The staff and the front desk was amazing. However, the hotel itself was so disappointing. It was dirty. There was roaches in the room. The bed had stained the chairs and the tables. It was absolutely disgusting. The only reason I gave this place to two star was because the staffing was amazing.

This place was ok, it smelled like pot whenever we opened the door and we don’t smoke. There were 2 large roaches that appeared on the 2nd night and the bed made noises. I would most likely not stay there again.

Best thing about this room is the bed was super, super comfortable. If you just need a place to catch some Zzzz's when you are on the road, then this is a great value for a low price. Place may be less safe then others in the area because room axcess is NOT from an interior corridor. This is a very old, drafty building that has had a cosmetic remodel. New fixtures, new floor tile, and a new coat of paint. But the floor was noteably uneven, with a big sag in the middle. New improvements are already showing wear. Room was provided with 2 thread bare towels. Over all, a great value, but not someplace i would choose for a longer stay.

Nasty

Horrible . Switched to 3 different rooms because they were nasty. Pillows covered in mold and told they didn’t have any to change. I mopped the floor with their towels because it was disgusting! The towels were black after. Will never stay again .

Roach Motel

They have a roach infestation. Woke up around 2 am to use the restroom and there was a large roach crawling on the shower wall. When we got up for the morning another smaller roach was on the sink. The bathroom floor was dirty, especially around the baseboards. Previous reviews say pest control comes weekly but I find that hard to believe. Im trying to upload photos of the roach on the sink but its not working from my phone.

We've stayed here 3 yrs in a row on our way to FL. Like that its convenient to interstate and several places to eat. Also that it takes pets which is great. This is the first time we've not been happy. When we got to our room the door was open, walked in and was hit with the smell of cigarette smoke. Very heavy. Its a no smoking facility so why do people not follow the rules. Asked for another room. It was much better smell wise. Went to use the tv remite and someone had stolen the batteries! Most of these issues are the people using the rooms not the establishment but this room did have some mold in the shower and a dead bug which should not be there if cleaned good.

I needed a room for the night. Good in a pinch. My wife would not be happy staying here if she were with me, but she’s not so all I needed was a bed and a heater.
