Pros:

The staff were friendly and helped us with any needs. The room was clean. Easy access for walking pets.

Cons:

The shower drained very slow so you were standing in ankle deep water while showering. The laminate flooring had gaps.

It’s good
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room I stayed in smelled of cigarettes, even though there were "no smoking" signs. I don't know why, but it reeked of smoke.

Who are they giving key cards to your room?
Cons:

At about 2 pm a "staff" member used a key card and entered my room when I was undressed. There was no reason for the room to be cleaned, because I checked into the room earlier that day and it was already cleaned. Later in the evening it sounded like someone tried to enter the room again, but at this point in time I had the deadbolt engaged.

okay
Pros:

i liked the color and setup of the rooms.

Cons:

the power went out as soon as we arrived in our rooms so it was pretty much a waste of money.

Think Again!!
Pros:

The room was dirty. The tub backed up while showering. The sink.backed up while brushing my teeth. The phine didn't work. The neighbor woke me up yelling im her room. The other occupants were shady. I highly discourage making accommodations at this location.

Pros:

I guess it is what you expect from a motel. Non-smoking rooms had a faint stale odor probably attributable to all the people hanging out outside smoking. The bed was okay. The room was clean - but showing age. The a/c turned off and on all night. The walls were paper thin. The people at the office were very nice.

Pros:

Everything seemed to be ok with the room. It’s not the Hilton, if that’s what you’re looking for. The property itself was a bit sketchy. Upon arrival there were men hanging around outside and being loud, was told police patrolled the area periodically. You get what you pay for…we started our vacation early, so we came into town late and just needed somewhere to rest until we could check into our Airbnb the next day.
