Do not stay here - they will give any one access to your room and your things will be gone and then not refund your deposit back . I am filling a negligence lawsuit against this hotel and the owner/operator and the employee conducting shady inappropriate business .

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was absolutely disgusting and completely unorganized. The first room they gave me had two cockroaches crawling around before I could even set my bags down. That alone was enough to make me question the cleanliness of the place. I immediately went to the front desk to report it, and they reassigned me to another room—only for me to walk in and find someone already in there! I felt terrible for invading that person’s privacy, but that’s on the hotel for being so careless and unprofessional. The lack of organization and cleanliness here is shocking, and I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Overall place was nice & affordable. Breakfast cleaning staff was rude telling us why we did we use butter for waffle machine instead of of cooking spray & why we didnt pull out our waffle out if it was ready. 1. machine didnt beep 2. What is it to her if i like butter in my waffle. What a way the start the morning. If she didnt feel like working she should of stayed home no wonder why we were the only people at breakfast, she ran all of them off.

The deck clerk checked me in, but was in no way friendly, helpful or proactive; she didh't write my room number down, I later had to ask for the wifi password and no mention of any hotel amenities, breakfast serving time, etc. I guess you get what you pay for.... L~

Christmas Sleepover

This is an older motel. We were in town for christmas and were not planning on staying. However, it got really late and we found the hotel closest as it was pouring rain. The staff was so so friendly, the hotel smelled and looked very clean. It is older and a little outdated but the price was really good to lay our heads down. The place was clean the bed was comfy. Dont expect fancy, but u do receive great service and clean place.
