Pros:

No towels in our room and we had to go back down the stairs and around to the office after we carried all of our stuff up to the 2nd floor. Then the front desk person didn't believe us and said there should be towels in our room. There was not, he finally gave us towels and a few Styrofoam cups to use for water.
Trash pickup on a Sunday at 5:30 in the morning.
Faucet in the bathroom dripped and toilet paper holder fell off the wall.
Only positive things
Beds were comfortable and air conditioner worked

Awful place
Pros:

Shockingly awful:
- check-in staff behind plexiglass
- one card to open door took many tries plus a shove to enter room
- awful room : stained furniture, broken toilet seat, no toilet paper rod and fixture pulled from the wall
- toilet leaking
- no cups, no coffee , no pool , no hair dryer, 1 towel per person, 3 pillows (1.5 pillows per person), adjoining door had no handle and hole was stuffed with toilet paper, and we woke to roaches crawling on the wall!!!!
Awful

Pros:

I don’t usually leave reviews but I needed to on this one because so many reviews are negative for this little motel! Please keep in mind that it’s a MOTEL! If you are expecting a swanky hotel, move on. This is a clean, affordable and convenient motel along the 127 yardsale route! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The area is safe and convenient. The rooms are clean, beds are comfy, and there are lots of close dining option. I have zero complaints to list!

Pros:

Our shower was wet, moldy shower curtain and rusted, no drain plug.There was a huge hole in the shower wall that someone had stuck toilet paper in , the entire bathroom smelled awful and the walls were like in process of being painted and had plaster everywhere. It was disgusting. We refused to stay and left.

Pros:

The only thing decent about our stay was the quick check-in because it was mainly on-line and the staff was nice enough. Other than that, the room was terrible, with fixtures misting or broken, the beds were horribly uncomfortable. I might as well have been sleeping on a futon mattress. And the shape of the building and facility itself was maybe a little better than shambles, with covered, non-functioning pool included.

Pros:

We do not have a TV, room is filthy, shower is covered in brown dirt at the bottom, only 2 towels for 4 people- lady at front desk refused to give more towels or her name and actually told us to “wrap up in the toilet paper.”

Pros:

Worse hotel ever - horrible customer service. Checked in to rm 228 a room with 2 beds for 4 guests. Walked in to 1 towel for 4 of us and stained wash cloth. Spider crawling in the bath tub spout. 8 extra rolls of toilet paper but not enough towels for all guests. Upon asking front desk for towels we were refused towels because our friends staying in room 226 also with 4 guests got the extra towels so we couldn't get any. She said if you want towels go in the laundry rm and wash the towels and take them. Front desk was a horribly rude lady who said take the toilet paper rolls and roll yourself in it and accused us of lying about having not enough towels in the room. We even told her to come check out rm but she never bothered. Said to go call Expedia and tell them and check out since we paid a cheap low discounted rate. Wash cloth has a dirty black stain and looked like it was not washed. Toilet has a stain in it like it was not washed. Room key stopped working around 12 am and went back down to her to get the key fixed and she was rude. Asked her for a list of amenities the room should have and she said i don't know, then asked her name and she said i don't know and she walked away. Rude person with no communication skills and should be fired. Don't stay here - take your business somewhere else!
There is no way these nasty rooms could pass any kind of inspection.

Drug area, use extreme caution
Pros:

There were addicts all over the property. One couldn’t even stand up. Some rooms are remodeled and may be the ones in the pictures but ours was not. I won’t stay here again.

Pros:

They lied in there advertising 1 their pool is not done. 2 there is NO Breakfast the room for it looked to have furniture in it but she said we don't have that. 3 the lighting in the room sucks at the sink the light there is so dark even if you turn the light on were the toilet and shower are it's not any better.4 You have 4 channels on the TV. 5 You try to use the plugins and there loose and when you turn the lights off if you have something plugged in it turns it off so if your charging your phone while you're sleeping it's not charging. 6 They don't have coffee not in the lobby or in the rooms.

Pros:

The customer service was amazing. No one bothered us and the place at night was so qell litt that the comfort of safety was high. Nothing in our room was ever touched or moved and my only complaint would be that ants were in the bathroom.
