Overall stay was OK. Property very old, not well maintained, needs painting. Refrigerator front rusted, looked like it belonged in garbage dump, but it did work well. Very noisy people at night. Sink needs work, every time I ran water there was bad smell coming from it. The numbers 1 and 2 did not work on microwave. Very nice LG TV with good cable system, Cox. Mattress was also nice, fairly firm as I prefer. Room was clean, no bugs.

I liked the staff. Really. Not sure if my review can be objective: it's the first time I've stayed at the motel. The smell of cigarettes (I don't smoke): it was all around the room. All of my clothes absorbed it, unfortunately. But it's a quiet place with quiet guests. No noise, no disturbance. The only thing I didn't like was the smell.

The air conditioner was not working properly, it was obvious that it was very old. The worker who came to look at it said it was new. It was cooler outside. The TV remote froze. Couldn’t get the guide to turn the channel. My brother fixed it himself. Sign out front was for economy inn but it has changed hands. Couldn’t even find the motel because of this. The funny thing is the new name has the word hotel in it? This is not a hotel, but a motel.

Run down and dirty. TV didn’t work, no coffee, the window was taped and painted with the tape left on and most of the screen torn out, very tacky, hair EVERYWHERE. The towels were disgusting, stained and covered in hair. There was other colored hair all over the bathroom floor. The A/C barely worked, but was loud as heck. No privacy between rooms, you could hear a pin drop from the next room. Rude staff who said to go to McDonald’s if I wanted coffee and mentioned Dunkin but failed to mention it was temporarily closed. What hotel doesn’t provide a coffee pot? Charged me for my pets when the room was filthier when we arrived than when we left. Didn’t provide enough towels and the towels were not big enough for a small child, nevermind an adult. Left after 14 hours, but their no cancel policy wouldn’t allow me a refund for the second night I’d already paid for. The beds are really tiny, didn’t even fit two kids never mind if I’d brought another adult. They painted over spots in the room and bathroom with paint that didn’t match the rest of the spaces. Why cheap out while charging so much? The shower has no water pressure. This was a cheap motel we way over paid for. I absolutely do not recommend.

Staff was very nice and wanted to make sure our stay was a good experience. Our room was very clean. I liked the fact they accept pets and no carpet in the room. Plenty of food establishments next door and across the street. The motley is bigger than the pictures show. There are rooms in the back too. Owner stayed up all night during Hurricane Adelia to welcome anyone who needed him. Family owned motel I'm assuming.

The sign outside the hotel was still showing its previous name, thus we passed it 3 times before turning in to ask directions. The OYO name was INSIDE, which is not helpful to finding it. Check-in was friendly, but he had difficulty finding our reservation, not sure why, but it seemed half the hotel was under renovation, so perhaps bad internet? We had difficulty getting signal from the room too. Room was spotless but sparse, it only had one tiny trash bin, and small towels, causing my husband to forego his shower so I could use both. I imagine conditions will improve as the changeover finishes, so overall I found it an ok place to stay for the price.
