Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
For $80-something for a night, there were stains from either blood or feces on my sheets, one of the pillows, towels, and some spots on the walls around the suite. There was a hole punched through the bedroom door and you can see other spots had heen filled from the same. I let the front desk know about it and showed them pictures. I was expecting cleanliness but that is not what I received on this visit. Everyone was nice, but I don't think I'll be booking here again any time soon.

Never again!

First off the room was so out dated and just looked dirty. Thank god I brought my owm pillow because the pillows where very small 3 (10" x 10"). I found 2 bugs in my bed so spen the next 20 mins inspecting the bed. Says they had a blow dryer nope asked for one but none available. This room had a microwave, stove top that worked but no coffee maker. Really that is the one thing they should have. They also had a fridgerator. Must have been a efficacy room at one time. They also had Direct TV.

Outside access doors open all night. Tiny square pillows (3 on a king size bed) Lights not working at all. Room half remolded lol...not even fully painted. Mold on showerhead...rust on ceiling. Hairs in the bed. Literally not a coffee cup to be found anywhere or coffee pot. NO HEAT in rooms so you cant even sit and watch tv. Property is barely lit. Ceilings are falling in the halls. Room doors barely shut and you can hear everything... Honestly no tell motel would be a better description and it should be 1/4 of what they charged. Shame. Its a beautiful property.

We had a non smoking room that smelled really bad of cigarettes and weed. The hall smell was overpowering. The room is dated but I can work with that. There was cigarette burns in the counter and the bedding. The price was good but I would never go back.

No frills but good value

Nice size room with a separate couch for TV watching and desk for those in need. It was a "no frills" motel with no breakfast being included. The room was a bit dated, but clean with no cigarette smell in the air (it was a no smoking room). We recommend adding a bath mat and bar to the bath/shower to make it safer to take a shower. We also recommend adding a TV guide to each room to assist with navigating the various available channels.
