Don't recommend this place to stay.
Pros:

The television worked but no back on remote.

Cons:

Air conditioner did not work blow out warm air. Bathroom had Shit in toilet and dried up shit around the rim. No toilet paper in the room. I had to go get some from front office. Some man was standing outside as I was walking looking like he was on drugs. No safe at all. No holder for the toilet paper. Bathroom tub didn't look clean. Bathroom sink stopper was just laying on the counter and when I turn on the water in the sink and it was slow going out the drain. The television remote back was off. The blue blankets on the bed one had a burn hole in it. The white pillowcases or sheets didn't look clean. Gnats was flying around the light between the beds.Could not stay in the room. So, I asked to have my 100.00 deposit back. Which they did. They need to have cameras in all walk ways so the can see who has a room and who don't. So they can be escorted off the premises. The Housekeepers need to be retained on how to clean the room the right way. The Housekeepers Supervisor needs to go check to make sure they clean everything in the room. And spray, vacuum, with clean linens and new comforters for the beds. Next fix the heating units in all the rooms. You turn the air conditioner on high to cool the room and warm air comes out. The only thing I liked was the two big pictures on the wall. Management really need to take pride of their establishment. You would have people come over to your house when it's disgusting. So, why the place you own is nasty. You can do much better.

Pros:

The room seemed clean, as did the shower.

Cons:

When I entered the room, it smelled of cigarettes, it had a bad smell. The inside of the microwave was not clean. I felt uncomfortable because they put a yellow sheet on the bed. It's supposed to be white.

Pros:

It was ok the first night and never had to pay a $100 deposit. Second night I booked a room it was confirmed went to motel and a different woman was working and said I had to pay a$100 deposit with the regular rental price and said I didn't the night before and don't have the extra money so she wouldn't let me stay then said she didn't see where my room was reserved and paid for but only after I couldn't pay the deposit. My email confirmed my reservation and paid in full. So I asked to just give my money back and I ll go somewhere else. I still haven't been repaid

Cons:

I didn't like the employee who was working the second night I tried staying . Idk her name but she was pregnant and ignored me for an hour I stood there asking why it's been confirmed on my phone so why she doesn't see it and wouldn't even look at my phone. Instead she was worried about the people paying cash and her friend who was hanging out

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room was dirty. The bathroom, toilet,,bath was terrible ang ugly. The microwave was in the bathroom so this also disgusting. In the bad we find crumbs. The refrigerator was ugly, very, very dirty. I think nobody clean before all gest. Outside aren't any benches for sit and relax. We didn't have TV remote control.
You should check every room before every guest.

Pros:

I see they are in the process of renovating, but toilet that are rusty should be replaced. The toilet bowl was very rusted, and it gave a view of unclean, when it was really the rust in the bowl. I shared it with the front desk. The hotel has potential if brought up to par

Cons:

The carpet had noith marks of mud tracks, and the bed was ok, but i wound up putting personal towels and slept on that as it looked as one of the pillows was change but the rest was not. It was a quick run for ne and was late and with no other vacancies at the time I settled. As said, it needs a lot of tender care and could be a great venue as the location is on the main.

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Rooms were gross. Had roaches. Was so bad I had to get up and leave..On the way out the front desk clerk was outside and we stopped so I could tell her about the bugs.. I just wanted to make sure she knew and she tried to somehow start a physical fight with me. She started to come at my vehicle to fight me ..this is totally unacceptable.
