It's bare bones

Friendly clerk, gave me coffee. No coffee in lobby or rooms. No refrigerator in room, small microwave with little power. No hair dryer or shampoo. Holes in curtain and blanket. Very loud due to interstate and parking lot. No bedbugs, linens looked and smelled clean. Laminate flooring coming apart. Heating system worked very well. Not enough outlets, none close to bed so that you can charge as you use your phone. Room small. No table, just one chair.

No-tel 6

The bed was made but the cleanliness of walls, doors, bathroom fixtures left alot to be desired. There was only bar soap and a minimum of towels. We were only about 2 hrs from home so decided jus to wait til we got home. There was no hair dryer, coffee maker, mini fridge, or even a drawer in any of the furniture! I saw a small bug run across the floor in the bathroom The interstate was rather loud from our room. The absolute worst part was as we were leaving, looking around the room to make sure we got all of our belongings, my husband noticed something on the shelf above the towel holder. It turned out to be syringes, someone had stashed there. I notified the woman at the front desk. She was not happy about it, yet didn’t seem surprised by it. So no, we will not be returning to that location ever! I do NOT reccomend this motel to anyone.

Roaches/Noisy

Within 5 minutes of being in the room we found roaches in the beds and on the nightstand. Parking lot area had some "self employed" pharmacists that were loud and not anything against him but there was a young autistic man yelling in the parking lot outside the rooms. Apparently he lives around the hotel and comes by nightly to check on the front desk lady, which is very kind of him and we would never hold it against him for just being himself. Hotel listing said it had a pool and that it was open but immediately after I got the confirmation email they sent me another saying that their pool was closed due to covid restrictions. Kinda seemed like some slick false advertising. Lastly, before we found the roaches, I plugged in my cell phone cord and the wall socket sparked, sure that's a fire hazard. I would definitely NOT recommend anyone stay at this hotel, especially people with children, elderly, asthma or other breathing problems or any self respecting clean person for that matter.
