Good place to rest your head

I only had two issues. The AC was kind of noisy and the room felt like it was damp. Everything had a damp feeling to it.

Good price for the quality

We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and well kept. There was a lot of light outside, so it was hard to get the room dark enough for good sleep, but it was also a comfort for security. We recommend a room further from the highway. Lots of traffic noise through the night, but overall, we were happy with our stay.

There was a picture of coffee urns in the office on the website, but not available there and no coffee in the rooms. I was charged an extra $100.00 for switching a 2 day room with an already booked 3 day because of the bedding arrangement. Both had been booked previously. If I had known this, we would have stayed in the one room and switched the next night with the other people. There is a bank on the left as you leave to get on the highway, that blocks the view of oncoming cars and trucks. We almost hit a vehicle because of this. This is a very busy road. The owner did have a band the one night for the guests. That was very nice.

The beds are way too firm for me!! By Sunday morning, I had the worse stiff neck that I still have on Thursday!! The room was adequate, I have stayed at this property prior, when it was Motel 6. Just a you approach the bathroom, there is a hole in the concrete slab under the wood floor. Every time this area was stepped on, the wood floor would lift up! The property is good, just needs some TLC!

Not great but is fine if you’re really just looking for somewhere to sleep. Seemed like a safe enough area. Super outdated and things definitely don’t get cleaned very often. Saw the cleaners stripping beds in other rooms prior to my check out and all they clean on the beds is the sheet. Beds were decently comfortable. Most lightbulbs were either blown or the whole light flickered.

Place to sleep, don’t expect anything nice.

Bed and pillows were uncomfortable. Room was Ok, but bathroom light didn’t work unless you tapped on the bulb, blanket had cigarette holes in it, toilet was loose and sat weird in the floor.
