Room was ehh

Check in was a little slow. Room was ok. I reserved a queen room but got a full bed. There were blood stains on the floor, on a few towels and in the bed sheets. The bed was not comfortable at all. They had half a roll of toilet paper. Only had shampoo and no hand soap. The cool thing about the room was the jacuzzi on the room.

In general the room was nice and spacious but they gave me the handicap room I didn't ask for it. The first thing I noticed when I walked in the door was a heavy stench of body odor sweat yes they had a couch there but it was staying on them all sides and it was pretty mushy that couch needs to go it was in the high 40s and low 50s so the heater was on so whenever the thermostat kicked it on it usually blew cold air for the first 10 15 seconds and since the heater blows right onto the bed it kind of made it a little uncomfortable other than that place was great

Older motel that has been nicely renovated and refreshed, quaint with some nice modern features. Well kept with obvious pride of owners. Were understanding with my mistake in booking and were more than willing to accommodate my mistake.

There are no vents over the private tub or in the shower. So if you like hot water be prepared to have the whole unit extremely humid. Bedsheets were stained and don’t wear any lighter color socks because the floor will get them dirty pretty quick. Other than those issues no complaints.

What I like was the price. Plus You can see improvement, the building seems outdated from the outside, but once you go inside, you can tell they’re investing in it. They don’t have carpet they have a wooden floor modern lamps, tv, bathroom mirror… What I didn’t like was the fact that the TV doesn’t work seems like the Wi-Fi it’s poor. You can spend hours trying to see something on it. Also, when I was checking out, I look under my bed to see if there was anything that I was forgetting And I saw a lot of trash. It seems like they throw everything under the bed. I’ll try to include pictures. Room 105

Not as described on hotel.com

If you’re in dire need of a place to stay for the night and on a budget this is the place for you. If you’re in town to celebrate a loved one and have a romantic trip this is not for you. I found this place on hotel.com the pictures looked appealing with a jacuzzi, big screen tv and newer amenities. Upon arriving it looked fine at face value, entering the check in office I was overwhelmed with a strong aroma of middle eastern food smell. The smell would be nice at a restaurant, not something I care for at my place of stay. I was given my key and to my surprise the room was not as advertised, no jacuzzi’s and the room was not clean. I brought my concerns to the front desk and was left with a you get what you pay for response, not their exact response but it was heavily implied. I also brought up a mess spilt on the tv and was handed a rag, I responded with I’ll be waiting in my room for someone to come clean it. The pictures speak for themselves Pros: Budget friendly Big screen TV Modern bathroom vanity mirror Cons: Filthy room Stained furniture Non working smoke alarm Exposed wiring Mold Stacked appliances leveled with cracker box. Poorly installed furniture and fixtures Thin walls or non insulated wall
