Categories

Cleanliness
2
Multiple reviews cite roach in beds, hair on bathroom walls, mold/rust and general exterior neglect despite some guests noting clean linens; overall cleanliness is poor.
Service
8.5
Mixed but often positive: several guests praise manager Kristen and other staff for being gracious, responsive and even mailing a lost driver's license; however there are also reports of absent staff and unresponsive phone numbers.
Location
4.8
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Room Quality
3.5
Rooms are inconsistent: some revamped rooms are good, linens sometimes clean, but multiple reports of uncomfortable beds, very small bathrooms, and worn fixtures.
Amenities
3
Several guests reported no hot water, no internet/TV issues and other amenity failures; a few positives like breakfast were noted but amenities are unreliable.
Value for Money
3.5
Perceived as poor by many guests due to being charged without receiving expected service (reports of being unable to check in and having to rebook), though some felt accomodations and service were reasonable when staff were present.
Food and Beverage
7
Some guests mention complimentary breakfast (biscuits/gravy, bagels) and owners packing snacks for guests; food offerings are a clear positive in several reviews.
Overall Experience
6.1
Mixed overall: many reports of the property appearing abandoned, failed check-ins and safety/maintenance concerns, balanced by multiple accounts of exceptionally helpful staff and satisfactory stays for some guests.

Pros:

This hotel is not in operation. They're closed down and don't answer their phone. I called their parent company OYO and got exactly zero help. Hopefully this listing will be removed to avoid any confusion.

Pros:

There was no one there when we tried to check in. We called both numbers on the office door. No one responded. We had to drive 30 miles to find another hotel. Hotels.com kept me on hold for 30 minutes trying to reach them.

Pros:

SCAM - we arrvied at property at 9pm, no one was there. There was a ph# mentioned to call/text. We tried calling and text, no one answered. Finally got a reply back after fee hours stating he doesnt work there anymore. We had to book room last minute elsewhere and pay extra. Expedia/Hotel didnt refund me. Not sure how is that our fault or why Expedia wouldnt intervenes. It seems scam, that they didnt provide service but still charged us and expedia did nothing.

Pros:

Such a bad experience that we were supposed to stay for 3 nights. We stayed 1 night. When we checked in we were told there was no hot water and no internet. The property looks deserted. The bed was so uncomfortable no matter what position I laid it one body part was going to sleep. The bathroom was so small you had to walk in, and shut the door to get to the toilet. No counter in bathroom. There was hair on the walls of the bathroom. The linen was clean so that was a plus but overall I would not recommend this hotel- even if it did have hot water

Pros:

I left my driver's license at the property and the owner reached out through phone, text and email until he got a hold of me. With my flight coming up, he immediately mailed my license to my next destination and helped me avoid issues flying home. Would leave ten stars if I could!

Avoid! Should NOT be listed on Hotels.com
Pros:

The people who run this place are very friendly, helpful and working really hard. Unfortunately they are trying to put lipstick on a pig. The linens, appliances and floor were clean, the bed was comfortable. However the building is old and run down, full of rust and mold. The doors and locks don't work properly, etc etc. This place needs to be torn down. I don't understand how the health inspector allows it to continue. Once again, the management was great.

Unexpected visit well taken care of
Pros:

I went to the hotel on the early morning hours to stay and my request to stay for another night was approved. The manager of this hotel and his wife are very kind enough to offer any help in need. They treat us their family members. We enjoyed our stay there.
