This room was to much for what you got but we didn’t have much of a choice. Room had an old smoke smell upon arrival. They are in desperate need of new beds. When my spouse or I would roll over you can hear the springs in the bed squeezing and making noise. There were holes in the walls where something once hung. The AC was loud. If you have a choice I’d pick somewhere else to stay. Would not stay here again.

Never again
Not a clean environment. Toilet broken, tv not working correctly. Room supposed to be non smoking but it smells like cigs.
Neighbors next door throwing party and phone doesn’t even work to call front desk

Please give me a refund so I can redo my vacation!
The room we had was not properly cleaned. It smelled like pee from the time we walked in. I literally used an entire can of Lysol to spray the bathroom down , the bed and sheets as well as the single lounge chair that was available. It looked as if someone wasted an entire can of soda pop in it and let it air dry. The door that corrects to the adjacent room had been unlocked so I had to re lock iand the guest in that room had kids so we heard EVERY WORD they said to each other ALL NIGHT Long!! This was probably the WORST overnight stay I have ever experienced and I’m 52 years old and have traveled to South Africa, Dubai, Jamaica and MANY locations state side! This was the worst and at over $360 for the night the MOST EXPENSIVE.!!

This motel was pretty sub-standard and the beds in the room was not that comfortable. The breakfast options the motel offered was pretty substandard and could be improved.

This establishment is old and decrepit. While I don’t expect a five star stay at a roadside motel, for $135 I would hope that I would have clean sheets, at least. Found what looked to be a blood stain of some sort on the sheet on one of the beds. I needed the room for one night only, and couldn’t get out of there fast enough!!
