This place is aweful came from out of town and wanted somewhere to stay the place stinks. Its nothing like what is shown on the net. Imagine recovering from cancer low immunity and when asked for a refund they said i booked throught 3rd party so take it up with them which i did. They refused to pay any of the money for the two nights back. Had to be driving around at night trying to find another hotel had to sleep in my car at walmart parking lot and it was cold. I swear it will not be well with those people.

There were strands of hair on the bathroom floor, and the bed didn’t appear clean either, so imagine the condition of the tub.

Met my expectations. Hotels.com randomly booked me a smoking room but they were able to give me a non smoking room at check in. If you’re sensitive to smoke, I would look somewhere else. The room was large and met our needs. But again, it’s an economy motel so you’re not going to get a whole lot beyond a bed to sleep on and a bathroom. Staff were friendly enough and helpful when my key card didn’t work (magnetic strip cancelled out being too close to my phone).
