We were not able to check in to the hotel because of the bad management and rude front desk person. The man at the front desk was the rudest person I have ever encountered in the my past forty years of staying in hotels. The hotel cancelled breakfast and did not offer any compensation for this. The facilities were not those pictured and describe on the Expedia page. It was in much worse shape and the amenities were much more limited than described. The hotel's page amounts to fail advertising which is far below the Expedia standard. The man working the front desk cussed me out multiple times when I complained about the situation. Finally, he did cancel my two reservations. I hope Expedia will refund my money. The man working the front desk should be fired immediately and this hotel should be removed from Expedia.

It was a good place to split up my 14 hour drive. Unfortunately, there was some drunk or stoned dude in the parking lot causing an argument with one of the other patrons, so it was difficult to stay asleep. It’s not a fault of the motel, just one of the negatives of staying in a motel. Hopefully your stay doesn’t have an idiot roaming around the parking lot mumbling at the top of their voice.

Check Room First
Check your assigned room first. The following did not work in the room I was assigned: the light switch by the entrance door did not turn on any light; the towel rack by the sink was broken off and laying on the safe (see pictures); the clock radio by the bed was not plugged in; the toilet leaked water from the tank; the bathtub faucet dripped water; and the bathtub drain was not clean. I strongly suggest you check the condition of room you are being offered before you check in, so maybe you will eventually get one that is properly set up for customers.
