The stay was very accommodating, friendly, and happy. The motel was average, but appropriate for the price. It needs a good deep-cleaning, especially where the baseboard joins the floor. The pool was empty, and there was green, thick water in the hot tub.

This property (unknowingly) was under major renovation. construction was ongoing, our room (when assigned) was still dirty, unsecure and the window was broken, open & unable to close. We LEFT without staying, yet they still refused to refund our payment. Finally after MANY phone calls they refunded HALF of it.....pitiful.

Avoid at all costs

The hotel is old and run down. But even run down can be kept clean. Carpet in the room was worn and stained. My wife opened a large towel after she showered and it was stained. House keeping was non existent. The day manager was asleep in the office several times On Hotels.com it advertised breakfast included. It was not unless a cup of coffee is considered a breakfast. Thanks to Hotels.com for helping us cancel the remainder of our reservation there and providing a credit as an apology

Lumpy, saggy mattress. A stray sock from the previous guest. A dim lobby. Trash and filth left in the hallway from construction crew doing renovations. A broken chair. No Kleenex (!!!). Not much to love here.
