It didn't bode well when staff would only interact with me through a teller window and lobby was kept locked (at ~4p). The room was sad: filthy (dirt caked, burn marks) arm chair, signs of (hopefully past) bedbugs on the mattresses, severely water damaged TV stand, and the Toiletries appeared used. The dead bolt was broken off. All the motel notices urge you strongly to keep the deadbolt latched and to leave no valuables in the car. Even on the side furthest from the interstate it's very loud. Ended up eating the cost and staying elsewhere.

Horrible

Had to pay extra for my husband when we rented a double room that sleeps 4 people but our reservation was only for one person when I booked with hotel.com. The room was not clean walls looked like they had stuff smeared on them. The bathroom had black mold growing in it. The bathroom door had duck tape holding it together and couldn’t even shut the door all the way. None of the electrical outlets worked properly the one by the tv had a short in it and wouldn’t stay connected. This is definitely a pay by the hour hotel would not recommend staying here again

Don't do it!

The room seemed clean enough, what we could see. The lighting was so very dim; it was still dark in there with the lamps on. The lock on the door was broken where someone from the outside had tried to break in on someone. It left us feeling unsafe. We had an issue with our billing, but we had screenshots, so the attendant didn't make us pay again. There was no warm breakfast items. Toast, cereal, and some packaged mini muffins. The milk was in a carafe; we didn't know how old it was. One washcloth for the two of us. Don't go to this motel.

This was a very poorly maintained property. For a handicapped room, which was not what I needed, just the only king bed room they had. They did a fair job of cleaning. The bath tub drained slow, & hair came up out of it when we turned the water on. We should have left when we checked in, but we had been on the road all day.
