"Excellent"

8.0

Worth the price for a quick overnight trip as a couple. Room was very dated and mini fridge didnt get too cold but worked. Walls are thin so you can hear voices from the next room and outside easily so I wouldn't recommend if that bothers you. Staff was friendly. *Note - 3 budget motels are being ran by 1 management company so check in is next door. Looks like they are trying to maintain and up keep these old properties which is nice!

"Choose something else"

6.0

This was a terrible stay from start to finish. The room reeked of a foul odor covered with men’s cologne, the soaking tub was full of sediment, and the bed was uncomfortable. On top of that, the office was closed so check-in had to be done at another hotel. Absolutely not worth any money.

Check-in was a bit cumbersome. There was one location for all 3 adjacent hotels on the property. The process took quite a while as there were numerous people waiting. The staff was not very friendly. My key card quit working the second day we stayed. Had to wait in line for 20 minutes to get a new one. Property and room were a bit run down, in need of updating and repairs.

The Hot tub and pool were nice. The room was pretty good size, and the room didnt smell. Some of the outdoor areas need a little repainting but otherwise pretty good. We enjoyed our stay. Keep up the great work. God Bless

"Save your money and sleep in the car"

2.0

I would have rather slept in the truck. The carpets were NASTY. i swear from the 80s original carpet. You could tell they were thick with dirt and moisture from decades of use and neglect. So were the beds. They were rock hard spring in your back type beds. I can deal with hard beds. Cant deal with stains on the box springs, and stains you can see thru the sheets. My dogs didnt even want to walk on the floor and they roll in poop. It smelled like old indian food. The water was hot for one shower but not two. Wall plug ins did not work. There was a maxed out plug in strip for a mini fridge i didnt dare open, tv and i think the window ac. I asked my husband if we could go buy a tent and sleep in the woods bc i was so grossed out by the carpet, beds and spiders in the corners. Non of the windows locked. There was mold on the walls on the bathroom where the paint has peeled up. Our only other options for hotels were equal to a car payment $$$ is the only reason we didnt leave.

This property shares a front desk/lobby staff with 2 other hotels, so check in was NOT at the property. (the people we worked with were fine the 2 stars is b/c there was no one at OUR hotel) I would have loved to know that ahead of time. The picture is an aerial view, up close this place is a bit run down and kind of felt a bit shady. People were shooting off fireworks and with no front desk staff it was kind of the wild wild west. The room was very small, but mostly clean. I would not stay here again. We were trying to save money and we got what we paid for.
