Looks great from the front, but the back is littered with trash! We have not had hot water for 3 of 5 days. The tv channel selection is horrible so stream on your phone or tablet. Sorry, you can’t because the Wi-Fi is horrible! At least the rooms are nice, but your neighbors that live there might keep you up all night as all room doors slam shut, loudly. But, they don’t charge a deposit and the pool is clean and nice until the residents get in. Oh, your room key might not always work, staff speaks Spanish and no ayuda. Also, tthe front desk never answers the phone, and the breakfast consists of coffee so weak it looks like herbal tea; the breakfast meat is steamed so it’s grey; hours are at the motel’s discretion; the “cook” can’t cook; and they run out of syrup, etc consistently. How did this place become a Choice hotel?! I can run it better and with no experience!

The parking lot had litter. The pool area was nice and the room was good. The breakfast area was not staffed for over 45 minutes. They were out of spray to operate the waffle machine for 3 days. There was only peanut butter as a spread.

Before even parking there were three guys sitting outside the front doors drinking a six pack of beers. When checking in the attitude of the lady at the front desk was unprofessional, seems like she hated her job honestly. we got a room towards the back of the building. it smelled weird the further we went back. Getting into our room, the main bed area was fine, the door that is shared between the other room on the other side was completely torn up on the bottom. The bathroom was dirty. The sink didn't work, the piping for the sink was completely broken, we were in the hotel room for about 2 hours if even that and then left and checked out. Payed for two night only to stay two hours. Never returning.

NEVER AGAIN!!!

Terrible experience! Dated, wornout rooms , no usb ports or tv or phone lists. They put me next to pool which supposedly closes at 11pm. But 12:30 am loud group jumped in the pool...with no way to contact desk, had to put on clothes to go to front desk. Happened again at 2:30...another trip to front desk. If i really truly hated someone, i would recommend they stay there!

Minimal needs met for a budget

It was one of lower price options for a one night stay. The area was a little shady, next to a vacant business property. Saw a couple of people janging out outside of the front entrance for afternoon and evening. Nothing wrong, but it made me uncomfortable going in and out of the entrance. The room was cleaned, but i could not help feeling the stickiness of the floor and the wall. The facility is probably quite old, i had difficulty finding power sockets to chargr phones. The power strip only had two outlets working and onecwas used forcthe desl lamp. There were only two sets of towels for a family of three, but this was alright for eco-friendliness. The bed was comfortable. But throughout the night, we kept hearing someone talking loud in the hallway and later, wailing of a woman (which lasted for quite a while). For the breakfast, i expected a barwly minimum, but i was pleasantly surprised with the hot food... omlet and gravy and bisquit. I liked thw omlet with gravy. Coffee was hot and not bad. Overall, this was ok for a one night stay fir a price.

State of property does not do justice to the rating showing on Expedia. It should be rated less than 2, not an average of 6. It is a rundown property that smells, is dirty. Corridors smell of weed being smoked. We had to change 3 rooms after checking in just to ensure we had running water and a toilet that flushes properly. And still not one charging port in the wall worked. Had to charge our devices in car for 2 days. People hanging around outside property looked to be high.

The TV in my room didn't work. I stayed for 3 nights and no one ever contacted me to help and those that were around said that there was nothing that thsy could do. I tried to get compensated and the best they did was offer me a discounted stay. I don't live in that town. So, what I paid for, I did not get. Very dissatisfied.

I didn’t get to sat, they tried to run my card early and I needed to be in ground to approve the charge on my phone. They said it didn’t go through and said I didn’t answer my phone so they cancelled it. I never received a call and also didn’t get a text to approve it… I think they saw my price and canceled my reservation because the room was $60 more a night

It's convenient right off the highway, staff was nice and friendly, room was clean and tidy and comfy and the mini fridge worked fine but there was no microwave in the room and every vending machine was out of order but they do provide a decent free breakfast with options like cereal/bagels/ diy waffle station (some folks seemed to have issue using but eh), oranges and toast. Also had a drink dispenser with oj/apple/cranberry juice and water or coffee. Would probably stay here again as it was affordable and they did have a seasonal outdoor pool.

The check in process took awhile. The keys had to be re-programmed everyday. One evening after a long day I had to get keys remade but there wasn't anyone at the front desk. We called out "hello" but there was no response. 2 people came to check in and another needing reprogrammed keys. We were just about to call the police when a woman came down the hall & went behind the front desk. It was something I've never encountered

The lady that checked us in was nice to the other people in front of us and had a attitude with us for some reason, not quite sure what that reason was. The other employees were nice. We were put in the room by the exit so it kept sounding like someone was trying to come in our room when people open and closed the door.
