I feel bad for the owners here. This property needs a MAJOR cash investment. Here is just a brief list of issues in my room durung my 2 night stay. Terrible mattress. Chair so stained it looks like it just came out of the dumpster. Worn, chipped furniture. Bedside outlet not working. Zero water pressure in shower. Water takes several minutes to get warm. Water never gets hot, ever. Room door is cracked. Light comes in all around the room door. Rusty exhaust fan grill. Shower rod completely rusted. Had to pay $229 per night in what looks to be an old Motel 6. Im sure that this is a very tough business to make money in, and I'm sure that if the owners had the money they would fix it up. But it was just horrible. Sorry but i will not ba staying there again.

This is a motel not a hotel so I didnt have high expectations. The front desk employees were very nice. The breakfast was container juice (not individual) and cereal. Didnt have “breakfast” on site. Went to Starbucks down the street.

We had to cancel the stay because the rooms were not in livable conditions. The AC unit was completely dismantled and on the ground. The plumbing was very slow draining as well.

Nahhh

There was very little hot water. I had it running for a couple minutes before showering and it started off mildly warm and the got hot for about 30 seconds and turned completely cold. The bed was hard as a rock and I could hear the neighbors tv.
