I request expedia to remove this motel from their listing, expedia have a very good reputation but listing motels like these will make your reputation worse, I've been traveling and booking hotel rooms via expedia from years now, never had such a worst experience.

First clue-hotel receptionist sits behind security glass. Stains on the walls, poorly patched holes in the walls and doors. Sheets were stained, paper thin blanket. We slept in our clothes on top of the bed. Look elsewhere.

Bedding was gross. Room was so so. Don’t know when it was remodeled but they removed the carpet and installed laminate flooring. Left more than a one inch gap under the room door. Heard every conversation and screams in the hall. Can’t expect much for $60.

The bed was hard to sleep on. TV signal did not work for reception. The shower curtain needs more length to it to cover from wall to wall at the bottom. The two main hallways were carpeted with carpet squares. Some of the carpet squares need to be replaced. Also, the change in elevation in the main hallway was not marked on the side walls or on the carpet.

We were on the 2nd floor and there was not an elevator. And no accommodations were available to assist .As a senior citizen, it would have been good to know this ahead of time. This picture is very deceiving.. The beds seemed to be super singles instead of at least full size beds. There was no continental breakfast. There was coffee available from 6-9 am but the area was not inviting..The staff was friendly enough.

Young lady at the desk at check out and in the morning was very friendly. Nice to talk to. Facility close to I-55. Well lit. Looks like freshly painted. Bright, not dreary like so many other facilities. Only issue was that the bathroom light came on EVERY TIME I walked into the room. Made for a horrible nights sleep as I never turn on bathroom lights during night bathroom trips as that has the effect of totally waking me up so I can't fall back to sleep afterwards.

Never again! No comfortable chair in room, only one straight backed kitchen chair. No coffee in room, available only 6--9 am. Paint was peeling from the base of the shower, showing the under base, no way to be sure it was clean. Turn the light off...we are done!! Worst stop on a four-day trip!
