This place is motel 6 basic but at a higher price. Staff was EXTREMELY friendly but I don’t get why this hotel has such good reviews. The mattresses suck, rooms are tiny and cheaply furnished and tons of road and construction noise.

We booked for two nights. Once we arrived we were then notified of construction happening directly next to our room from 6am-5pm. The cell service on the property is pretty bad. and there were lots of gnats or mosquitoes in our room. Not sure where they came from. I am aware this is a budget friendly option, but just pay the extra cost for a nicer stay.

There is a big construction a few feet from the motel with 6 am to 5 pm noise My problem is the staff do not tell the guests about the noise nor the block the rooms nearest to the noise which is behind the building They doing business as usual without regard to the noise and sleeping comfort of the guests at 7 am They should either let the guests know about the noise and discount the rooms heavily Or block rooms nearer to the construction site It is a shame they don’t care

Typical motel

Had to call to get someone to show up in the lobby for check-in, long delay before they showed up. Toilet in room was clogged, took a long time to get staff to fix it. No towels available at pool, but staff did bring one to school for me.

Nice, clean, very nice management; parking is a bit of an issue if you come back to your room late. There are not enough parking spaces for all the guests if the motel is full.

I got a great deal and the room was very clean, only complaints would be that the AC unit is a bit loud and my room was at the front of the hotel and heard a bit of the road noise at night.

The place was clean which is most important to me but the property is very dated. It was worth it for the price I paid but it is very basic and all I really needed was a place to sleep on my way back home.
