Does not have coffee machines in each room.. instead has coffee machine and lobby "available 24/7". Was not available when I stayed September 29th-October 2nd. Sign on lobby door says "opens 7:00 a.m." . On the morning of September 30th did not open till 7:35. Two trips down for coffee--nobody there. Then again on October 2nd nobody there at 7:19 a.m.. extremely poor customer service from front desk staff.

I had no expectations about this motel as I know I booked on the lower end but this was worse that I had imagined. The minute we opened the room door we were overwhelmed by the smell of mildew/mold. When I mentioned it to the front desk their solution was to send the cleaning staff up with a can of air freshener. That is not a solution just a cover up. The bedspreads we stained, the carpets dirty. The wifi does not work on the 3rd floor and the beds in our room desperately need to be replaced.

My sister had a roach in her room…. The blankets were old & washed very outdated… my family & I purchased new comforter & pillows from Walmart… the carpet was outdated & very grimy… the bottom of my socks were very dirty, I had to wear booties over my socks during my entire stay… the staff were polite & they addressed the issue of jumping & thumping noises over my head expeditiously. Definitely too pricey for the condition of the rooms.

Horrible. Don’t stay here!!

The staff was very rude. The room smelled like mold. They were not willing to do anything except switch rooms. The WiFi doesn’t work, tv is tiny, the beds are small barely bigger than a twin. Only staff that was helpful were the maids.

Nice stay with an okay room

There hotel was okay. They do have free coffee all day which is great, the location is nice, but the room had a bad smell to it. We were only there two nights, if we were there longer I would have requested another room. I’m sure the would have obliged because they were nice in the office.
