Disliked: Amenities
This is the third time that I stayed at this location. I was disappointed with the maintenance in the room and bathroom. Housekeeping came in before 7 o’clock one morning while I was still in bed - without knocking. I was eating breakfast and she turned off the lights, but I was sitting there.
The front desk staff was very nice as usual and the bed is very comfortable and clean.

The night staff was amazing she truly was great.. the morning staff was a nightmare! Told me there was breakfast and told me to sit.. i was waiting for 30 minutes and i saw her walking around barefoot in the lobby.. absolutely disgusting.. the location was nice decently kept room was cozy and comfortable…
The 1st shift lady is worthless but 2nd shift is g
The 1st shift lady is a totally rude person. She does absolutely nothing for you cant even greet you with a smile upon checking in. When you have traveled all day and need some rest time with a 4 and 6 yr old and your tv wont work her solution is lady will be in at 8pm she will fix then. The lady came up around 7pm but my wife had went online and after putting different codes in got the remote to work. The tv didnt have a power button so we couldnt turn it on to program the remote to it so had to work around that issue. The night shift lady is super sweet and friendly. Breakfast is cereal, bread slices individually wrapped with saran wrap, as well as bagels. Peanut butter is a jar of peanut butter kept in a fridge, had butter and a jar of jelly. No fruit, No juice, No waffle iron just a cereal, toast or bagel.
The hotel looked nice on the outside and the people were friendly, but when I checked the mattress both the bed cover and the cover on the mattress had stains all over them. I was told that they do wash them, but these were set in stains and a few looked similar to old urine type stains. The others were brown and darker set in stains. I'm not sure what the cause of these were.
There were also stains on the walls and the lamp had cotton coming out of the shade.
The leather lazy boy was nice, the mattress was soft and comfortable before I saw the stains. My comfort level with it changed after that.
Also the phone did not work at all, but I was able to go out to the front desk to alert them to the state of the bed clothes. Sadly, nothing could be changed due to the time at night. I spoke to the night person who was apologizing, but when they called the off site manager once they refused to refund me and would only offer another room. I left.
This morning I went to talk with the hotel owner to express my desire for a refund and the conditions of the room. The Indian lady wagged her finger in my face and told me that were fun after 15 minutes and went to the back room and when I proceed to Speak to her politely about my concerns, she proceeded to ignore me and make herself as far away from me as possible.
I would firmly not recommend staying here to anybody and if they do not correct these issues for the future it might be best if this place closes up.
The receptionist was very kind, welcoming, and helpful during check in. Her excellent service made a great first impression and contributed to a pleasant stay.
This hotel needs to close down and remodel. The room was old appearing and in desperate need of a new paint job. The bath is super small with a standard household tub/shower combo with a shower head usually provided with the bare minimum needed when it was installed likely MANY years ago. The walls have dings throughout. The bedspread and curtains are old, worn and had holes in them. The pillows are not Hotel quality pillows and were worn and flat. The linens on the bed consisted of a fitted sheet and the bedspread with holes. No top sheet or blanket and no extra blanket in the room. There is no "kitchen" space but a super small hardly cooling dorm size or smaller refrigerator. The microwave wouldn't fit a plate, the TV is super small. There baseboard (plastic) needs replacement, the toilet is cracked at the bottom and old. Another customer had came to the front desk advising their toilet wouldn't flush as I was checking in and my rooms toilet also didn't flush very well. I was a local in the city and moving so I needed a place to sleep. They were the least expensive but this room was no where near worth the almost $100 I was charged for it. Finally, I was told this hotel has a reputation for drugs and bugs. When I pulled in there were men standing by the front entrance drinking alcohol and hanging out. They could have at least been instructed to move away from the entrance as I was very uncomfortable due to late night and being a female who was alone. Awful experience.
I specifically requested and confirmed that I needed a room on the first floor due a family member with mobility difficulties. After paying for the room, was informed by the front desk person who had very limited English speaking skills who was extremely rude and volatile. That the room was on the second floor which required using a flight of stairs. Unfortunately my mother was unable to access the room, and had to sleep in the car overnight. The next morning we promptly checked out and found a motel that was more accommodating to our needs. I do not recommend this motel.
This is a real no-frills hotel. Staff isn't fluent in English and the entire facility is really dated. Rooms are sparse and more suited to migrant workers instead of travelers. The breakfast consisted of bagels and white bread and a selection of three dry cereals. The parking lot was strewed with building materials and yellow crime scene tape. I'm not sure where the photos were taken, but they don't reflect the current facility. This is a noisy location.
The room was suitable, except for the lack of toilet paper.
The lady working the desk was rude and not accommodating. I requested extra towels and was told no that the room had 2 towels. The room sleeps 4 people.
