"Peace and quiet"

10.0

This might be my favorite motel that I’ve ever stayed at. It’s clean. The staff is friendly and it’s quiet. Nobody comes to bother you. They serve a cold breakfast of cereal and like muffins and bagels in the morning. The rooms are bad ass. The shower is nice and the water pressure is terrific. I saw zero bugs in the room, which is crazy for a motel. I’ve stayed in a lot of motels in this town and this is hands-down no competition the best one we’ve stayed at. My only complaint is that I booked through a third-party app so I did not know that there was going to be a $50 deposit and it was supposed to be cash but the guy let me use my card and I was able to get the money together for it that night so it wasn’t a huge deal, especially because they actually refunded me the deposit the next day which is again unheard of at motels. They typically try to keep your deposit. I only paid $64 and some change for it. It was a great day and I will definitely be staying again.

"Horrible parking!!!"

6.0

Parking is horrible,came back after a college game and there was not any parking at all, went to front desk and he was clueless as to what to do, i felt like it wasent his problem so he didnt care. I wasent going to leave until there was a solution or give me my money back, he finally said i could park in the front grassy area in front of the motel, yes, motel, this is definetly not a hotel, but i paid 220 for for one night thinking it was a nicer hotel! Not worth it at all!!! But its done, will definetly not stay here again for rhat price, my fault, should have researched better!!

"Pictures are deceiving "

2.0

I booked a room for 3 nights for parent weekend, I’ve stayed at one of these before and had an excellent experience. But this one was terrible. I ask for a non-smoking room but when I walked in it REEKED of smoke, and the smell saturated my PJ’s and my regular clothes so I smelled like it the next day. There were mysterious staines on the little sofa thing, burn holes in the bedding, what looked like patched bullet holes in the walls, the AC unit was more white noise than an actual AC, and the door gaps were so big I could almost see outside. The floors were gross and the water smelled weirdly funky. I left as soon as I could, but since I booked through here I’m fighting tooth and nail for a refund. Unless you give zero f**ks about quality- DO NOT STAY HERE.
