Like the rooms. They are remodeling so there is some areas under construction. But well worth it in the sweet rooms. The only thing we didn't really like were the pillows. Instead of 4 normal sized pillows on the bed there were 4 half sized pillows.

We booked 2 nights and left to go to another hotel after the first night. The room has a horrible moldy smell. We bought some air fresheners but it didn't help and it was unbearable. The toilet was leaking and the room felt dirty overall. We've stayed here a few times over the years and the hotel has completely gone downhill.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very friendly. Check-in and check-out went fast and smoothly. The rooms have had some up-grades to them, but my room was a bit musty. The rooms did have a nice small refrigerator, microwave and a small 1 cup coffee maker. The outlets in the lamps worked, but my plugs did not fit tightly in them so I was checking to see if things were being charged or not. Overall, my stay was fine, but typically stay in a higher end hotel, not motel. Also, my vehicle was backed into from a customer at the restaurant next door. The hotel staff called my immediately and the restaurant owner was also very helpful.

Needs a few upgrades but staff is wonderful

It’s in walking distance to 2 restaurants. Easy access to town. Staff is always super friendly. The beds and pillows could use an upgrade but they are okay for a night.

The property I have stayed at many times is not the property it used to be. The Management onsite as well as the owner Mr. Patel has zero care if you’re taken care of. Actually he will tell you to “leave the property”, the only only employee they I can say without a doubt deserves to be valued and hopefully you come in contact with her instead of the ratchet little girl, would be miss. Whitney! She deserves better than that place! Avoid at all cost, save your money and go down the street some better beds lol

Never be back

The hotel had a few living bugs when I contacted them bout this I was told it’s and exterior motel and they can’t help that. Last time I checked my house has exterior doors and I don’t have beetle or spider problems. And as you can see they suggested I check out and didn’t give me any other options.
