My room was given to another person only because her first name was same as mine. I asked for a better rate and was told I should have called hotel directly!! Very disappointed!!

Really enjoyed our stay. Nicely updated old style motor lodge. Hardwood floors, tile bathroom, phone charging station on night stand, big flat screen tv, good wifi, and rocking chairs out front! Could not have been more satisfied. Friendly, helpful staff, very clean room, very comfortable bed. Will definitely be back!
