I am a seasoned traveler and stayed at many 4-5 hotels as well as 2-3 star hotels and I never experienced the front desk clerk knock on the door, like at this HJ Motel, not even say good morning and state “you have a 10 minute warning”, and walk away. It was 10:50am, is a knock on the door necessary? I was perplexed. I assumed she meant for checkout. “Warning”? Rude! Additional customer service training is needed for staff. Perhaps, a phone call stating pls. be reminded check out is at 11am would have been more appropriate. That’s it. Nevertheless, Check in was pleasant. Toilet got clogged after 11pm and water spilled on floor, but that can happen anywhere and it was cleaned up right away. Will not be staying at this property again.

Do not stay here! The hotel is not like the pictures. Very old, dingy motel on the outside. After a very long day at the ICU with a sick relative, we found mice droppings on the beds and had to drive four hours home in the middle of the night because of this. No one would assist us. I asked three attendants at the hotel for a refund. They laughed at me for not wanting to stay in a room with mice. They had me speak to the manager Nick who was arrogant and rude. I still have not been refunded for this stay. Oh and by the way this is a dingy motel, not a hotel. We drove past many nice hotels in the area. We spent two great nights at the Spring Hill Suites prior to getting stuck here. Stay any other place than this rat trap.

I was horrified at checkout when the very rude man on duty insisted on keeping $60 of my $100 deposit because there were a few spots of hair dye on the cheap $2 towels. When I asked "Are you telling me these are $15 towels?" he said "That's what we charge." It's called BLEACH first of all, and the spots would've come out. Secondly, way to rip off and take advantage of your patrons. I would never stay there again!!!

We welcome all feedback, and we appreciate your input. As we advise all of our patrons, an incidental fee is charged for linens and towels that are soiled with makeup and hair dyes. We make every effort to remove stains and clean items as best as possible. Unfortunately, sometimes, items can not be cleaned thoroughly and must therefore be discarded.
