The staff I s the worst I've ever met! Rude. Didn't clean my room. Left me no toilet, soap or fresh towels. They locked me out of my room. So when I returned that evening after dark I couldn't get in! I had to go get my key recoded. Then I was told I guess you'll just have to mske uour own bed! When I asked for soap I was told they normally charge for 'extra' but I'll give you a bar. A little motel bar for all the 4 of my family to share! Just had to 'deal' with whatever toilet paper we had! (Thankfully I had a roll in my car.) Our entire stay someone would bang on people's doors in the middle of the night. I reported it but all I was yold was "it happens all the time". I will NEVER stay or recommend anyone to stay here again! I am a very tolerable person but there were too many things that happened and the rudeness of the staff was unacceptable.

staff is extremely rude. no room service on my last night and was told, I guess you'll have to make your own bed. When I told them I had no soap I was told that they usually charge $1.00 per amenity. I didn't even have toilet paper and they could have cared less. never stay there again! Rude! Rude! Rude!

There wasn’t any thing necessarily dirty, but the condition of everything was subpar. They use LED light strips that are peeling from behind the beds. The TV had to scratch through the screen The Paul in the shower had black mold on it. All the printer was shipped and scratched.

Typical motel, except this is my first time staying at a place with no shampoo. When my husband went to the front desk to ask, he was asked to pay $1 cash for a trial-size shampoo! WOW.
