The room was disgustingly dirty. Took pictures and took a list over to front desk and said how bad the room was. We should have had a big discount on the room. But unfortunately staff doesnt care. You should be ashamed to be renting out these rooms.

Need credit card. Don’t pay online.

It didn’t state anywhere that we’d need a credit card upon check-in. We paid online and got to the motel and couldn’t even stay. It also didn’t state anywhere that you have to check in at the hotel beside here, the Ramada I think.

Horrible smell

The tobacco smell inside the room was unbearable. It was a celan room, but for a non-smoker it would be a torture.

It was very nice overall. Friendly staff, lovely breakfast, nice room layout. It however needs safety bars in the bathroom. I fell on the slippery wet floor (missed tge towel i put down as a mat). I was barely able to walk 2 weeks later and had some beautiful bruising. I literally could not get up because it was so slippery, the door opens inward and there just happened to be a fat old lady laying on the floor in the way of getting help. I really needed safety bars. The rooms are good value for a good price. I may have to pay more for the safety bar option from now on.
