light switch and nothing happening at all), and all the bulbs in the room were under-wattaged, adding to the room's dim and dingy feel. The microwave oven had been *painted in some way to cover past damage. The tv remote was a bit grimy, and held together with multiple applications of tape. There were a few very small dark spots on the bottom bedsheet, but they seemed \"baked in,\" so after inspection not much concern was given. Hot water was readily available. Though stay was brief, I was offered clean towels after just one night. Again and *importantly, it's worth noting that most everything did seem clean. I never once saw a bug or any evidence of bugs. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the complementary coffee was hot and fresh.

Not worth the money

The room was very run down. We had to sleep on top of the comforter since the sheets were either totally worn down or had not been changed since the last person slept there. I went to put something on the nightstand and had to kill an ant on the telephone next to the bed. Could not wait to leave in the morning.

The property was run down, had broken screens laying in the landscaping, dirty furniture, bugs/ants in the bathroom, filthy windows and an odor I can't explain. The breakfast area was covered in sheets, probably due to covid shutdown. The room itself had new flooring which helped. Our non-smoking room smelled of smoke. The linens were full of holes but appeared clean. Lots of staff (??) sitting around behind the desk. The entire property needs a good cleaning, airing out and a good bug person. We will not be back to say the least.

DON'T STAY HERE

Don't even consider staying here. The smells from the minute you walk in will make you sick. When walking to the room, we had to cover our faces because of the smells (marijuana, smoke). It was horrible. When getting to the room - the entire room was filthy. DISGUSTING. Dirt and grime on the walls, sheets, floors - every surface was covered in dirt, smudges and completely disgusting. We immediately left the room, complained and exited. The smells were baked into our clothing. DO NOT STAY HERE - turn around, go down the street.

We have children and booked a stay here for nostalgias sake. There were people living at this motel and not in a good way. The hallways smelled of drugs and other strong odors. Suspicious stains on the bedspread. There was food left in the refrigerator and the refrigerator had leaked water all over the floor. We left the room and booked at another property. Management responded only with telling me that they were defrosting the fridge and that was why there was water on the floor. When I notified them that we couldn’t stay at the property because the smells and the dirty room, the lady at the front desk hollered at someone in the back office and he came up and started to argue with us that it wasn’t dirty. That’s when you know it’s time to leave.

Not so great for the price

Overall the motel had lots of different smells, whether it be cigarette smoke weed or food. The smells were throughout the entire Motel, thankfully the room was fine. The mattresses were completely worn out however. The remote only worked if you aimed it at the back of the TV therefore you had to get up out of bed to use it. Covid has been going on for more than a year yet the website still says breakfast is included. Once you get to the motel it says due to Covid breakfast will not be served for the next week.

Uncomfortable bed, run down property

Bed was VERY uncomfortable. It was slightly softer than sleeping on a rock. Room was clean but property had a run down feel to it. Staff were not friendly but were efficient - they seemed annoyed that I was there.
Multiple signs threatening high extra fees (eg: $250 for taking your pet on the elevator) were not very welcoming
