Pretty nice all around, recently painted and appears it has new flooring. Good experience, minimal noise. Only slept and showered for the 2 nights, beds are pretty average, pillows are actually pretty good! Water pressure is GREAT.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The front desk staff was not very friendly, although we did arrive quite late at night. Our room was tidy, but by no means clean and smelt strongly of cigarettes. The beds were fine and check out was easy.

It was much worse than pictures. Smelled like smoke. I spilled water on the ground and wiped it up and the cloth was black. 0/10 recommend. Thankfully the food nearby was good. I would never stay here again

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was a fabulous restaurant down the road. Our room was not good. There are people who actually live in this hotel. They stand outside and smoke...a lot. There are ash stains everywhere by the doors. We were greated by a horrible smell when we entered our overheated room. There were pubic hairs all over the bathroom. There were dead flies in the corners of the room. We stayed in 2 different rooms at this hotel. Both were bad. If my husband had not prepaid for the second at the end of the week, we would not have returned after the first night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a very difficult stay. The room reeked of cigarettes, someone had pulled the smoke detectors off the wall and hidden them up on some shelves, the sheets and pillows had stains all over them, and there was other peoples’ hair and other unnamable things on the beds as if the sheets had never been washed and the beds had never been remade. I understand this was a budget motel, but no one should have to endure that even for the price paid.
