This is a tired hotel. Signage in the room appeared it was once a motel 8. Of the two keycards given, one never worked. Then the other stopped as we were leaving.

Breakfast was bleak. The hotel remote was gross. Bedding was okay.

The parking lot is cratered into the property.

You get what you pay for.

In our room, the carpet was wet (like it was recently shampooed), but it still smelled of urine…didn’t feel comfortable without shoes on. Location was handy for a one night stay on our cross country trip. Probably will not stay again, however.

Pretty basic low budget hotel, but far enough off the beaten path that it was quite and felt safe. Room was okay, but carpet was very old and dirty. TV in my room didn't work, but not much lost. Continental breakfast was basic, but decent enough for the price.

I called Hotels.com customer service for a refund and still haven’t received one because the hotel has not responded to them.

There was (working) air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Bed was comfortable, but did not have either a blanket or a spread on it; just a sheet. I did find a blanket on the shelf. The lady checking me in at the front desk was eating her supper while checking me in. The tiles in front of my bathroom sink were either broken/cracked or loose due to the grout being missing. Only about half the water came through the showerhead, the other half came out the tub spout, so showering took a little longer with lack of water. Only thing for grab-n-go breakfast was a HoneyBun, a yogurt or cereal. Overpriced!

Very nice, affordable and clean for the most part. The staff at night were the best super nice and welcoming.

The only thing is the breakfast is from 6-9am and we heard it was until 11am. We came down around 915am and nothing it was all gone (whatever it was). I asked them if I could just have a little something to get on the road and they gave us a pastry (which I appreciate) but why not have it posted in the lobby and also have it until like 10am? So thats my biggest complaint is the breakfast time was not communicated well.

First entering the room it smelled really bad of dirty feet, or animal. The stench was so bad that i had to go to the dollar store to purchase deodorizers, small space fragrances and sanitizers to reduce the smell. I have to say that we were able to rid some of the stench but it lingered our whole stay.
The refrigerator inside had animal hairs in it i spent more time cleaning the room rather than relaxing.
I found wrappers in the room under the bed and even a dirty sock.
It's true when they say you get what you pay for. I am going to have to upgrade where we stay from here on out and spend a little more for something clean and well kept.

I added my adult daughter to the reservation so she could check in & Expedia did not make it visible to the hotel. So they would not allow her to check in causing me to have to detour from the wedding i was heading to so i could get checked in. The lady was very rude to my daughter, which was unnecessary. The bathroom in my room was horrible. There was mold in the cracks at the top of the surround. There was a patch where leaks must have occurred on the ceiling above the toilet and the wall behind the toilet. They were almost 2 feet wide & long and all looked bad enough for me to take pictures. would not recommend the place to anyone.

It's a clean place to sleep...

The hotel is older, but still clean and functional. All we needed was a clean place to sleep and this filled the bill. The hotel staff could have been friendlier. They were just very matter-of-fact. The breakfast was not what we expected--just sugared cereal really. The coffee in the lobby was undrinkable; the room coffee maker brewed a pot that looked more like weak tea than coffee. As a person who loves her coffee, this is a deal breaker. I probably wouldn't stay here again, unless there were no other options.

Everything seemed to be done as cheaply as possible, such as not even bedspread. Just a hotel banner style footer on bed. Supposedly a very expensive new smoke alarm system added, but blankets have cigarette holes in them and burn marks on sink. Heavily warned about smoking policy by staff when checked in. The breakfast did not include much and coffee station was not in same area. When i went to the very sparse breakfast was watched by staff like i was going to steal something , very unfriendly. I would not recommend to anyone unless it was all their buudhet could afford.

This property used to be a Super 8, and OYO has yet to put their signage up, which made it a little harder to find (we had to stop at another hotel to ask directions). It is a perfectly adequate motel and meets the standards for a budget property. The room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The BIG plus for me were the pillows, which were amazing!

The property is old, and that is reflected in the furnishings, but overall if you're looking for a low-cost place to lay your head for a night, this is as good as any!

The rooms were dirty with no blanket on the bed and no working ac or heat. The shower was held up by 1 volt. The smell was also unbearable. I contacted Expedia to get a refund and they could not contact them. I went in myself to voice my complaints and they refunded me on the spot. I thought that unfortunate ordeal was done until an hour later I got hit with a no show charge even though I had checked in and was already refunded. I am fighting to get my money back now.
