I was upgraded to a bungalow after I had to drive to a different hotel to check-in (this was before 8 p.m., so I don't believe I would be a late check-in). The bungalow had no lighting outside and was very dark. Overall, the bungalow was actually very nice but there were what appeared to be dirty towels and the bathroom smelled like mildew, although it appeared clean. The manager did her best to accommodate me but seemed like she was experiencing a staffing crisis, and I am wondering if this is why there were dirty towels. Also, the key from the previous occupant was still there. I am not sure how this place would be if more organized/better staffing.

Stephanie was AWESOME! We were running behind and she made sure to put our key in the afterhours and reassured us that all wouldbe ok. We called early in the day and again around 8 oclock ar night and she answereboth times very quickly and made us feel comfortable. The room was very nice and we enjoyed the kitchen. Overall avery peaceful and restful experience. We will definitely benack another time! 😊

Walking into the room, had a strong smell of mold. The shower was moldy, and the smell permeated the whole room. There were bugs on the walls. There was a coffee maker with creamer, etc. but no coffee. The soap/shampoo dispensers in the shower were broken. The office is never open so you need to go to another motel to check in and get your key. On the plus side, the bed was not too uncomfortable and the room seemed somewhat clean other than the bugs and mold. The window A/C unit worked okay.

I was there for only 45m. We got in late, had to drive to a different location to pick up my keys. When I went in and took a shower and went to go to the bathroom, the toilet did not fully flush. I had to flush a few times for just pee

Was clean and cute! Walking distance to a lot of places on the south side of town. Easy and exactly what we needed. Internet/streaming was a bit slow, but that was minor.

Great seamless check in process! However, the rest was history as we were greeted to beds with brown color stained sheets, a non functioning air conditioning unit, and dirty mugs that were not usable.

Chaotic check in but good stay

When we first arrived we were told to pick up the key from a sister property. I got the key, opened the door and found someone else’s belongings. I was confused and as I just walked out the door and locked it, an elderly couple yelled at me asking me why I was lurking around their room. I showed them the envelope for the key and we were both confounded. Contacted the property manager and she was very apologetic about the incident, explaining that I had the master key and my room was double booked. Eventually we got a different room to stay for the night. Stephanie was polite and helpful despite the incident.

Check in was super easy. They don’t do late check-ins but you can get your key at nearby motel. Room was ok. You can see them trying to make it cute with small details but my biggest concern was the door. I couldn’t for the life of me get it to close/lock at first because the bolt wouldn’t go inside the plate. I basically had to slam it close to finally get it to work. Air conditioning worked well for a 95 degree day. Bed sheets were nice and soft but bed itself wasn’t the most comfortable. They had an ice machine right outside just wish they would protect the scoop a bit better. Could have been a bit cleaner but I did get a “cheaper” motel. Their sister hotel Trees motel has a fire pit for the evening which was cool but this lot was more spacious for car and quieter. What I do love about motels is being able to park right in front because i always forget things in the car and rather do small locals then bigger chains when i can. Just not the nicest of the ones I’ve done but also not the worst!

Worst experience ever. Dirty room, bathtub had some stains of I don’t know what, bed headrest had some sort of liquid stains on them. No coffe for the coffe maker, no hand soap, blind didn’t close properly cause it was Brocken. Had to put a blanket in the window to cover the light, only 1 roll of toilet paper for 4 people, we had to buy our own and we found dead roaches in the floor. And you can’t ask for anything cause the checking was in a different hotel so there was no one at the place to ask for stuff. By the way, we found old socks in one of the drawers and the set of Keyes that they gave us weren’t even the same.
