Room was disgusting & dirty with hair all throughout the linen along with blood stains. Shower curtain was cover in mold. Smoke detector wasn’t functioning & laying on top of the “closet rack”. When I asked for clean sheets I was told “I was the worst guest they’ve ever had!” & given sheets that were also covered in hair & bloodstains & told to change them myself.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I needed to on this one because so many reviews are negative for this little motel! Please keep in mind that it’s a MOTEL! If you are expecting a swanky hotel, move on. This is a clean, affordable and convenient motel along the 127 yardsale route! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The area is safe and convenient. The rooms are clean, beds are comfy, and there are lots of close dining option. I have zero complaints to list!

Guy at desk was rude did not give 1st floor smoking as requested. Beds were very uncomfortable, linens stained and seemed dirty/hair in them, everything was sticky, very few tv channels. Microwave was nasty, floors dirty, no water pressure, toilet very low. Check out is too early, price way too high for what it is.

The customer service was amazing. No one bothered us and the place at night was so qell litt that the comfort of safety was high. Nothing in our room was ever touched or moved and my only complaint would be that ants were in the bathroom.

Drug area, use extreme caution

There were addicts all over the property. One couldn’t even stand up. Some rooms are remodeled and may be the ones in the pictures but ours was not. I won’t stay here again.

The only thing decent about our stay was the quick check-in because it was mainly on-line and the staff was nice enough. Other than that, the room was terrible, with fixtures misting or broken, the beds were horribly uncomfortable. I might as well have been sleeping on a futon mattress. And the shape of the building and facility itself was maybe a little better than shambles, with covered, non-functioning pool included.
