The room was unfortunately dirty, I always look at the bedsheets and mattress to make sure there are no bedbugs. The mattress was filthy and stained, right behind was a condom wrapper, the toilet seat was broken. I complained and was given a different room with no improvement. We didn’t stay the weekend as planned, and booked a room at another motel. Since I didn’t stay, I requested a refund for the second night. There was with some hesitation that they would return the money. As of today, I don’t see it reflected on my account, but it is still the weekend so I’ll check during the week. Don’t book here, I didn’t do my due diligence and research the reviews, but I see that I am not the only person with this experience. I’m surprised the Expedia even has it listed on their sight.

I enjoyed my stay at the only inconvenience was not being able to connect to the WiFi and need to go over there we page and remove where it says laundry room available. There's no available laundry room said the front desk. Other than that it was clean, safe, quiet and everything was walking distance. 👍

This could be a very nice place. It is broken down. There was no furniture in my room on the desk. They could do a lot better with simple things, but they choose to be the low cost provider. They low cost motel slept with the lights on so come out.

This property has potential but is not up to standards. Facility is old and needs major updating. We rented 3 rooms all were in similar co dition. TV's in 2 rooms did not work. There is no ice and no working vending machines the mgr did give ice he had. There is no seals on the bottom of the doors so easy access for insects, etc. The stairway to top floor is very narrow. There was nothing to hang clothes on or to place luggage we just laid ours on the floor. There was a microwave and refrigerator and hairdryer. The hotel location could demand higher rates but at this time much improvement is required. Mgr advised he has recently acquired the property had plans to make improvements.
