1. It is strange that the hotel charge, not pre-authorized credit at the beginning. 2. The damage deposit pre-authorized charge was $200 and the staff shared that for some rooms, the deposit was $600, much higher than other hotels. 3. I am not sure if they should keep a copy of my ID?

The room we had was dirty. There were layers of dust and grime on the baseboards etc. The bathroom vent is filthy. The door hooks fell off the door. It really needs deep clean. Disappointing because the recent reviews were positive.

A very clean, economical motel with pleasant staff. I had reserved a queen kitchenette but ended up with just a queen regular room which was okay but I really needed a fridge with a freezer of which there was just a fridge, no freezer in it. Otherwise, a decent motel for the money.

An older property that has been updated. It's clean, was quiet. Nothing special but cheap, cheerful, and an affordable place to crash. I felt comfotable staying here the night when roads were bad. Not bad at all
