Requested handicap access as I had hip surgery a few months ago. Our room was up stairs. Room was extremely hot even with heat turned down. TV didn’t work. Crumbs all over floor.

we booked this stay based on breakfast included. There was no breakfast. We booked double queen beds - and we were given a room with one queen bed. They were switching cable tv wires in rooms - and we were told not to go to our room yet because they wanted to make sure the tv worked - so we left the property waiting for them to fix our room that expedia had available when we booked.
The girl was really nice.

The place needs updating but was clean and the bed was comfortable. The gentleman at the front office was friendly and helpful. We would probably go back there again.

Bed spread, sheets, pillow cases and towels were stained. Way over priced for the outdated motel. Oatmeal snack for breakfast. It would be my last choice but you will be able to get some sleep.

The room was gross, smelled of cigarettes and had no TP. We refused the room and were provided a different room. The second room was better. However, this room had an over powering air freshener smell that put our allergies in overdrive, the bathroom vent fan did not work and the bathroom floor was mildewed. Overall, this place sucked.

Our room was spacious, and beds were comfortable, but sheets and pillows were stained (ugh). Carpet was shredding at the edges. There was dirt in corners. Everything looked poorly maintained. We have given this place a try, but have no wish to stay here again. Definitely NOT worth $100/night fee.
