Great price, comfortable room

It is on a busy intersection with lots of traffic, so there is much noise from the street. When I checked in and got to my room, I wanted to get ice for a drink, and the ice bucket appeared to have been used as a trash can previously and hadn’t been cleaned; when I brought it to the staff’s attention, they replaced it, but unlike other hotels, they do not use a plastic liner (bag), so the ice goes directly into the bucket which is a bit disconcerting. When I went to get ice which was from a new ice machine, the room’s floor was dirty with some sort of debris/dirt/substance which was a bit disconcerting as well. The staff has been very friendly and accommodating, and the bed seems very comfortable although I haven’t slept in the room yet. One more item that has been common in other hotels and motels that is lacking is hand soap (bar or liquid); I needed to wash my hands twice, and had to use the body wash from the shower. The towels (2) were another interesting element; they were both too small al which required me to use both to dry off after a shower, and one was pretty thin from what appeared was heavy use. The room is quaint and doesn’t have a lot of empty, wasted space; tight would be a good description. Finally, the TV was the final item I will address because with a season of playoffs (NBA/NHL), I was hopeful to watch some games, but the TV (DirecTV) didn’t have a guide of channels so I had to do a ‘Smart Search’ to find programs, but nothing was available.

Took about 10 min to get someone up to the front to check us in. Sheets were stained- had to brush them off to make sure they weren't bugs. Carpet was not vacuumed. There wasn't any soap- not even in the hand soap dispenser. Trash can nor bag was provided. A full size refrigerator was not the cleanest. The shower needed attention- cleanliness, & maintenance-the shower valve was so loose couldn't adjust the temperature with ease. When I got out of the shower and walked into the bedroom, I sat on the bed to put lotion on my feet, and the bottom of my feet were black again! The television didn't work.

I will not stay there again. The place is old and needs a major renovation, not just the bare minimum of "lipstick" updates. The bed and pillows were uncomfortable.

I booked a single room for my dad. We got to the room, the light didn't work, there was no remote for the TV, and it wasn't clean. The bathroom door was hard to close and then I couldn't open it with without help unless they wanted me to possibly break the door. We asked for a new room as I didn't want to keep getting stuck in the bathroom. Front desk was annoyed and put out. And wanted to upcharge us for a new room. The next room was better, but I wouldn't book here again.

Second time I stayed at this hotel, it’s more like an INN. The staff is family owned and they keep their rooms nice. They offer refrigerator, microwave, large beds, cable TV, coffee maker and easy parking. It’s nice for a short stay.

Room 130 The motel was empty of guests with five cars in the parking lot. ISSUES: 1. Shower had no running water upon entry or two hours later. 2. Sink water dribbled at best. I used bottled water for both teeth and wash. Note: Both hot and cold water were functioning the next morning. 3. A puddle of water on bath floor from a leaking toilet or pipe. I did not investigate origin. 4. The room's heat off upon entry. 5. It took two hours to warm-up due to a cold concrete floor, walls, and furnishings. 6. It took another hour to adjust temperature. 7. Bed side lights did not work. No power 8. Bedside 110v outlets did not work. No power. 9. Bedside USB outlets did not work. No power. 10. Refrigerator not functional. The freezer compartment was barely cool.....(not cold, maybe 40 degrees) It was completely warm by morning. Checking the plug, I noticed it was partially unpluged. 11.The next morning's breakfast consisted of couple of small Muffins and yogurt in a brown paper bag at check-in. The excuse was an electrical issue. This room should never have been occupied in its current condition and the items could have been checked prior to check-in in less than 3 minutes. The establishment's expected response will a similar pre-packaged response to negative reviews to contact the management. When I checked in the motel lobby was lock and it took 30 minutes to be acknowledged. I believe the check-in manager was the owner.

The room reaked of some fragrance that made breathing difficult and nearly intollerable. One of the power outlets didn't work (I need a CPAP). There was no hot water for a shower and there was no attendent at the front desk (actually the lobby was locked and no attendents available when we first arrived).
