Wonderful front desk ladies! I would stay here again.
Pros:

Darla and Jessica were amazing during check-in and check out. They are very kind and took care of my room issue quickly.

Cons:

The fridgerator in the room still had food in it from the last traveler. After finding this I called the front desk and gave the rest of the room an inspection. I pulled back the covers on the bed, it was clean. All the towels were clean and hair-free. The walls near the sink could use a wipe down. Darla sent a housekeeper right away to tend to the fridge. We were offered to change rooms but since we had already settled in and the rest of the room was clean, we stayed.

I enjoy staying there. It was very convenient because of my pets.
Pros:

I’d like that my room was right by the doggie area outside where I could walk my dogs before I went to bed and in the morning when I got up and before I left very convenient for me and my pets

Cons:

I’d liked everything

Disappointed
Pros:

Just your average motel

Cons:

No one available at front desk when I arrived. Tried calling the hotel and no answer. Left after 20 minutes and came back a half an hour later . Finally got checked in. Went to room to find smoke alarm chirping. Tried to call front desk but phones don’t work. Tried calling on my phone and no one answered. Went to office and woman at desk wanted to know why I pounded on the counter on previous visit and I explained I was trying to get someone’s attention. No maintenance people available so she had to change the battery. I assume no one was at the front desk while she was doing this.
