You kind of get what you pay for here. It is reasonably priced ($137 for the night), but this is truly a bare minimum place to stay. The room was tiny, really tiny, and the beds were really worn out. There are no shampoo or conditioner in the room (bring it yourself, or you’re have to buy it from their vending machine, if it is working, which it wasn’t when we stayed), and only a partial roll of toilet paper. This place has homeless staying at it, and is not the best neighborhood. If you are a family with young kids, find another place to stay. They let pets stay here, but their us no breakfast. There is a McDonald’sxwithin walking distance. The non-smoking rooms, like ours, smell like smoke. My 16 year son and I stayed here one night for a baseball tournament, and it was ok. If you are staying longer, or looking for any kind of amenities, stay somewhere else.

It’s a motel 6. It gets the job done for the price you pay. My room had a leaky faucet (I never brought it up because I’m lazy) and a shower that was hot for only 3 minutes after you turned it on (again, I never brought it up because I’m lazy) My room smelled like BO so bad that I bought a car freshener to put in the air conditioner. It didn’t do anything. Overall, the stay was fine, I spent most of my time outside of the property. The bed was comfy and the sheets were clean.

Disgusting!!!

Absolutely the most disgusting hotel I have ever stepped foot in. If I could give zero stars I would. Room smells like dog pee, wood floor was breaking into pieces. Room was extremely filthy. The top of the mini fridge had not been wiped off, there was a 1/4 inch of dust on the wall lamps, floors were not cleaned food and mud were all over the floor. I asked to look at another room and the front desk clerk said he had to come smell the room first and walked in with a bottle of spray cleaner. When I started pointing out how dirty it was, he told me that there was no way to make me happy and that it is to be expected to have to deal with other people’s stuff when traveling. Immediately requested a refund and left.

Arrived and got checked in pretty quick. This property has a pool, even though I wasn't able to take advantage of it. Room was clean. Odd configured shower, but not a deal breaker. Even though I had a ground level room, I wasn't able to park in front of it. Not a total deal breaker but very disappointing. There were what looked like handicapped parking spaces but there was no "wheelchair" painted in the blue box. Made sure I moved as soon as I got unloaded. The chairs provided were looking a little flimsy so this 6'5", 300# guy stayed out of them. I didn't want to end up on the floor. Nothing missing or broken. Everything worked.

The motel offers a place to rest, but it could be improved. While the location is convenient, the interior feels dated and worn. Comfort is somewhat lacking, making it an average experience overall. The aging decor impacts the atmosphere, unfortunately. Hopefully, future renovations will enhance the guest experience.Ok for travelers

It's a pretty basic motel with an old interior. It's fine for a quick stopover, so don't get your hopes up. Some rooms don't even have a microwave or TV, so double-check when you book.

Okay experience for the price we paid for our room (about $60 which is one of the least expensive places we could find in the area), but would not recommend if you are able to get something nicer for a little bit more money. Not very clean in general, lots of stains on bedding and towels, TV didn't work properly, and there were no microwaves in the "delux" rooms.
