Room was stained everywhere. Walls, ceiling, floor were dirty and damaged. We stayed in the room long enough to find another place to stay. Checked in at 3 pm and returned card at 4 pm then left. It looked like a homeless shelter.

Poorly maintained property. No wifi. Smelly room. Not sure why it has the higher ratings I saw. This rating takes into account comparable motel properties with bare minimum expectations.

Every aspect of the facility needs a thourough cleaning and new furniture. There was no continental breakfast as advertised and no coffee maker/condiments in the room. Room was not refreshed/cleaned for our two night stay. The room key was not set for our two night stay which required attention

If a crackhouse with running water was a one star, I would give this place two stars. I have stayed at some very nice five-star hotels, so migrating scale is somewhat harsh. Our bathroom door had no door knob. But, I wasn’t worried about getting locked in because the door wouldn’t shut all the way anyway. I brought it to the attention of the front desk, and they did have a door knob Installed by the next day. The room was definitely in need of a fresh paint job. The beds were adequate. Could not get the floor unit of air conditioning/heating to work property. I would definitely not stay at this place ever again.

I was expecting a room that looked like the one shown in the picture, but when I arrived, the room appeared to have not been updated. The bathroom looked horrible, and for paying $189 a night, it was not acceptable, and i didn't even get the option for the inside room they have available. Plus, a bar of soap was open

Paint peeling off ceiling and walls. Only 2 lights worked one being bathroom. Bathroom door frame looked like it has been kicked open several times and can see the splits in wood and all nails used to mend together.
