Location was good

It said that they had a continental breakfast but they did not. That was a bummer. A bit noisy. We were on the bottom floor.

"Absolutely Filthy"

1.0

The bed was comfortable.

It was absolutely filthy. The room had nice granite countertops and tile floors. The problem was the floors were disgusting with piles of dirt and hair in the corners and bits of who knows what all over. The baseboards were black and brown. The first room had tons of cobwebs all over the wall. I asked for a different room, and it was a little better, but still filthy. I have stayed in many cheap motels over the years. I can only think of one that was this bad. All they need to do is deep clean the rooms regularly. They also didn't bring new towels or empty the trash. We had to go ask for new towels. Finally, the AC was exceptionally loud and annoying.

"Good value for what you pay for!"

7.0

Great location to local attractions. Temperature control and amenities all work great. Staff is very nice and professional.

Mattresses and sheets could use replacing- spots and stains were visible on both beds. Additionally some hair was left over from the previous occupants/cleaning.
