I had locked my door to leave. When I came back my door was unlocked and some of my property was moved around in the room. They claimed it was their room service maids but the bed was still not made and all the pillows/sheets/blankets were exactly how I left them. They also put me in a room with a smaller bed and less accommodations than I had payed for and offered no refund for the original price. I ended up paying the price for a king size bed room when instead they had moved my pregnant wife, my dog, and I into a twin size bedroom. They also offered no proper body wash or shampoo for the showers. The shower drain was plugged and the tub kept holding water even without the drain plug in. The towels we received were also dirty and one of them had old human feces on them from someone wiping their ass with. The bathroom fan did not work either. The kitchenette that they had there was extremely dirty with old nasty dishes and food still in them that were clearly a few days old. I 100% do not recommend this place.

A new manager had just taken over and was just getting oriented so things were proceeding slowly. I'm certain things will improve.

It was unfortunate, but apparently 2 housekeepers walked out the day before our stay. We came to check in at check-in time, told no rooms we ready and to come back in 2 hours. We did, needed to wait 20 more minutes. Had to come back and forth to the room 3 times before I got the right key to get into the room. Knob did lock, deadbolt was broken. Really run down place. Our room had basic cleanliness. Ice maker in the lobby was the best ever. Ground level window in our room with a huge crack, curtains full of holes. There was never a person at the desk, you had to call a listed personal cell to check in, ask a question, etc. Community kitchen area with fresh coffee 1st morning, 2nd morning nothing. Microwave in communal kitchen area gross. The manager apparently just took over and was handed a mess on a busy travel weekend. Where was the owner? How could they just leave her there to deal with a sold out motel with all rooms booked and staff who walked out?

This is an older motel. Room was nice. We stayed there when it was pretty cold, and the heater did a great job of warming the room but was very loud. The mattresses on the beds are quite old. Not very comfortable. Everything was clean. An OK place to stay for a night, but keep expectations on the lower side.

Solo travelers use caution

I would not recommend this hotel. The room did not have any kind of lock besides the door knob. Also, the room keys were just behind the counter and the attendant was upstairs. I was traveling alone and felt very uncomfortable. Also, had to switch rooms because original room was not cleaned.

The microwave had food spills in it, the ice bucket and cup inside it looked like a soda had exploded so there were stains and drops in there splattered a bit, the bathroom mirror had spots all over it like it needed to be sprayed with cleaner. The beds were comfy and pillows were good though and the gal at the front was so nice and sweet.
