I had a reservation and when I went to check in the gentleman informed me that I did not have a room here. Pulled up my email confirmation and he shrugged his shoulders and refused to speak to me anymore. Apparently a big college game that weekend, so allowed a few reservations to fall away with no notification in order to capitalize on higher rates they could get from game attendees. I had to contact credit card company to make sure charges did not go through to this property. Needless to say, my impression of staff and the property is very low.

If you really, really need a room only! Lots of Asian beetles in the room. Towels and bedding are threadbare. Super noisy AC.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was pleasant and the room was clean. However, the tv remote only turned the tv on and did not change the channels. The heater produced a terrible odor for several minutes when we turned it on for the first time. The room lacked outlets in convenient places. The carpeting appeared to be very old and the paint job in the bathroom was very sloppy. The floor of the shower was marked by black spots as if something had been partially removed from the surface. The breakfast included only cereal, milk, juice, toast, packaged cookies and donuts, and coffee.

We didn’t get to stay there when we got there. They said there was no reservation. We had to spend $50 more and drive an extra hour at midnight just to get in motel. Expedia did a terrible job.

This is just a place to sleep. The lobby smells bad and the breakfast is Sunny D and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I'm not kidding. PB&J for breakfast. The ice machine doesn't work and there's no elevator. But it was quiet and the bed was good.

It’s nothing fancy, but the room was comfortable. The main issue I had was that two of the three main lights in the room did not work, but the owners resolved it by moving me to a different room, so that was good. There also were no stoppers for the drains in either the bathtub or the sink. Breakfast was simple, but good. I liked that they were flexible on the timing.
