The clerk checking me in was on her phone. She was rude and was annoyed that she had to check myself and others in. She tossed the hotel card after I signed everything and walked away.
The room was awful. Cigarette burns all over the bathtub, dirty towels and sheets. $110 for that?!

This was not a family type vacation. I came to fish and wanted a nice clean place to clean up and sleep. The room was clean the water was hot. The manager was very nice and helpful. He keeps a close eye on the place and really wants you to enjoy your stay. I would stay there again.

Nice simple place
Nice place to spend the night and plenty of parking. I had to transport a Mack box truck and had no issues finding parking here. My only complaint was that the heater did not work in the room so I was freezing but I just needed to spend the night.

This property is a joke. It has burn holes in the comforter and nasty sheets on the bed.

The bathroom was hideous, at least could replace the toilet seats. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable the covers and pillows were dirty and the mattresses looked very old and in poor condition.

Ok stay
It was an ok place. We didn't spend much time there. The coffee maker was already full with water so I emptied it. Had bugs. Needless to say It was not used. Asked for clean towels, he took ours washed them and brought them back. It was a little odd since most places just give u new ones. Overall it wasn't that bd

There is NO restaurant on the property as stated in the description of the motel. It is an older motel that has had some renovation. The room was clean but the bed was a little soft for us. Otherwise, the room was fine and quiet. Location is about 7 miles from Milton so the only businesses close-by are gas stations and a Waffle House.

Never Again
Walked in the room and was overwhelmed by weed smoke as if someone just left the room. The couch and bed were both dilapidated. I do understand it’s a business but this establishment should be paying customers to stay in these horrendous conditions.

Sat on the toilet and realized it’s not attached to the floor
Lamp was broke
Refrigerator is leaning to the right
The bed was not neatly made
I payed for the room non refundable I’m debating if I’m going to drive home tonight instead of sleeping in the room
Very discounted

Find somewhere else for your money
Air conditioning barely works, we had to move rooms. I don’t know if it’s their attempt to save money, but we walked into a room that was probably 85 degrees, air was off. Turned it on and barely worked. We had to drive to dollar general to get a fan just to be somewhat comfortable. Men outside blaring music. There was a needle beside the bed. Will never stay again.

Room was filthy, carpets are stained, bed covers were stained and had burn marks on them. The room smelled like someone was growing a marijuana farm in it or the the rooms on both sides. Fortunately we only needed a place to sleep before heading back home. The website was very misleading and the rate was way more than anyone should have to pay for the condition of that room. You couldn’t pay me any amount of money to stay there again.

24 hour restaurant was closed weeks before, why I choose the place. No breakfast or anything. Room was horrible, place was not very clean. Lamp did not work among other things. Room next to us must of been booked by drug dealers, door closed and opened at least 200 times in a 4 hour period.
As for others staying there, was no more than 4-5 other vehicles in parking lot for the night.

Disgusted
After getting there and looking at the room and seeing the filth and the condition that the room was in, I was showed four other rooms, and everyone of them was in the same kind of condition. There was giant stains on the carpet, stains on the bedspreads patches in the walls that was not painted, mold on the doors and ceilings. Bathroom sinks were busted Toilets had the wrong lids on them and the bathtub in one of the rooms looked like it had blood on it. I would highly recommend not to book a room at this place.

Awful service
The front desk guy woke us up at 1 am to ask why there was a duplicate registration for us in the system. When I was upset that he had woken us for something so small, I expressed how frustrated I was. Both that night and the following morning I asked him to not come wake us that late unless it was an emergency. He tried to say we hadn’t been there earlier (we actually got back to our room at 8pm which is pretty early!) and then that it wasn’t a big deal. I am
Not sure if he just didn’t care or if he literally didn’t understand why waking someone at that hour would be an issue at all
