The property is disgustingly dirty. The showers are covered in scum. The non smoking rooms smell like 60 years of heavy cigarette smoke. The mattress appears to be used and abused. Towels are hard. Pillows are circles.

Smelled like cigarette smoke in the room. If these walls could talk I’m sure they’d puke. This is a last resort booking. Rooms need an overhaul. Terrible mattress and pillows.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was a decent place to stay. It’s an older motel. Clean room that I was in. Room was cleaned daily. It’s a top of the line motel but it does in a pinch if you only need a night or two stay

Liked: Staff & service
Last minute stop and they were very accommodating. Quiet room and free parking. The place needs updating, but I think they are aware of that already. Has that 80’s vibe and still smell of the same smoke. At the end of the day, I slept well.

This hotel is very uncared for, I’m not sure they invest any of the money back into it at all. The beds and furniture probably have not been updated since the hotel was built. The heater in the room is very loud and I could not sleep with it on. TV remote did not work. Shower/Tub looks like it’s from the 90’s. It’s a good thing I brought my own blanket and pillow because there is no way I would have climbed in that bed. Don’t waste your money on this place.

Defrauded Money!!!
They defrauded me damage deposit of $100 on visa payment. Unreturned. I did not authorize them to use my Visa card. They made me put $300 cash on top of the $100 security they took without my authorization when I told them clearly, I will pay in cash instead. The heater did not work, the lights did not work. The windows were busted. They only cleaned the room once for a four night stay. Most of the time, there was no one at front desk.
