I like that the property was located closely to the university. It was an extremely convenient location. I did not like the staff experience that i encountered upon arrival. He was not welcoming. He presented a room that was not cleaned. The linen was not clean and had cigarette burns on it. The bathroom was filthy and he declined to clean initially. My family and i went to the Dollar Tree on Main Street to purchase our own cleaning products. Once night came, the facilty has a large watchdog that is extremely big and intimdating. He barks extremely loud. It interrupts the peace. We checked out early as a result of our terrible experience.

Extremely outdated and run down. The phone was disgustingly filthy! The floors looks clean - walk around in your socks and discover how gross they were. The towels were the thinnest I have EVER had and they left a residue on my skin. Same with the bedding - very thin and not soft - outdated.

You get what you pay for
First let me say the Staff was Friendly and helpful. If you are expecting a Hotel that leaves you "Mints on the Pillow" this is not the Hotel for you. It is the most basic hotel on the planet. It is a room, with Air-conditioning and heat, one towel, two washcloths, and a roll of toilet paper. The bed was a bed, clean sheets, but after a long day .... who cares. Parking was not the best. The parking lot was "Full" of heavy construction trucks and there equipment. The hotel was full of construction workers, who were polite. They even offered food from their grills which were in the parking lot. By 5 am the parking lot was empty. If you like music... all the better, you can hear the other guests music 2 rooms away. I got exactly what I paid for.

Gross !!! Keep going !
Terrible stay and overpriced! The shower still had used soap and empty shampoo bottles indicating it wasn’t cleaned ! We decided not to shower ! And the body hair was everywhere! Gross ! Ice machine didn’t work! Smelly and dirty outside . Noisy guests ! Old blankets with lots of burn holes ! I sprayed Lysol everywhere and wiped down everything with Lysol wipes .. we were exhausted and just dealt with it . Not worth the money we paid ! And the ridiculous charge for the pet fee! I don’t mind paying a pet fee , but not being ripped off . This place is gross and the health department needs to shut it down !

Please don’t stay here !!
The hotel was in a unsafe area. The room smelled like cigarettes. The room stated that it could fit two people but this room was the size of a matchbox. We had to ask for towels and wash clothes, and tissue. The room has an windup air conditioning unit and in the day time the sun pierce through a small holes in the window. Our room door wouldn’t lock so anyone could just walk in our room at anytime, and I found out that a young lady overdosed at the hotel. This place is terrible!!

Your room booking was for a single bed which is meant for one person only, We fixed the lock to your satisfaction and you confirmed when it got fixed, You also said no moving to a different room upon our offer as it was all okay according to you. Some factors are beyond the control of motel management. TC

Filthy Room…Do Not Stay Here!
I reserved this room for my siblings and their room was in the same condition as my double double room. Filthy!! Bedding was dirty. Housekeeping didn’t want to provide fresh clean bedding until they “saw proof” of dirty bed linen. Dust and dirt on walls and caked on baseboard. Shower floor was dirty with mildew all over shower curtain. Afraid to let it shower curtain touch them.

Filthy! Call Health Department ASAP!
The room looked as if it had not been cleaned in a very long time. There was a lot of dirt and dust build up all along baseboards. I had to clean sink, toilet and shower the best I could using disinfectant cleaning wipes and they ended up a yellow brown color when I finished. Bedding had hair and stains on it. Shower fixtures were not secured to shower wall. Shower curtain was full of mildew and we were afraid to touch it. We were afraid to lay directly in sheets and blankets. Washcloths were dingy with dark stains (thankfully we traveled with our own).

My Stay
My experience was good. It was a little small and it is older but I was comfortable and had plenty of electrical outlets. The gentleman managing the motel was very nice and very helpful. This is no frills but worth the money.

I had been bitten in the room several times by aome unknown bug. My fave was bit atleast 3 or 4 times and my hands and arms. My eye is now almost swollen shut. After addressing this at the front desk i was told no refund and basically laughed at for even thinking such a thing. By his nonchalant attitude it seems this has been an issue before. I would suggest another place to stay. Day 2 and my eye is still swollen and bites marks are still very red hurt.
