Passable

Convenient but not fun timing of road work being done

Price was what was advertised. Friendly, helpful staff. However, I reserved a queen bed but was put in a room with 2 double beds instead. Also, pretty funny that they have the mini fridge & microwave propped up on a stool in the en suite of the bathroom.

Ironically, it was on a street that was having night time road repaving done. No warning at all that this would be happening so I was very unpleasantly surprised that the street was blocked off when I returned from a show. Feel price could have been reduced for the inconvenience. I had to go around a back street & then maneuver my car through the large trucks to get into the parking lot. Not very thoughtful of tourists considering there were 3 motels all on this same street. Plus, trying to sleep with loud beeping from the trucks & construction. I had to turn on the heater/air to drown out the noise.

Disappointing

Cheap room if you can tolerate the smell of cleaning chemicals.

The room was basically clean. Price was the only reason I stayed here, but it was still overpriced considering the age of the furnishings and spartan amenities.

Very overwhelming smell of cleaning chemicals, especially when I turned on the heater. The pillows where very flimsy. I almost checked out after the first night because of the smell until I figured out it was less noxious if I left the heater off.

Clean, quiet, convenient location. Friendly staff.

Clean, very friendly staff, convenient location.

Parking near rooms is very limited, bedding is crunchy sounding and Dan was squeaky, so we didnt sleep super well. Shower also made a high pitch tone.

Bad

It was definitely a bad experience.

N/a

The staff was very rude, and not helpful at all. I got to the property to check in and the staff told me he had not seen my reservation? And it wasnt until the next day, thats when I got confused checked my reservation and showed him it was for that day! He then lied and said oh you called to change your reservation for November, which was bs because Ive never called, and only time I ever messaged the property was when they let me know they would take payment at the property. I was so upset, and in disbelief but I needed a place to stay so I still asked him if he had any available rooms where I can stay in, he said no. This person was so rude, and did not care at all.
