Guest Reviews

• Gobert (8/5): - Easy to access A little pricey for location but still decent
• Phillip J (3/5): Totally Disgusting.... - The place is a dump. Not very well kept up. They advertised a "Free Breakfast"...but the only things available were bowls of Raisin Bran & Fruit Loops, warm milk, juoce, and lousy coffee. That does not even come close to constituting what a Breakfast should be. That was a very pitiful offering...The worst hotel Breakfast I've ever experienced anywhere in the world in my 80 years. ... They should be ashamed of yourselves. There was no bread for toast, or bagels, or croissants, no oatmeal, no pancakes, and eggs, hash browns, and sausage were nowhere to be seen. The desk clerk and a guy that said he was a manager were indignant when I complained and said that their claim of a "Free Breakfast" was false advertising. I asked for a partial refund of between $12-15 to cover the cost of Breakfast elsewhere, but was laughed at to my face..They said that they were just a small motel and could not afford to put out full Breakfasts like Holiday Inn and the Hiltons of the world do. Very very pathetic... I wouldn't let my dog stay there...

• Dianne (2/5): - To be totally honest nothing There was slime in the coffee pot. Toilet moved every time you sat down. Mold in the bathroom. Noisey. No soap. Advertises breakfast provided. But it was only cereal and only one kind. I didn’t pay 85 dollars to stay in a hotel like that
• Quanda (9/5): Over all it’s a good place to stay - There was a pool and it’s kid friendly They supposed to serve breakfast but it’s only cereal
• Heather (3/5): Bed was comfortable but feeling safe was not - It was local to where we needed to be We pulled up late about 1130pm and you had girls fighting on the top floor guys fighting in the parking lot and people partying in the parking lot smoking and no remote control for the room

• Carrier (4/5): Horrible - Location Service was horrible. Front desk did not know what she was doing. Took 45mins to check in because for some reason my resv couldn't be found. AC in the room didn't work and front desk said she couldn't move me per management. The shower had hair in it and some mucus was in the sink. Toilet was also dirty. Floor wasn't swept and the outside was very busy and noisy.

• BRITNEY (10/5): -
• Barbara (1/5): It sucked - The rooms were clean. Everything. They say they have breakfast but don’t. By choice. Our room was full of ants late at night and the front desk gave me windex. They ran out of coffee cups. The coffee machine was broken they said but only at night. The door was off the hinges and my husband got his drill and fixed it so the door would close. And we paid $77 a night for that

• Sage (4/5): Not great. - Very dirty. Tv was busted and had weird mold spots in the first room. Second room had roaches. Hotel desk clerk was extremely nice and they gave us a refund no issues. Decent people just a terrible hotel. The pool looked decent.
• Jaycob (5/5): Good for value - Cheap. My first room ac didn’t work, but they did change my room for me so it worked out
• brontez (2/5): - It was very dirty and rude customer service i will never stay there again
• Samantha (2/5): - The front desk person was nice but the property was scary. The room was gross and smelled of stale cigarettes. There was some shady characters staying and wandering around so we chose to vacate and stay somewhere else safer.
• Kendrick (10/5): - It was quiet, room was clean, pool is nice, would stay here again
• eddie (7/5): -
• susan (2/5): - I will not stay there anymore because I made reservations bout three weeks in advance for a king room smoking and when I got there they didn't have it and told me I couldn't cancel it because I was still going to get charged. I don't think that's right, so I want be going back
• Andrew J. (10/5): Good & I’m glad it was affordable - Close to everything The breakfast!!!
• Trevor (8/5): - Small The type ofof people
• Jessica (4/5): The staff was not accommodating, until you become stern about leaving. This just wasn’t a pleasant stay. - There was a pool, Breakfast was a joke, there was mold in the rooms by the air conditioners, if you got a room that even worked.

• Cheryl (2/5): Drug dealers on site - Drug dealers +hookers in room 227 the worst day I’ve ever had in a hotel and I’m a platinum member with Hotels.com. The Front Desk girl did her best to try to bring down the noise in the property, but constant fights. People knocking on my door by mistake as they were clearly Seling drugs, and hookers next-door. I was not able to get any sleep and it was pretty late. Check out, but I left early. Don’t waste your money in this property. It’s pretty scary.
• Britney (7/5): Good -
• Rhonda (10/5): Exceptional -
• ADRIENNE (6/5): - I made the mistake of not changing the number of people for the booking and when I went to the front desk to ask for more toilet paper & towels I was told they couldn’t give any due to the booking being for only 1 person. I would not stay here again
• Joseph (10/5): It was a great value - It was quiet and clean. Older but well kept. There was a few kind of shady people but they minded their own business so it really didn’t bother me.

• Gatte (9/5): Superb -
• Cody (6/5): I have been in way to many hotels and motels August 2nd 2024 through March 10th. 2025 - Shower toilet needs improvement plastic mattress covered for all should be required. Very clean except for shower walls toilet seat was loose. Vanity was exceptional. So was the rest of the room.

• Bean (4/5): What?? - Ice machine not working properly, front desk notified and no change or maintenance. Sad... No food items in free breakfast stay, juice machine looks out dated and non filtered, also, cereal was just two choices, and coffee machine not appealing
• Bean (4/5): Disappointing - Liked the location and the offering of wifi connection for low mobile service, and patience for complications from cold weather conditions Low selection of complimentary breakfast, charge for children under 13 yrs, obvious
• Britney (10/5): Exceptional -
• Verified traveler (2/5): Worst Decision You Can Make. - The property was nasty. Disgusting the sheets were horrible. They say they have breakfast, but do not have breakfast. They tell you to get cereal with no milk. The staffs attitude is not customer friendly. The guy threatened to call the police on me even after I proceeded to show him I had the money for my room.
• William (4/5): - Staff was nice, cleaned my room daily, but shower was disgusting the water had rotted out the metal door frame and allows water to go into living space behind the wall. Room shouldnt be rented it needs to be fixed whole wall is open and rotting mold and whatever else inside it. Only stayed due to no refund policy 2 nights for work.
• Raneka (10/5): Exceptional -
• Verified traveler (6/5): OK for Quick Over-nighter w/ VERY LOW Expectations - Desk personnel were very good. Room had a couple issues with broken items, for example the toilet paper holder, but was clean and comfortable. Breakfast advertised, but I went by at 6:10am and there was cold cereal, a coffee machine, really old pump creamer containers (creamer separated or overly thick), and a juice machine.
