Very scary

We chose this location since it is really close to the hospital where my husband had surgery. The staff was accommodating and helped with extra pillows and such for post op. The room was ok, it was clean but the bed spread and blankets had burn holes in them. There is no coffee pot or microwave in the rooms. There was so much noise and blaring music, that it woke us up. Apparently there are at a miminum of 4 people that live here, and they all huddle by the front door. Totally regretted my choice of hotels!

Check in went ok. I did have to tell the front desk attendant Sharla that I had 2 rooms 3 times. Once checked in the people who reside at the motel sat outside with all their animals. The 1st room was clean, however the beds only had 1 pillow per guest amd very thin. Upon starting showers I had to go to the front desk to ask for towels and washrags. Courtesy small bars of soap were provided but no shampoo or conditioner available. There were also no cups or glasses to drink out of. The refridgerator sounded like it was an airplane getting ready to take off we unplugged it from the wall. Only 1 useable electrical outlet was available to charge 4 phones and 3 headsets. The 2nd room hadnt even been completed and ready for the other 3 in our party to stay in. They arrived at 1245am and when I first checked in the attendant Sharla said it would be cleaned and ready for when the rest of our family got there 7 hours and 45 minutes later it wasnt! The person who was suppose to do the housekeeping stated to my daughter "they knew I wanted to go out tonight". There were only 1 pillow on each bed. The lobby reeked of drugs. Trying to go to sleep at 11pm was very difficult because of the numerous animals in the building were barking constantly and we had to be up at 430am to be ready for the State Trap Championship competition. No coffee was made this morning and no attendant to check out with either.

At least you get a bed...

On check in, the gal was very nice. The common bathroom keeps locking you out, the bathroom in the room locks you in, you have to play hide and seek to find the light switches. There is no coffee pot, microwave or hair dryer. You only get 2 small towels, so if there is more than one person, you have to bring them down to the desk to be washed and returned (I never got them back, so no shower for the other three people in our party). No clock or Kleenex. Oh, and there was poop on the floor by the pool, dog barking, kids running up and down the hallway.

This was not the first time for me to stay at this location. My first experience was good; however, this stay i just completed was the exact opposite. The halls/rooms were very noisy. Thursday night the other patrons did not quiet down until 4am Friday morning then they didn't quiet down til 2am Saturday morning. This is not acceptable. When I mentioned it to the front desk, he said I was basically lying. He worked there all night and it was not noisy and I was full of crap. Also when he went to check the room at checkout, he accused me of smoking in my room. He said it had a bad smoking smell like I had done that in the room. Well let me tell you. the whole hall smelled of cigarette smoke. It smelled like that as soon as you turned the corner to go down the hall to get to my room. He was very disrespectful, and I will probably not stay here again.

Unprofessional Staff and unsafe.

The front desk and house keeping staff were smoking weed in the front lobby and the staff then went outside and stared at us when we were getting our luggage out of the car. We packed up and drove home. Did not feel safe

Cheap. Comfy mattress. Not much else going for it.

The entire hotel smells like mildew. The room had been partially re-done: new furniture and floor, but old bathroom, holes in walls, etc. The mattress was comfy, but there were holes in the sheet that somehow managed to be scratchy. There were black oily fingerprints in the shower and on the shower curtain. The base of the toilet hadn't been cleaned recently. The walls are very thin, so we heard every conversation in the halls. No breakfast, which we knew going in. There was coffee in the mornings. We are very far from being coffee snobs (day old microwaved coffee is fine), but both of us took a sip and dumped out the rest.

My room was filthy! The sheets looked like it had dog paw prints, running across it, and there were stains on both the comforter and the sheets. There was a dirty washcloth in the sink and a towel that I was told was clean, was laying across the back of the toilet. It was a no smoking room and smelled horribly like cigarette smoke. The TV didn’t work, and I was told that none of the TVs in the building were working because they were updating something. I asked if I could get a different room and I was told that there were no other rooms available because their housekeeper had recently retired and they hadn’t found anyone to replace her. So, I’m assuming they didn’t have any other rooms prepared, because the parking lot didn’t have many vehicles in it. I was exhausted and in the middle of nowhere, and I didn’t have a choice to try to find somewhere else to stay. I asked if I could get even a partial refund and was told absolutely not. There were people fighting and drunk in the parking lot as well as drunk in the hallway of the building. I was scared to death! I am not a picky person when it comes to staying in a motel room. As long as it’s clean, comfortable, and safe, it is satisfactory to me. This room and property, were none of the above!
