Worrse place I stayed ever in 48years of my life. I need a free place in place of this issue cause n
Pros:

Not a dam thing, the whole hotel was under construction and this website nor there page said a word about it. The paint on the walls was coming off, the curtains had wholes in it, they said they had belcanys he'll no the did one step out the door say good bye to your life straight down fall and the windows was nasty as hell, dusty everywhere, stains on the bed rugs are loose I fall three times, the elevators made me fell like I was in a jail house or mental ward cause they had paint all over them rug loose and padded walls. I wish I could get my money back or the web site give me a good room some place nice fir the cost I had to pay for this junkie hell whole. I reckoned mend noone to stay here ever. O and they took there pool out filled it in with concrete and don't have no breakfast bar or restaurant here either now. I'm 48 years old I have stayed alot if places but here I would so he'll no don't do it ever. I want my money back have pictures to prove my case to.

Cons:

All of it terrible place to stay I want my money back. Not a dam thing, the whole hotel was under construction and this website nor there page said a word about it. Place made me frell like i was in prison on the elvators or menral ward. The paint on the walls was coming off, the curtains had wholes in it, they said they had belcanys he'll no the did one step out the door say good bye to your life straight down fall and the windows was nasty as hell, dusty everywhere, stains on the bed rugs are loose I fall three times, the elevators made me fell like I was in a jail house or mental ward cause they had paint all over them rug loose and padded walls.

Glad it was only a quick overnight.
Pros:

The location was convenient to the highway and to dining options.

Cons:

The hotel was about to undergo renovations. When we arrived, we were told the jackhammers "probably would not start before 8:00." The blackout curtains in the room were so threadbare that I used pants hangers to close the gaps. We absolutely would have chosen another hotel, if we had been made aware of this situation.
When Holiday in sent me a disingenuous survey about our stay, I gave the same report. The response was that they would let their staff know so that they could improve. (The two staff members we encountered were clearly trying to do their best with a hopeless situation, so I hope they have told corporate to stuff it.)

Pros:

It was under construction. The pool area was being removed. Dust in the air from sanding plaster. Paint smell. Not worth 1/2 of what I paid.

Find a room anywhere else.
Pros:

Every employee we interacted with was excellent, but that’s where the positives end. The room was run down, fairly clean minus the fish hook my husband almost stepped on. The hot and cold water would change on its own. The rest of the hotel is absolutely terrible. Nothing on here told us the hotel was under a poorly managed renovation.

Our stay was not a pleasant one; motel should be closed for complete renovation.
Pros:

Friendly staff, OK price

Cons:

A 1970’s relic undergoing needed refurbishing, which I didn’t know when I booked. Cracked sink, dirty windows, sticky door handle. Construction workers entered our locked room twice while my wife was dressing.

Pros:

The property was fairly run down and lots of areas were in need of maintenance. My room had not been vacuumed when I arrived in the room. I found hair and a nail clipping on the carpet. Staff was friendly but I was very disappointed with the overall condition of the hotel and room.

Pros:

Didn’t know I was staying at a rest stop motel. Hotel is under renovation which wasn’t advertised upon booking. It looks abandoned from the outside. The rooms need help, and not up to par to rent out to folks paying rent the kind of money they’re asking for. Will not be staying here in the near future.

Pros:

The lobby of the hotel was nice and clean, but the elevator and surrounding areas were very dirty and needed vacuumed. The elevator was super sketchy and I ended up walking down 4 flights of stairs.The room itself was very clean and was as advertised.
