Shower was weird, didn’t have a lot of water pressure in it. Heating unit in room kept making a weird noise. Floor was super cold, as it was concrete and no carpet or rug on it. My doors extra lock was broken. Most of the outlets in the room did not work.

I was not satisfied with ehat they call a Executive Suite. Had to kills many bugs in the bathroom. Rug in living area has wrinkles that do not lay flat causing a safety issue. Asked to empty the dehumidifier. Doing that since it was full was disgusting. The inside was so dirty I would throw it out snd buy a new one. Find it hard to believe that the owners or cleaning staff wouldn’t see these issues and correct them. Chose this place for location and that it had a good rating. Stayed three nights and in my experience this place is over rated and should not be charging the rates they do. I travel all the time and this is the worst place I have ever stayed at.

Dirty. No one cleaned before we entered. Food from previous guest in the fridge. Trash that I won't describe in the trash bin. Rug sopping wet from a recent rainfall. When I reached out by text (the only way to reach them) they asked me to inform the cleaner in the morning.

There was a hot shower, a bed with clean sheets and cold AC. That’s my bare minimum and it checked all the boxes. Pluses: they let me check in an hour or two early which was helpful. The pillows were fantastic. There was a dehumidifier running. We had to empty it, but I’m glad it was there to keep the space comfortable. Neutral: the floor is entirely concrete. Cold in the summer which is fine, might not be so nice in the winter. No rugs or carpeting. Bed was super firm. Not as comfortable as I was hoping but some folks might like it. A weirdly excessive amount of oriented strand board (basically plywood) for “decor”. Headboard, shelving, etc. Not so great: the ac was open at the bottom, letting whatever moths/little bugs fly in. I shoved a towel in the empty space to keep them out but it’s a short term fix. Parking was a little tricky. You’ll see what I mean if you book and get a corner unit. Nothing was a deal breaker and I’ll stay there again if I need to. It’s not the ritz, it’s a renovated motel in the middle of nowhere. Go in with reasonable expectations and you’ll be fine.

Plywood central!

To check in, you need to call a number and fill out a text with your information. Digital code for the door, no one there for housekeeping if you need something. Lovely land, but my goodness its awful. Pictures seem way bigger and nocer than what the rooms really are. Water doesn't get hot for showers. Toliet paper, as seen in my pictures, was left like that. Checked in to a messy dirty area. Food from previous stay was left in fridge and smelled so gross. Only good thing is the bed, thats it. Not worth the price. Theyre charging hotel numbers forgetting that they are just a motel. Come morning I had already been told I coupd have late check out, woke up to a house keeper banging on the door over and over. I answered it and she kept saying "no english". It was awful to be honest. Not kid friendly or pet, due to the way the traffic is on the highway on top of the hill. Plywood is literally thrown everywhere as decor, headboard. Got a splinter so be careful. I was in room 9. Allergic to bees? Theres hives everywhere specially in the ac which doesnt work that well.
Plywood, wall chopped up.
Headboard, plywood.
Plywood, very painful.
Gaps between the cold concrete and tub.

Not worth the price

Check in was confusing. No front desk person. And no one on property to trouble shoot. And so far no instructions for check-out. Totally self directed stay however that lack of staffing didnt seem to be reflected in any lower prices. The room was expensive & smaller than pictured. Positives: comfy beds and humble but cute decor.
