The property was very dirty. The floors looked like they were never cleaned. The bathroom sink wants hardly attached to the wall and the toilet rocked. Over all this hotel was disgusting and i dont plan to return. We even ended our stay a few days early because of the filth.

Waited quite a while at the front desk to check in, even called the property twice while waiting and got a voice message saying they were not available at this time. Mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. Price too high for the quality of the property.

Had trouble with key cards two days in a row. TV in room didn't work, I advised the front desk and they said they would come up in ten minutes, never showed. If you just need a bed, this motel will meet your needs.

We both were super itchy in the bed which is very scary! The room was dirty, the toilet struggled to flush, and the sink wouldn’t drain.

Very much a 1-2 star, but we got a room and had a place to sleep so that's all we needed i guess really. Thank you

Not bad for the price Bed was comfortable, decor was beautiful. Great customer service however there was dust built up on the lamps and behind the doors. Mold was growing above the shower

Hallways were very dark. Access was limited for handicapped people (walking down ramp was awkward and took time.) Bathroom fixtures were very small and low. Rooms were clean. Breakfast and coffee were good.

The hairdryer was gone from the wall, but the cord still hanging from wall looked chewed. We didn’t need it, however did let the front desk attendant know. Our sleep was fine. Would stay at this property again.

Room 1 had no bedding on the bed, the dresser was backwards and away from the wall. One of the beds had a large dark stain. Room 2 looked like it was beyond time for maintenance to address it there was chunks of paint missing and when I went to use the restroom my son called me out. The room door had no door handle. We had to call the front desk from our cell as there was no room phone and we couldn’t get the door open. Front desk took 2x to answer the phone. Room 3…..well I’m tired and can live with the smell for a night. Not worth 1/2 the price. Save yourself and go anywhere else.
