Probably my last stay there

The hotel seem to be clean, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was on the first floor. There was an issue with our toilet. It would not flush, there was no one to fix it so they moved us to the second floor. There was no one to help us move which was difficult for us and we had to move our suitcases upstairs. And that toilet barely flushed for us but it made it the couple days we were there. The AC seem to have trouble keeping the room cool.

Room was very damp and most likely had mold. Shower curtain needs to be longer as it did not reach the tub and water gets all over the floor. Online photos are old, the hotel does not look the that. Hotel needs a complete overhaul. Again staff was very nice

Charged damage fee

We spend approximately $130,000 annually on hotels due to frequent employee travel, and we’ve never encountered a situation like this. This property charged us a $300 fee for what they claimed was a “horrible mess” left in two rooms. When we requested photo evidence to address the issue with our team, the only image provided was of a single dirty towel—hardly justification for such a charge. If you’re going to assess a damage fee, thorough documentation should be standard. We do not recommend this hotel and will not be staying here again.

I stayed a week at the property and it was a great experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was convenient and good for going off to work early in the morning. Convenient location to dining and where I needed to go. Also, the laundry area was well worth it too. I would definitely stay again

Would stay again

Comfortable and clean motel. Couldn’t tell from the listing that it was a motel instead of a hotel but it was fine. Nice area. Good breakfast. They charged an extra mandatory $60 incidental fee at check in that should be refunded in 7-10 business days that the listing didn’t say anything about. Bonus was the kitties on the property that we got to pet.

For the price we paid, i was a little disappointed. The rooms were outdated, the AC smelled moldy and the bathroom had a shower curtain that didnt keep hardly any water in the bathtub. We ended up having to use our towels to sop up all water that splashed out. The pictures that were posted of the property made it look nicer than it actually was. probably wont be staying here again. the staff was nice though.

Yuck!

We decided to take our Frenchi on vacation with us, we booked through hotels and there was no way to pick the “pet friendly option”. We get there to check in and let them know we brought our pet with us and they scrambled to find another room, I’m guessing they have rooms dedicated just for pet owners and then charged us additional fee’s which I would be fine with if the room was not disgusting, smelled horrible like a dog kennel, carpet looked to be about 25 years old same could be said about the dated furniture, toilet kept us up constantly running, overall cleanliness was poor considering the price we paid.
