Categories

Cleanliness
2.5
Very poor — multiple reports of visible dirt, stained walls/grout, musty odors, and even debris (reports of pubic hair in the pool).
Service
9.5
Mixed but often positive — some guests called staff friendly and helpful, though there are reports of inconsistent responses (front desk gave a 'blank stare' when issues were reported and housekeeping restocking was inconsistent).
Location
9
Strong — several guests noted the convenient location (right off the highway) and listed location as a pro.
Room Quality
3
Below average — rooms described as dated, stained, with damaged fixtures (peeling grout/ceiling stains), curtains hanging, occasional flooding in bathrooms.
Amenities
3
Poor reliability — pool/whirlpool repeatedly reported as broken or dirty; advertised breakfast often limited to coffee only.
Value for Money
8
Mixed-positive on price — several guests found the rate reasonable or decently priced, but value is undermined by cleanliness and service/charge issues (one guest paid despite not staying).
Food and Beverage
4
Disappointing — breakfast advertised but in many cases only a coffee pot was available; no proper breakfast offering reported.
Overall Experience
5.8
Overall below average — convenience and occasional friendly staff are positives, but pervasive cleanliness, maintenance, safety, and amenity issues create a largely negative stay.

Okay
Pros:

The room.

Cons:

Put us on the clean end of the hotel but yet you could tell it was dirty on the other half of the hotel. I went swimming and could see pubes floating on the water.

It was a place to stay when I needed it, due to family being in the hospital.
Pros:

The staff was friendly. The hotel was right off of the highway.

Cons:

Booked for my wife. She said :
The property including parking lot, was very dumpy. The hallways smelled musty. The room was dated, stained & dirty walls, grout and corners of the bathroom were very dirty and coming apart. Ceiling had staining. The blow dryer didn't work very well.
I had to book it again after the initial checkout, due to family being in the hospital. I actually was put in the same room. The bathroom was not restocked the same. I didn't need it all, but compared to the first night, the second night didnt have towels and wash clothes, and soaps were not restocked. Just dirties were removed.
Breakfast was advertised, but turned out it was just a coffee pot in the lobby. The sign in the parking lot even had breakfast listed.

This isn't the hotels fault, but I could hear the guests in rooms around me, at all hours of the night.

Horrible
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The dead bolt was broken, so safety was an issue. The phone didn’t not work. We paid for the whirlpool tub and the jets were broken. I told the front desk employee and pretty much got a blank stare from them. The cleanliness of the place had a lot to be desired.

It was alright, we didnt die, wont be going back.
Pros:

It was decently priced

Cons:

The bathroom flooded when we tried to use the shower and they were doing some kind of construction or something until like 2am every night on the floor above us which made it really difficult to sleep.

never stayed because it was so bad. please give out money back. had already asked but didn't get it.
Pros:

nothing. it's horrible. gross. didn't end up staying here and still had to pay. stayed at a different hotel so got screwed out of $252 dollars. handed in the keys at 6 pm , so the motel probably rented those rooms again.

Cons:

there were vagrants hanging out in the parking lot probably living at the motel, garbage everywhere, the curtains were hanging off the walls. room was dirty. had nightmares about thinking about staying here. felt like someone would probably smash the windows in my car and steal everything.

When heartless city slickers come take over rural American businesses
Pros:

Very sweet lady that worked there, the only reason this review isn't being blown up way more.

Cons:

I typically have my travel ratings through Google under [email protected] or [email protected], where you can always find up to date content in regards to shopping, hotels and sometimes horrible people, like what I found here. My sister passed a few days ago so we rented a car 2 hours away from home, my own car broke down and then the rental place wouldn't let me receive the vehicle due to no major credit card, even though paid for. So now I can't get out of state, my cars broke, I had to ask my ex to take my kids for night and now im stuck. Got a room here because they have a hot tub and my world was falling a part. After paying, find out the hot tub and pool are down and wouldn't be up for at least 24 hours. Ok so I ask for a refund, they wont. Ok make best of it, ice machine is out and the AC wont work in the room or so much as a coffee pot. So I ask if there's ANY way we could receive a discount (I can't begin to list all of the complaints I have here) I would have been happy with even a small discount but nope. The new owner dont care about people, humanity or obviously the community. Please do not line this ignorant (my perspectives) persons pockets. I will feature more information about this property, stay tuned to my youtube and TikTok streams for more travel advice.

Good location on a budget. Not much more.
Pros:

Price and location, essentially.

Cons:

Beds were on wheels, so moved around a lot. Mattresses were like black holes. No ice machine on property (“parts on order from the distributor”. Yeah, right. No breakfast (not even continental. Just coffee out of an urn). Had to wave away questions from daughter about smell of marijuana in the air.
