None of the ice machines had ice. There were 3 different machines and at least one should have been working. The staff did provide us with ice from the office. It was clean but I did see a few cockroaches.
Had roaches and mold. The property was old and outdated with some cosmetic upgrades.. it’s like putting lipstick on a pig. I would not stay there again.

It’s needs a complete remodel. The bath tub felt like it would cave in. The bath vent sounded like a Harley motorcycle and it did not work. Room smelled of mildew.
Glad it was just a quick over night stay.

This motel ( not hotel ) was listed as having an exercise room and laundry use ( wash/dry ), it had neither. Very disappointing, very deceived !
The room was very clean. The elevator didn’t work and I was on the third floor. The young man at the desk did help get our suitcase up the stairs, but there was a dog in the room next door that whimpered all night. The man a the front desk was helpful in getting my clothes washed. Over all I would stay there again.
Elevator doesn't work. Cockroaches in the room. Bedding wasn't washed. Didn't get any new towels. Only thing good about that place was it was right next to a bagel and coffee joint
I literally killed a dozen roaches in my room. The water was luke warm at best on max for my shower. The Trim in the room was falling off. The room had a weird musty smell to it. The HVAC unit for the room produced a nasty smell as well and set off the smoke alarm in my room the first time i turned it on. You could also tell on some of the rooms that they had been broken into/attempted to be broken into.
