We stayed here for almost a week, in this week we didn’t get room service once. Had to reactivate the keycards every single day multiple times because of “system issues”. entirety of staff smoked so the entire building smelled like smoke. Unsafe part of town, Ubers are very very spotty. Unsafe, drivers and driving conditions around property no food or amenities nearby within walking distance. Staff is unfriendly and on some occasions, rude. Honestly, only recommend in emergency situations. It will give you a bad and a place to sleep, but it will not be an enjoyable time.

Property undergoing management change so it has to get better. Currently in disrepair and unclean. Kiosk checkin with person living in Asia was strange and impersonal.

Rooms were nice and comfy. Outside of hotel was sketchy and check in by kiosk wasn’t difficult but wasn’t working. So took a little longer

We have been there several times. It is clean and affordable which are most important to me. We had to have help to get the tv started ( only waited 10 minutes), but then the volume was stuck at a very loud setting. Also, the air conditioning couldn’t be turned down. it was 58 degrees or turn it off.

Room wasn’t in the best condition. Floors had trash that should have been swept. Tub was dirty and toilet smelled like urine. Manager had her boyfriend there kicking it so she had to put on clothes to come down to speak with me. Bed was filthy and the couch mattress was nasty..

My son and I were very disappointed with this motel, 1) There was no clerk on duty - only a video screen with a person monitoring the area. I have no idea if he was onsite somewhere or not. There were no instructions about what to do - just a person eventually calling out if they could help us. 2) The FREE breakfast was almost non-existent, so I guess that's why it was free. There was some cereal, but no milk. There was a waffle maker with no instructions and a broken timer so it was challenging to make a waffle. There were no yogurt, fresh fruit, or rolls available. 3) Room was clean, but there was only 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel, and 3 wash clothes in the bathroom even though there were two of us and we had the room booked in advance so they knew we were coming. 4) We booked for 2 nights, but our keycards expired after the first day. They issued new ones, but when I tried mine, it didn't work so I had to go back down to the video screen to get a new one. 5) All of the other motel building were boarded up and run down and a flock of vultures visited the site every morning. 6) When I checked out, I wanted a receipt which they could not print and needed my email address to send it. I hope you read this before you book. Thanks.

I stayed from July 3rd through July 6th. Check in was through a kiosk. We asked for an extra key (2-bed room) and the Kiosk jammed. We came back about an hour later and got the extra key. Breakfast was served from 6:30am to 9am. I arrived at 7:45 am and most everything was gone. There was a few pieces of toast, not butter. Pancake batter was used up and no one was around to replenish. There was no hot water for a shower at 8:30am. I shower at 5:30am to get the hot water and it lasted for about 4 minutes of my 5 -6 minute shower. The last day there was no hot water at 5:30am either. Shower early and quickly. The smoke alarm was on the floor next to the fridge (wires hanging from the ceiling). there was no dresser and only one hanger. The towel bar in the bathroom was missing from the wall - the right side was attached but the left and the bar was missing. the toilet seat was attached on one side but lose on the other. The TV would not work. I had someone from the staff look at it and she could not get it to work either. She said the manager would come by but I did not see anyone when I was there. I had plans and not able to hang out for a manager about a TV. I was told it was the Wifi was out and effecting the TV. They said it would probably be Sunday or Monday when it would be fixed (I checked out Saturday). I checked with another guest and they were not having a problem with their TV so it is unlikely a Wifi issue.

The TV didn’t work. Didn’t feel was that clean. The room next door had people living on it. The housekeeper kept checking on me for some reason asking me if she could help me. Yet, she could barely speak English and not sure why she kept asking me. The lamps didn’t work and were unplugged. It definitely is not a place you should pay over $50 a night. It should be listed as cheaper. It is more of a place that should rent their rooms by the hour.

Clean and comfortable but the air conditioner needs repaired because it’s making a loud noise. Area near door lock was battered as if someone had previously tried to break in. TV remote was missing. However When I stayed the previous week, none of there problems were existed on another room. Only other thing was breakfast extremely limited and the waffle iron wasn’t clean

For Carbondale to be the intersection of two solar eclipses, this place did little to encourage guests to return. The grass was not cut, the parking lot needs repaving, and various other things could have made our trip much better. It’s like they don’t really care about their establishment with the boarded up windows, and such. Very disappointing.

Eclipse stay
At 3 am there was a lot of noise down the hall and it was just a monday night. The breakfast was hot, and not continental, which was nice but definitely was just provided for the morning of the eclipse and we stayed 2 nights so the following night was just continental. Other than that it was a good stay!
