You get what you pay for. This is budget hotel. Very affordable. It's not the Four Seasons. However, I'd stay there again. It's not a great place, but it's affordable. I felt it was clean enough and safe.

Worst property I have ever seen. Disgustingly dirty and out dated. Toilet paper roll half used. Shower filthy and moldy. Hair on wall. We didn’t stay. Staff was nice and supportive in cancelling due to above.

Good Place, Hot Coffee and Friendly Staff

The coffee was hot and the person at the desk friendly. The place was clean and economical. We'd stay there again if we came that way.

This motel was nice and clean.. Check-in and check out were seamless. It is false advertising for the breakfast and the Egyptian cotton bedding lol..but I wasn't expecting much. The "breakfast" is Little Debbie snack ckes but the coffee is delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

It's an old school, road side inn. Inexpensive. Bed was comfortable. Guy at check in was kind. Room was small for a king sized bed but it worked.

The staff at check-in was wonderful, but this property should not be listed on Orbitz. It was a very rundown motel that felt more like it rented rooms by the month. It had the bare minimum but honestly did not feel either safe or comfortable. I don't think anyone booking online would feel satisfied with this location.

This property is dated and doesn't look so nice on the outside. But, the rooms are spacious: both the bathroom and the room with the beds. The furnishings are quite nice. As I drove up, I was dubious, yet ended up being very pleased with this accommodation.

The hotel is definitely on the lower end. Kind of a little sketchy, but the room I stayed in was clean enough. No breakfast per say, though there was some to go snacks. I was double charged on my card and was able to get a reimbursement within 2 days so I'm going to give it a good rating.

Needs improvement.

Room it’s self was ok , no, it was half the size in footage that you advertised. I stayed there about 12 years ago and it was much nicer than it is now. I wont stay again. On a good note, the manager and staff were good, helpful and polite. Hotels, located within walking distance of downtown only couple blocks.
