This hotel would only be good for a one night stay to get some sleep. The rooms do not have a closet, so not good for families vacation, or long term. The entrance is dangerously off of the main road, so you have to make sure you're not coming upto it at a speed above 25mph, and you're mindful of vehicles around you. Checkin appeared to be strictly at 3pm, but a charge for early Checkin ... AND ... although Checkout is at 11am, the Cleaning was knocking at my door at 10:45am and then opened the door while I was washing up in the bathroom. There's plenty of parking on either side of the hotel, but personally, I kept checking on my car through my window, because some of the guest I saw around the hotel looked suspect. It looks like the owners tried to make the place look appealing, and the bathroom in my room had a pretty cool walkin shower, but nothing else impressed me. This is a one night, get a few hours of sleep type motel (not hotel).

Good Stay - Entrance to parking lot is a bit tricky but overall a great place to spend a day or two.

For starters, be prepared to pass it a couple of times since it's location is dangerously right after an underpass that also curves. So some people might not see that you are stopped and ready to turn into the hotel when they zoom around that corner. Be warned. No dining. No breakfast. Towels AND bed had stains on them as if they had not ever been washed. Iron your clothes before booking here if I didn't scare you yet for there is no ironing board. No lockbox to store valuables. The place seems to be a beacon for drunk people at night that no one does anything about. I did love that there were vending machines until I found out I was having stomach problems because half of the drink and food items were expired. By MONTHS. The wifi is absolutely awful slow and don't bother watching any TV because you have no channels. Wasted money on expensive TV's but they didn't install cable. Was going to drink a cup of water from the sink since none of the vending machines had any water. Do not drink from the faucet. Little white floaty things are in it and it will SHRED your stomach. I only drank it because your body naturally needs water and it was the only thing available. Never again. Air-conditioning and heater works like a charm. The hot water takes a second but when it kicks in it's awesome. The bed is surprisingly comfortable like a temperpedic bed you'll sink into it. I chose this place for my new years vacation and it was overpriced considering all of the things it was missing.

The staff was nice and polite and it was an easy check in process. However the room was a different story. Not only was our room dirty and had previous customers trash there, it was clear all the cleaning staff did was change the sheets/all linen and did nothing else but maybe wipe with a Lysol wipe. The room had gunk and hair on the floors, the bathroom had no shower curtain and the water pressure was terrible. Because of no shower curtain the water just how everywhere and soaked the place. The bathroom has hair on the floor and rust on the pipes. The fridge had the previous customers WENDYS CUP INSIDE. No one even looked in the fridge to clean it. The walls of the bathroom had handprint and the walls in the bedroom was dirty and had stains. But my main things was the floor and shower. The floor was so bad I didn’t take off my shoes. Overall I don’t think it’s the owner fault. He was very nice and polite the whole time and where he was it was spotless and clean. However the cleaning people don’t seem to care at all. I suggest he really crack down and do room checks to be sure they are doing there job at all. It would be a great property with potential with the cleaning staff just did they JOB!

It was an okay stay. The price of the room was really good. The main issue was the plumbing in the bathroom made constantly ran all nite. Other than that it was an okay stay.

Very Nice Updates ; Got a Good Nights Rest. Highly Recommended ; Will Stay Again.

The room was extremely dirty , my sister’s room has roaches on the dresser. The outside of the place looks pretty but inside of the room is really bad.

A gang of black men hanging around the entrance of the parking lot..... wish really scared me. Front glass very dirty Room very dirty My husband and I did not stay there because of those reasons.

The Shower curtains did not work stay against the wall so water was splashing onto the floor often. There was no way I could see to stop it. Also the lighting in the room was very bright and harsh for each wall sconce. Other than that my dtay was very good
