Bed was lumpy and hard, air conditioning was very noisy, no breakfast at all, employee needed the day off, expensive for the accomidations. Customer service lacking. overall rundown. We wont recommend.

Okay for the price. The room was very spacious but the TV didn’t work and the beds were horribly squeaky. The queen bed was slanted downwards at the headboard so very uncomfortable and the metal bunk beds were so squeaky they woke everyone up all night. Breakfast wasn’t great either. All the fruit was rotten and hot items were extremely u appetizing.

The Motel was not as was presented in the web, the room wasn’t even clean enough, the air conditioning was in bad condition, the controls all damaged and only one temperature was set up. The up stairs walk area was dirty and needs someone care. The room walls in some areas was stains. Overall this place needs some work. But no all was bad, the front desk was very nice and the breakfast was good. If they take care of rooms and the outside of the building can be a good place to stay for the money.

Had reservations (paid via expedia) but woman at desk couldn't open the door to my room because of an issues with the electronic key. The Motel still charged me and said I need to get the refund from Expedia. Really? The poderosa collected it. They can now deal with Visa. The woman at the desk was very polite and nice and it wasn't her fault. I guess I involve Expedia and Visa.

We stay here all the time when visiting family . We usually see a younger lady who is fantastic and friendly . Today there was an older lady at the check in who was horrible. She has no customer service skills . If I had not already paid for room I would have cancelled . I will not stay here again if she continues to be here . Horrible !

They were unable to provide a room to me. The receptionist gave me plastic cards for three different rooms, neither of room has electronic lock. All metal keys were missing. No manager was at the size, reportedly the manager was fired earlier that day. Finally (after an hour of this boring nightmare) I just went to another motel. Yet have to get my money back because the room was paid in advance.

The adjoining properties were dilapidated and run down. Not the motel owners responsibility though. A good buffet breakfast with many options. A good set of instructions posted in each room.about how to operate the TV would be a good idea.
