The room I was checked into was still dirty! There was food wrappers still on the side table, all there surfaces were dirty and sticky! The carpet was gross and sticky. The hallways were filthy like they haven’t been vacuumed in a long time. The vending machines were empty.

Nice little motel next to a nice restaurant. For the price point it was sufficient and quiet. The staff was friendly. Will stay there again if we are in Carroll. One note - the sign advertises "hot breakfast" with pictures of eggs and sausages. You need to tell the front desk that you want the hot breakfast ahead of time, or only a continental one will be available. The staff told me not enough people eat the hot food and it goes to waste at great expense, so they are now serving it upon request.

This property has seen better days. That being said, the people at the front desk were nice. The room looked nice, but had a strong odor like old urine mixed with must/mold. They had a plug-in air freshener in the room that didn’t help. Kind of just made the odor worse. The sheets and towels were clean. Mattress good. Nice sized TV. For breakfast there was a waffle machine, four mini cinnamon buns,bread,cereal,and jugs of milk and coffee set out. Also four sausages and some powdered eggs in the steam table when the breakfast room opened. Pretty much what I expected for the price, except that odor in the room and throughout the hotel were a game-changer for me to come back again. Not sure if the smell is fixable, but if it isn’t,much business will be lost.

This is a great place to stay. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The breakfast was pretty good as well. The only suggestion I would make, is to upgrade the table lamps so that you have easier access to plug your wireless devices into. An awesome place and you can’t beat the price.
