Simply awful. Stained sheets, inoperable doors, broken shower faucet, housekeeping didn’t make up the bed for 3 days, questionable folk hanging around the entrance 24/7. Clearly zero expenditures on maintenance/upkeep. Rude/apathetic staff topped off the experience. You get what you pay for; cheap in every sense of the word.

The person at the front desk was pleasant and the bed was comfortable, but that’s the only positive we could find. The parking lot was in need of repair and very dimly lit. There was hair in the sink, in the bathtub. Sticky stains on the wall. No instructions for wifi or the TV. No breakfast in the morning. Only had one pot of coffee and there was no creamer. Have stayed in a lot of lower end hotels and this was one of the worst.

Works well for me!
All I need in a hotel/motel stay is quiet, clean, friendly and a comfortable bed. This establishment checked all the boxes and I will happily stay there again. Excellent value!

Sketchy Place
Parking lot was very sketchy. People that seemed to be up to no good in the middle of the night outside. Front desk attendant was nice, bed was ok. The A/C unit looked like it hadn't been cleaned (the vents) in a long, long time.

We stayed at this hotel on the first night and the last night of vacation. The two stays couldn’t be any different. First stay - there were a lot of druggie tweakers in the parking lot when we arrived. Screens were out on the first floor and you could see the people in the rooms dealing drugs to the people in the parking lot. We pulled into the lot and we didn’t want to stay here. We were afraid to leave our expensive gear in our rooms to go eat. The room was outdated and dingy. Pillows and towels were awful. But….none of our motorcycles were messed with. We were expecting the worst when we went to the parking lot the following morning but not a single bike in our group was tampered with. Second stay - our entire group was completely dreading staying here again. When we pulled in the parking lot, there were no druggies. All the screens were on the windows. We got a room on the opposite side from where we stayed the first time and had a really nice room. Everything worked and there was a blow dryer. I’d swear it was a different hotel, NOTHING was the same as 6 days prior. I’d stay here again if I knew I’d get the good section of the hotel. Great location with gas and restaurants near by. I’m not even sure how to rate this hotel since I’d swear I was in a Twilight Zone episode because what we experienced on the first stay was the opposite of our second stay.

Needs a makeover
We stayed here for just an overnight on the road. The hallways were filthy, as in the carpeting was stained and hadn’t been vacuumed in weeks. The back entrance was broken and unlocked; anyone could have walked in. The saving grace was that the room was clean and the beds were actually comfortable. We were too tired to find someplace else to stay, but I will never stay here again.
Broken window in entry which was full of dead bugs. Did not see this when we got there the night before.

Needs better cleaning.
The Hall ways were very dirty and had supplies stored in an open area at top of the steps. The rooms were nice, although around edges of furniture was dusty. The beds are supper hard and make noise when you roll over. The front office personnel was helpful and friendly.

Close to restaurants and a cool out of town chill place with peace. No smoking rooms and the manager was rude. The first night my tv didn't work and they were rude about it. They made it seem like a big deal to switch me rooms the second night even though they offered.

A recently remodeled motel. Some things stayed the same like the doors and bathroom fixtures. However, the rooms were clean. The towels were clean and fluffy. The walls were a little thin but the staff was nice and you can’t beat the price.

The Orbitz app indicated breakfast was included, however at the hotel we were told they were not serving breakfast due to COVID-19. I think the staff were lying because none of them were wearing face masks which they should have been wearing if COVID-19 was such a threat as they perceived it to be. Very disappointed that the coffee wasn’t ready in the morning too.

Front line staff was good. Didnt need anything. For a low cost alternative, recommend bringing in your own sheets and comforter. The comforters were very stained. Found it out next morning when fixing the bed. Excessive Cigarette buds outside the alternative entrance. Website states Free Breakfast but still not offered due to "COVID" per staff. It is deceptive as that was one of the reasons for us to book this place. Besides, its open everywhere else. You get what you pay for. There are better alternatives. This will stand at second from the bottom of my list.
