Room had 3 live roaches in the bathroom.

Unfortunately, even though the gentleman at the front desk was polite, the check-in experience was terrible. The system was not working and he had to get the manager. They finally got me checked in and asked me to sign a receipt, for $80 even though I showed that I had pre-paid for the stay online and was able to use a credit and only paid sixty-something. They said that the receipt was for Hotels.com and not another charge. As it was late and I was tired, I signed. Shortly after getting to my room, I went to the bath room and found three live cockroaches walking around the bathroom sink and shower. I immediately killed them, then proceeded to pack my bags and check-out. I'm not pretentious at all and understand that motels are usually cheaper for a reason. But, I draw the line at having live roaches in the room.
Small dead roach that I killed with the soap bar
Larger dead roach that I killed on the shower wall

Jacuzzi needs jet repair. NO COFFEE in the office or in the room is a bit sad. Sidewalks around the motel need repair for safety. Thanks.

The overall experience wasn’t bad. Staff was very friendly. But the website advertised they had vending machines, they actually do not. The lights in the room barely worked. Tv reception sucked. Our tv went out in us many times. The WiFi was non existent.

Thankfully no bed bugs. Initial room light wasn't working, but the lamps were bright enough. Also the shower was set to full burst, so it was uncomfortable to shower sensitive areas.

No laundry and no service but lots of dust

I chose this hotel as I needed to do my laundry and it listed laundry but alas no. The guy on reception didn't give two hoots that I had a load of clothes that needed washing. Then there was the room. Dusty. When u turned on the heater it blew a cloud of dust up into the air. Obviously hadnt been cleaned in a while. Thin walls. Not happy

Let me say, you get what you pay for. The room appears clean smelled horrible had to go up and get odium and freshener, smelled like a cat lady lived here for years. Cigarette burns in the bedspread. Gave me a room as far away from my car as possible and during a snow storm. Wind kept blowing the door had to use chair to keep it from shifting had to put one of the towels to block the wind on the floor.
