Clean and Quiet
Clean and Quiet. But lacking soap and enough towels. More like a star and 1/2 or 2 not a 3 star.

Lied about price & Internet very slow
This was a terrible stay. Checked in AFTER paying with Orbitz. Showed them the reservation #, price of $45 and he nodded, thinking all was well, I signed the bill. THEN to my AMAZEMENT he charged me for EXTRA PERSON, and with taxes the bill was $58. I showed him again the reservation and he argued that was for one person not 2. WRONG! It says 2 in email confirmation. Internet cut out 3 different times and it took a long time for them to reset. Room was smoky as he would not give me a ground floor at first for my 93 y.o. Veteran Father who CANNOT CLIMB STAIRS. No wake up call, TERRIBLE TIME. Going to dispute this with my CC Company.

Never again!!
Motel experience was bad before it even started. Within 2 weeks of making my reservation [...], I got a charge on the credit card that I used for $8.00 from the Sands Motel in Florida. Don't know how that got on my card, but American Express took care of it. Then upon arrival to the motel, my $45 room somehow turned into a total cost of $58.45. This amounted to a 30% tax. The desk clerk refused to give me an itemized receipt. And then a bit of excitement(?)--when the cops came & had 2 men from one of the rooms on the ground & in cuffs. Other than all that--the room was quiet & the sheets were clean. But I'd never stay there again.

Good motel
It is a good motel, i.e. the room was big, there was a fridge and a microwave in the room, the bed was made up and the room cleaned daily, there was no noise or rowdy behavior outside so I had no problem sleeping, TV and WiFi were free and fully operational. As an added benefit they wave quite a nice cafe there, very decent food and pricing. I would rate that cafe with at least 3 stars.

Don't do it!
Could not believe how dirty this hotel was! The carpet turned my bare feet brown in about 3 minutes! The chairs at the table were very stained. The bath tub and shower were not clean. When I checked in I asked for a 1st floor room because my husband has a bad knee and the stairs were very steep. I was told I would have to pay an "upgrade" fee for that! We had a non-smoking room but could smell the smoke from right next door :-(. Never again!!
