It's an old motel wich was painted on the outside for the looks. Lobby was redone but all the rest should have been changed. It looks awfull. I have been in much nicer Econo lodge.

Not really clean. Was a few pregnant roaches in my room and it just had a slightly moldy smell. Not well taken care of at all .but it was a place to sleep for a night.

Eh

The room was dirty. Dead insects by the window. Let’s not even talk about the smell of weed either. Rooms look nice but honestly not worth it.

In truth this place should be burned to the ground. Appears to have been neglected for decades. Checked in, got in room, checked back out never to return

Front desk staff was friendly. The property is run down, banged up doors, unrepaired holes in walls from old fixtures. On the positive side, everything worked. Decent sized mini fridge, tv, hair drier, iron and board. Liads if hot water. Fine if you are passing through and need an inexpensive place to sleep.

People slammed doors every 5 minutes, room smelled like smoke, front office wasn’t open and only had a window with a security camera to obtain room key. Didn’t feel like the safest area.

Pool was closed, vending machien was completly empty, gym was not 24 hours like advertised and got eaten up by something. Also on our second night there we got woken up by a crash in our room. And found that the headboard on the wall behind our heads had fallen down. Luckly it just slid down in between the bed and the wall.

Nice room for the most part, comfy bed, hot shower, friendly service. Woken up around 6:20 am to another customer trying to use her card key on my door and management assisting her. Not sure why the staff didn’t immediately recognize they had the wrong door. My room did show signs of water damage in the vicinity of the shower head and above the mirror over the sink. Also, the tab handle bar was missing, the drain stopper was sitting on the shower wall shelf, and both the entry and bathroom doors had been damaged at some point in the past. I took photos and shared with management, who looked surprised.

Never Again

I stayed in some bad hotels, but this takes the cake as the worst. The shower curtain was ripped, the shower wall had a giant crack, the ceiling in the bathroom had a crack, 2 walls definitely had water damage. The mattresses were old and a very springy and just very uncomfortable. The bedding had cigarette burns, 80% of the outlets didn’t work. Dried snot on the walls. It was a nonsmoking room, but smelled of smoke. Breakfast was advertised and pictured, and just wasn’t a thing. There was no phone in the room to call the front desk. Nothing was as advertised. I stayed in huts in Afghanistan that were cleaner and in better condition. The only “plus” was friendly service. Will never stay here again.

The hotel needs to get updated comforters and towels to match their updated rooms. The comforters are old and outdated and the towels were stained and couple had wholes in them.

The place wasn’t as clean and nice as the pictures on the website. It was only a two night stay but the hot water wasn’t working on the first day or night. Don’t like cold showers.
