Our visit was very good, staff great. The thing I was disappointed in was the door to the office was always closed and locked when we would want a coffee. Coffee in the morning is important. Room w as nice and clean.

Needs a lot of love

This hotel really needs some love. When I arrived, there were people smoking right outside the check in. I would suggest a smoking section that is its own spot. The check-in was easy, I got my key and went to my room, which has been updated with nice flooring and newer bathroom. But, you can hear everything your neighbor is doing. There was a cockroach in my tub that then disappeared. The bath mat towel was filthy. The other towels were threadbare and small. The sheets on the bed were old and the comforter was pretty gross and so thin. Luckily, I had a blanket with me I could add to the bed. In the morning, the only coffee is in the check-in area, but the room was always locked and the two times I went for a coffee (at 9am) I had to ring the bell and wait for someone to open the door. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel.

Motel is newly renovated but has some issues. Also, per staff, the motel has a lot of construction workers staying there (presumably long term).

The smoke alarm had been removed, and was sitting in the closet without batteries. Yikes! It was scary waking up and noticing that we slept all night without a smoke alarm (especially with the amount of smokers around the hotel that we noticed). Price was good. Nice warm shower. AC worked, and cooled very well over time, though it was quite noisy. The room looked clean at first, but we noticed that the floors were dirty. Do motels like this wash sheets and pillowcases between different guests? I noticed lots of animal hair on the outer sheet, and human hair and some dirt on the white sheets as well.
