The place is the dirtiest motel I’ve ever stayed at. There were years if soap scum in the sink in the bathroom. The shower curtain had a bunch of globs of dried nasty stuff all over it and the floor of the shower/bath was beyond filty with years of nastiness.

Liked: Amenities
Lobby is very nicely decorated, as are the rooms. Outdoor property (parking lot) is pretty small, the bathroom is a little dirty in nooks and crannies. But overall, it’s decent for the price.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This place was absolutely the filthiest motel that I’ve ever stayed.
Well suited for us and the dog. Only negative was the quality of the breakfast. Even the coffee was laughably weak and cold. Just assume that they do not offer breakfast.

The bed and or foundation was broken.
Only gave us towels for 1
Room was great, check in fast. Showercirtin rod probibited the bathroom door from opening all the way, but bathromm was good.
Getting to the location was a challenge as you have to drive through diffirent parkong lots to get to..
The WiFi was just a hotspot & not good but that’s not the real issue. I had a cockroach climbing on me in the middle of the night & I captured it. Showed it to the front desk & they knew immediately what it was. I checked out that day. Also, their free breakfast was lousy & had very, very few options. Won’t ever go back.
Disappointing stay. I got excited by the fact it had a pull out sofa after a long time on the road sharing a bed with kids I was ready for them to be somewhere else. But avoid this place. It was not super clean. Tv nor the phone worked. No elevator and we were on the second floor. Went down to complain about the tv but no resolution.
