This motel is the epitome of "gets the job done". The price is fair. My room was small but had everything you'd expect from a place of this standard. It was clean upon entering. I appreciate the fact that everything worked, and worked well at that. The shower was hot, A/C ice cold, fridge and freezer got everything cool in no time, bed was comfortable. I didn't even try to turn on the TV but I'm sure it worked.. owners seemed nice. Id stay here for another night again

I checked in requesting a non-smoking room. The room has a permanent smoke smell. It’s nearly unbearable. I’m only here for one night. Otherwise I would have left.

The hotel staff canceled one of 3 rooms that we made reservation at 6pm while we were driving to their hotel on the check-in date. We still don’t understand why they did it before midnight of the date, which is a common practice in hotel business curtesy.

When I got there, they had me down for a smoking room. My daughter was with me so I explained to them that I was not sure how I was signed up for a smoking room and requested that they put me in a nonsmoking room. At first they hesitated stating that the motel was full. I requested that they just cancel in that place and was ready to just find another room nearby. They then found a way to put me on what the said was a nonsmoking room. We went into the room and the first thing I smell is smoke. I explained this to the guy who assured me that this was indeed a nonsmoking room and that it’s probably smoke coming from the outside. I went with it and got all unpacked. It got time to take a shower and the bathroom door didn’t even close. Now I will say for the cost, I didn’t have the highest expectations but even those were let down. So my daughter and I had to cut the air off to shower so we wouldn’t get too cold because the bathroom door would not stay closed no matter what we did. Then the shower was wonky and the temp labels were backwards and if you turned it too far in either direction, the water would turn extremely cold. It was a delicate dance to get the temp right to take a shower. What warrants the low rating is the fact that as we got ready to go to bed around 10, the whole room started to slowly wreak of cigarette smoke like LOUDLY. You would have thought we were smoking! We could hardly breath! I’m convinced this was still the same smoking room we started with!

It’s a 1 because I’ve seen worse and there is no 1.5 option. Let’s start with the check. Yep guys were cool and seemed like good people. Then was the opening of the door… tiny room with little lighting. First look at the bed and realized there were burns all over the sheeting. Ok, I ordered a smoking room, I can live with that. Then I took off my shoes from long cold day of work and immediately stepped on dirt. Looking around I see the floor is filthy and full of just, crap or whatever all over the corners. Bathroom,.. filthy. Toilet was clean for the most part but the shower was disgusting. I legit brought cheap flip flops from the target not far to shower. Microwave available but didn’t work. Fridge was gross inside and out. Area is not a bad spot, however it seems to attract people who aren’t exactly friendly. Cops were there one of my two nights. Only reason I don’t give it a full 1 or a zero is price and area. The area is actually pretty nice once you escape the parking lot.

The room was clean; however the bedding had a blood stain on it. The 1st room had a smoke alarm that was chirping as did the 2nd room. I found the hush button so I could sleep. Walls are thin- can hear next door TV clearly. I did like that there were no bedbugs.
