The room was recently upgraded and of good quality. When we checked in we were first given a room that other people were using. Our second room’s door wouldn’t open. Our third room worked out well, but a bit unnerving to work through multiple rooms. Breakfast was poorly stocked both mornings. We ate earlier in the breakfast time, so not sure what the issue was there. No room service between nights.

Clean, quiet, and safe place. The only thing I didn't like was that my room was across the stairs, and someone sat down there smoking a cigarette, and the smell entered the room. It was very unpleasant, and the air conditioning was very noisy. Room 116.

Booked for over a week. Toilets and sink were not cleaned during entire stay. Bed sheets were not changed until it was brought to the attention to the front desk and the room was not vacuumed. If you want the housekeeping to know what to clean, you have to leave them a note on exactly what you want, which I thought was odd because other motels they cleaned the toilet and sink area daily without being told. I never left any notes so if you want your room cleaned, write out your notes.

Polite staff. Ice machines didn't work but they allowed us to get ice from the lobby/bar area so that was nice of them. Was a decent stay.

Room was not available at check in. Had to clean myself upon check in because grease stain was on tv console. Hair was on sink and tub. I have my own cleaning products. Other than that, room is nicely put together. Plenty of storage space and updated furniture.
