All around great spot especially if you have a pet along for the ride they stay absolutely free no questions... It's definitely not a five star motel but it's really nice for the price way above all other local hotels at this rate by far highly recommend to everyone...

Possibly the worst motel I’ve ever stayed in. While apparently clean overall, the bathroom door had stab marks at breast height and what appeared to be a bloody fingerprint, and the bottom had been kicked in. The HVAC was very beat up and sounded like an airplane engine after it started. We paid for four people and when I asked in the morning for two more towels (only two had been supplied), the manager said aggressively that it was policy only to give out two and we could complain to the booking agent. Hence this review. Avoid!

DON'T stay here. This was by far the worst hotel I've ever seen. I booked room at 2:14 online I pulled into parking lot at exactly 5:33 pm dashcam and Google maps verified. I spent approximately 15 minutes checking in and another 15 minutes approximately bringing in all of our valuables and walking the dog this puts the current time at approximately 6:03pm. As soon as I walked in the room it reaked of cigarettes and the dresser drawer under the TV was full of cigarette ashes. I immediately went to the front desk and told them so I would not be charged for smoking in the room since I had signed a paper stating if I smoked I would be fined. I go back to the room and my wife is pissed. She said this is the most disgusting room she has ever been in. There were dirty sweat stains all over the sheets, literally dirty shoe prints on the sheets,some kind of pink liquid on the sheets as well as the floor, live electric wires with no cover over them missing light bulbs in lamps that any child could touch the socket on,one almost empty roll of toilet paper with no extra roll,poop smears on the wall along with other disgusting who knows what on the walls throughout the room, literally about 1/8 of an inch of dust on top of the TV and headboard I could sit here all day typing out everything wrong. Long story short they wouldn't even give a set of sheets to change out the other disgusting ones. Theyflat lied saying I checked in at 2:14. They refused to refund my money but we left anyway.

Super easy check in. Rep at the desk was really nice. However, housekeeping leaves around 2. I had to change my own sheets when I asked for new ones because she was gone for the day. The sheets were dirty, stained and have burns all throughout. The TV did not work, the signal was super bad. Kept glitching. The wifi would not connect to the TV so the apps wouldn’t work. The curtain for the window is not doubled and it was dirty and the door has no weather strip so you can literally hear ppl whispering outside the room. Overall, Id rate it a 3 bcuz the beds were ok.

The room key wouldnt unlock the door. It took 2 trips to the office before the cperk came with her master key card thing to get the door to unlock. We had no issues after that wirh the door, but were worried every time we left the room (we traveled with a dog so there were a lot of trips outside) that we wouldnt be able to get back in. The bathroom light wouldnt come on after multiple tries. The clerk came back to room and tried several times, saying that sometimes they haveto flip it repeatedly for it to come on. My husband is an electrician and said that means its a bad connection. The clerk got her aint/owner to come to roo.. They finally got light on ( fan automatically comes on with it) then said not to turn it off. Tv didnt work. At that point, we were tired and didnt bother going back to the clerk as it was late in the evening and we had to be up for a 4am flight. Heat also didn't work properly. Temp actually DROPPED in the room when we turned the heat on. We slept fully clothed in hoodies and jeans to stay warm.

The hotel was not the cleanest. There were burn holes in the sheets and covers. Black spots on the pillow cases. Seen a few bugs in our room. The tv stopped working our second night. They wouldn’t allow us to get extra towels. Pretty sure one of them stole my deodorant the first day they cleaned it and I had to go buy more. Their leaf blower guy came out at 9am yesterday making extra noise by the doors and around the doors.

If you’re leaving by 6:30 am, great place to stay…after that it’s so noisy it’s like trying to sleep on a bench at Grand Central. We went outside 4 times between 6-10:30 to remind people check out is at 11. To make matters worse it gets all the nearby fogs barking. Road traffic is loud too. Staff was very friendly, room clean

I ran out, I immediately found another hotel to stay for the nigh. I am never ever staying at these cheap hotels to save 20 or 30 bucks, just the breakfast option, a good breafast option alone is worth the difference. Not worth it at all.
