Would not recommend. Room was not nice. Whole vibe of the place was sketchy. I almost left because I wasn't sure my door was locking properly. Cheap but not worth it.

I have stayed here before because of its proximity to my family. Sadly it has become run down. Our room was fairly comfortable, but the bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way and there wasn’t a handle on the inside. I didn’t take pictures.

Not sanitize. The sheet wasn't clean. The room wasn't clean. The bathroom wasn't clean, nothing wasn't clean. And on top of that when you asked to change your room, they refuse there was no access to anything like wife or TV not even a microwave I never been disappointed in my life Expedia you have felt.

Non smoking room reeked of cigarettes, the bathroom was missing the door handle, and the door did not shut anyway, the sink spits water horizontally out, you get soaked trying to use it. The place was overall dirt and looks like there has been no maintenance for years.Looks nothing like the pictures on your site.

Booked room 202 on 6/14/25 when we checked in room was dirty, trash left from previous guest and had a very odd stench and after trying to circulate and air out the room for a hour and a half it didn’t go away when so we checked out. They didn’t give us a refund but they do have a policy about charging 20 dollars an hour for every hour you check in early or late but refused to give us our refund because we had the room for a hour and a half even tho we could’ve went off they’re policy and took the 30 dollar hit. The pictures that are advertised are not at all the same as the condition or the building it’s very worn down paint stripping off walls, cracks in the walls and the parking lot turns into a literal lake when it rains. They should advertise this as a motel 6 so that people are miss guided when booking a room here.

The front desk person was very polite and super nice but the smell was uncomfortable, as soon as we walked into the building it smelled like Marijuana and then our room did as well. I know nothing can be done about guests smoking but it was still unpleasant specially since we were going to a family event and had that odor on us.

Decently priced, convenient location. Their lobby/sitting area had a sign asking us not to sit on their furniture. A place to sleep but didn’t feel terribly welcomed.

The property used to be a nice local place to stay to be near my parents, but it has completely declined. Unless you're looking for a no-tell motel, stay elsewhere.

Property was convienent for our plans we had this past weekend. The young man that works at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Room wasn't as clean as we would have liked. We got parking right in front both nights we stayed over and felt better about this since we had a nice car rental.
