Do not recommend

The GM was great... Very accommodating and tried to do her best. She moved us from the really bad room to one that was a little better. No A/C, no TV, no breakfast as advertised due to lack of staff. GM said she would refund me so I am hoping she will honor that promise. I would not recommend this property until the owner puts some money into it... He should be ashamed

Bad service

We drove to this location and felt unsafe for our family. We decided to try and check it out and see, already hesitant about staying. I went inside to check in, rang the bell twice and stood there for 5+ minutes with no service. Went to call and the line beeped. We did not stay and went to a different hotel.

The staff were nice. But the first room they gave me the window didn't close. I asked for a different room, and its window didn't close either. The third room had a window that closed but the latch was a bit flimsy. I still didn’t feel totally safe when the door chain was dangling on one screw. The parking lot was totally torn up and the trash bin outside the room was overflowing with beer cans. There was no ice. I think maybe they're remodeling? I would check on that before booking. I felt a little ripped off with the price I paid given the condition of the place.

Front desk gentleman was very friendly and helpful. The facility was in very rough condition--from the parking lot to our room. It was a clean room but I can't say I would stay again.

It was much better than I expected for a 2-star level motel. More amenities than most accommodations in that price range. Good choice of breakfast items. My room looked quite updated.
