Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very worn and tired. The shower had black mold in the grout and caulk. One sinks water was yellow. Doorknob and latches were so smeared looking we used Kleenex to operate. Do not recommend.

The staff here are wonderful, friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the complimentary toiletries are very nice. The place needs quite a bit of updating in general but specifically in the rooms and hallways. It’s was a bit damp everywhere and you could smell it until we turned on the very old AC and then it dried it out. Oh and the phone and alarm clock in our room were basically just props and didn’t work and the carpets need some deep cleaning. The location is excellent and right across from the Village and conveniently next to a Diner and gas station as well as right off of 95. So that’s really the selling point of this Motel. I’m not sure if I would repeat a stay here though.

This was one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. It was so dirty and dingy. So old and disgusting. The hallways look like they hadn’t been cleaned since they were put in. The hallway smells disgusting, but I think the room smelled worse. They told me they had cribs online, but when we got there, they didn’t have any. I brought two babies. The mattresses were so old, flat, and springy, that on the last night, we decided to just drive through the night to get home because we couldn’t stand the thought of sleeping on them again. Hoping someone reads this review and decides not to stay here. Go anywhere else. Also, check-in was at four. When we got there at four, they told us there were no clean rooms available. We had to wait hours, even though my two daughters were so tired and needed a place to sleep.

Doors to building or hallway were not secured allowing access to anyone walking by. (Signs posted that they would be locked between 11pm-6am) but still allows access to anyone before then. Moldy shower, wires coming out of walls, warped baseboards from shower leaking, you can feel the springs on the mattress. All around just dirty.

The property is filthy. The manager refused to meet with me to discuss any of the issues. The dumpsters aren't properly kept. They're not closed and theyre not fenced in. Bathrooms are dirty. The couch in room 140 is stained. Carpets are stained in multiple rooms. I could hear the mice in the walls.
