Categories

Cleanliness
2.5
Multiple reviewers reported severe cleanliness issues: cockroaches/bugs, hair in sheets, dirty towels and rooms that appeared not cleaned. Overall clearly poor hygiene.
Service
8
Mixed reports: several guests called out friendly/helpful staff and a helpful manager, while others reported rude personnel and problems with deposits and policy enforcement. On balance staff interactions were serviceable but inconsistent.
Location
9.5
Multiple positive mentions: 'Close to everything', 'easy to find' and convenient to local venues. Location is a consistent strength for this property.
Room Quality
4
Rooms described as shabby/old with problems: TVs or lamps not working, flat/hard pillows, screen door issues, and general wear. Some showers were recently redone and clean, but overall room quality is below average.
Amenities
7
Limited amenities overall (no extras), but many rooms had a fridge, microwave and working A/C. Coffee service was unreliable and no full-service amenities offered.
Value for Money
7.2
Several guests noted the low price and that you 'get what you pay for'; one guest called it a ripoff due to a withheld deposit. Overall perceived as budget value for short stays with caveats.
Food and Beverage
3.5
Complimentary coffee was reportedly unavailable during a stay and food/beverage options are minimal or non-existent. This area is a weakness.
Overall Experience
7.1
Very mixed experiences: some guests loved the peaceful, clean-feeling stay and would return, while many reported serious issues (bugs, cleanliness, noisy incidents). Overall acceptable for short, budget stays if location is the priority.

Price was right
Pros:

I have to say the price was right for an overnight stay. But kinda of a dive. Bedding was clean. Pillows flat and hard. The shower was recently redone and clean. Manager was very friendly and helpful.

Pros:

We had no hot water when needed. After 1/2 hour of calling back and forth with front desk and maintenance, it was determined that the hot and cold water lines were installed in reverse and never were properly re-installed/repaired. We were not advised of this at check in. If we were, we'd have requested another room. Then, when going down for coffee, there was none! Not in dining area or at the complimentary area. We had to go down twice, before we could get only one cup each. Not good! Our stay was not a god one. You asked and we want to be honest, with our answers. Again, we were not happy staying at this location. We feel that we deserve and should have our room cost refunded. Please feel free to contact us anytime. Don & Sue

RIPOFF
Pros:

The owner of the hotel charged me a $20.00 deposit. When I checked out, I did not get my deposit back. The room key was returned when I left and there was no damage or anything removed from the room.

Pros:

The property is a no-thrills older motel. You get what you pay for so don’t go expecting a chain hotel. No ammenities but the room was decently clean and had a fridge, microwave and working a/c. Our tv nor lamp worked, I assume the remote needed new batteries. I wouldn’t want to stay for a long visit but for one night it was fine.

Pros:

Rated 3.5 stars, this hotel is a crack den, its filthy, there were cockroaches all over, hair in the dirty bed sheets, & it hadnt even been cleaned, I was hoping just the lobby smelled bad, but it was the room too, we walked in & walked back out it was so bad

Pros:

Strike 1 - dirty towel on back on bathroom door. Thankfully housekeeping took care of it almost immediately.
Strike 2 - tv on/off and sound didn’t work from the remote. They were waiting on Spectrum to fix it
Strike 3 - bugs! Not the first night tho - room was clean. Woke up to 5 bugs in the bathroom and another two in the bedroom. They looked like black giant ticks!
The room looked old and not really kept up, although it was clean.
Checked out a day early, check out shorted me approximately $20 something due to my rate was based on a 2 night stay. I didn’t argue, was too anxious to get out of there.
Additionally I found out from local relation that this place is use as a rehab/halfway house. Wondering if that’s why owners haven’t updated much.
I strongly do NOT recommend this place

Pros:

Absolutely loved my stay at this local hotel! It was incredibly peaceful—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The rooms were spotless and so cozy, and the entire place had a charming, welcoming vibe. The staff were all genuinely kind and helpful, making me feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back every time I’m in town!

Good place to sleep
Pros:

The room was small, but clean. The room had been updated with new flooring and shower. A/C sounded like a jet engine everytime in kicked on. The property itself was old and a little "sketchy"

People in room next door were yelling, screaming and banging, I was almost tempted to call the police

Even with all that it served its purpose, a place to sleep for the night

Pros:

I was thankful to find a reasonable price but my experience was not god because the key could not open the door. The tv did not work. No hot water and the room smelled like cigarettes smoke and had to open a window for fresh air. The only thing that mds my stay tolerable was the cleaning lady a few doors down. I even bought pepper spray because of the door.
