One Night Stay - But never again.

Never Again Nov 18, 2009

For my trip, this hotel was very conveniently located at a reasonable price. However, upon entering the hotel, the fragrance ... of perfumed cleaning solutions were very apparent. In spite of the "aroma", the smell of urine and smoke could be detected. The sink in my room was functional but was cracked/broken from severe abuse. While the room appeared clean, something about the aura of the place made the thought of taking a shower in this room unappealing.

This was just a break on a long car trip. Close to many good restaurants and very easy to find. Older interior but clean. ... Air conditioner was noisy but worked well. All that we needed for a quick, one night stay.

In all we had a very nice stay. When you walked in the motel had a pleasent smell to it. The gentleman at the desk was very ... nice. The only problem we had was the room that our friends stayed in. The AC would't work. They where moved to another room and that was fine. Would stay there again

yuck

lm May 10, 2009

Thought this hotel had a pool and jacuzzi. The room was a dump. The shower didn't drain and the shower curtain was falling ... off the wall. The bed was like a rock and I was afraid of catching something from sleeping in it. I have stayed in places cheaper that were much cleaner and better than this place. If you are looking for a bargain this is not it. It is a place to sleep uncomfortalbly and that is about it. Go somewhere else.
