We were put into a smoking room even though our reservation specifically said non smoking. The room was gross, the ceiling was moldy, the bathroom didn’t have a vent fan, the bedding had cigarette burns, the sheets had pubic hair. Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Super disappointed I spent $80 for a night in this hell hole.

Breakfast was only bread type food. The toilet didn't work properly

Dirty. Lacks cleanliness, bad smell. Run down, would not stay there again.

NO towels! in my room. No TV program schedule. No rotisserie plate in the microwave. No ironing board or iron. No hair dryer. No in-room coffee service. Breakfast selection very limited. Bathroom falling apart. However, seemed to be clean.

We were just there for a place to sleep for 1 night. The room was a little smaller then expected, but nice and clean. The Wi-Fi worked great and the free breakfast with waffles was a nice start to the day.

The room had a bad oder.. the trash wasn't dumped the light in room 208 by the window wasn't even there...

Typical lower cost hotel (might not have been the lowest, but it was closer to where I needed to be). Older facility. It was reasonably clean. Did not observe any insects in the room. Bed was comfortable enough. I believe the room included a refrigerator and microwave, and wi-fi as well. Hotel desk staff seemed genuinely interested in providing good service and keeping customers satisfied. Overall OK for someone who knows what to expect at lower cost hotels.

This is an older hotel but it's in a pretty convenient and safe location. Hotel staff is very friendly and eager to help customers. Room itself was smallish but clean. There was some paint flaking from walls, older furnishings, etc. Probably worst thing was toilet was not bolted to the floor (you could move it around with your hands) and the toilet seat was just sitting on top of the bowl - no bolts holding it down. Room came with free wi-fi and microwave and fridge, which was nice. No bugs in room. Regular old style glass TV (flat screens are cheap these days, hotel people!) I would say it is good to stay at, would be better at around $10/day less than they are asking though. It's for sure in the Motel 6 range so daily rate should be closer to $40-45 rather than in the $50s..

The two people that I met from the staff were alright, the bed was a little hard, the room was clean. The hotel was about a mile from the interstate. It was a little deserted, but nice and quiet. The hallway smelled a little bit musty. The air conditioner worked well. I had a non smoking room - and I could not smell any smoke!

I arrived at this hotel about 3:00am in the morning with my bags in one hand and my purse in the other. When I got to the window, the clerk was not friendly and I was not in a real good mood because all the parking spots on the lot were full! So his greeting towards me would have been really appreciated but he never broke a smile. When I showed him my receipt from [...]he looked real strange like (really)? I was forced to sign some type of contract stating if [...]refuses to pay them for my stay, then I am responsible to paid the balance. In the meantime, I was not happy .

Very friendly motel clerk, helpful with check in and made sure we had what we needed. However, housekeeping said I could not have coffee after 9 am

We didn't have any trouble getting a room. But the beds were made with sheets that didn't fit. It was a clean and quiet room so for the most part it was good. Oh the tub didn't drain fast enough for the flow of water so by the time you were done showering you had water up to your calves.
