This is a reasonably priced, decent condition clean , staff is not unfriendly but not super welcoming. The expedia website said breakfast included which was a factor in our choice for cost and travel time, now we have to spend time and money to go to a restaurant. If i had known this upfront, i would've picked a different hotel.

Under new ownership and they are friendly and accommodating. They are busy updating and painting and you can tell the difference. I will be staying there again when I'm in the area.

Rundown and dirty
This place is in need of a deep cleaning, some paint and repair work. Shower was filthy and full of hair. We had no hot water in the morning. At 6am there was no breakfast so we just left. Couldn’t get out of there soon enough. Don’t stay here you can do much better than this dump.

We checked in. Found that we were charged for the room twice. When booking. I stated we would pay upon arrival. My husband used his checking account. And it also came out of mine. They said to contact Expedia and wouldn't credit oneback so we left and stayed somewhere else.

There was no breakfast inspite of being advertised online when I booked. The room smelled like incense so we had to open the window, but it didn't help. The bed was very hard. The pool was not open. But...the shower was great and we liked the new flooring.

Booked the hotel based on pictures of the rooms. They must be old pictures. The room was clean but the left bottom corner of one of the beds was broken and we had to put the bible and telephobe books from inside the nightstand under the corner to keep it from tipping. The remote for the Tv didnt work and there was no way to change the channel and it was stuck on the 6 channel news mix. The hallway smelled like every person in the hotel was smoking pot (and we have a ten year old with us) and when my husband took a shower, there was a cockroach in his towel. It was one of the worst hotels we have stayed at. We had no choice but to stay and thank goodness our stay was less than 8 hours. I would not recommend staying here because you will not sleep well either if for no other reason than that the beds are also really hard.

First off, there is no breakfast as advertised. They put out a single pot of lukewarm coffee, that's it. The building isn't clean, the staff couldn't even find out booking at first, and there is a distinct smell to the place that is less than pleasant.

Bathroom garbage bag not changed, was dirty. We were unaware that there would be smoking rooms in our hall. Accidentally booked smoking room, had to change rooms when we got there. Desk staff was very helpful. Disappointed that there was no continental breakfast available.

The hotel felt like a dormitory for field workers. It was pretty filthy. You can tell they rarely clean anything. The room was pretty worn out. I saw ants, and some other bug that I'm not sure what it was in my room. Because it was cheap I can overlook some things, but then the wifi barely worked at all which is really more than I could bare.....

Overall, a fine value. I wasn't expecting a platinum experience. The rooms were a bit outdated, which is fine, but little details could have been attended to. Things like missing trim pieces, chunks of paint missing, cracked lampshades - easy fixes if one took the time. There was no breakfast (it was advertised), and the indoor pool had no circulating water (filter, heater), and the water was cloudy and unhealthy-looking.

I was assigned to a nonsmoking room that was surrounded by rooms containing guests who were allowed to smoke. The smoke odor permeated my nonsmoking room and was unpleasant for someone who has allergies and strongly dislikes the smell of smoke. There were burn holes in the bedspread and loose cermaic tiles in the bathroom.

When I arrived to check in for my pre-paid stay they did not have my reservation, offered no explanation, apology, or help. The couch in the lobby was too dirty to sit on. It was late and dark; I was traveling alone and felt very vulnerable. The lack of empathy was appalling.

It was dirty in every way. The smoke alarm on ceiling was wrapped with a bag. The floor and trim around toilet and tub were dirty. Bath mat looked like it had never been cleaned. Walls and baseboard all scuffed up. We were hoing to take the loss and leave, but decided to try and sleep and leave as early as possible. I couldn't believe Expedia would represent this motel and allow their customers to purchase a room like this. I took pictures gor proof of my complaints.

Clean but...
Although staff was courteous they haven't offered free breakfast for years just coffee yet listing promotes free breakfast. The table in the room was unstable. The bolts were so loose. I had to hand tighten them, and still didn’t feel comfortable putting my computer on the table. It was nice to be on the main floor, but there is no sound in insulation when someone walks on the second floor at five in the morning. The sofa in the lobby had a sheet over it and the bushes and trees at the front of the motel, looked like they hadn’t been trimmed at least all year. If there weren’t cars in the parking lot, I would’ve thought the place was abandoned.
