Stay Away!

Building is old and way run down. The only thing updated was the office which is where the pictures were taken. There was big pieces of the building hanging down from lack of Maintance. There were drugs being passed around the parking lot! Not a family friendly place! Pool was drained also! This was all before getting into the room. Once we got into the room the sheets had some sort of bodily fluid stains all over the sheets! Good luck is all I can say!

There was nothing good about this motel. The toilet seat was visibly dirty along with the toilet seat lid, the bathroom sink was dirty and there was paper still on the floor. The outside banister leading to the second floor was loose. There was no microwave, refrigerator or coffee. I actual felt unsafe there because of the people roaming around. Please take them off of your list of motels. I don't want anyone to experience what we had to experience.

The property was totally run down and extremely uninviting. Prostitutes and dangerous individuals lined the rooms and parking lot. The premises smelled of urine and alcohol.

I asked for a non smoking room and the room smelled like smoke so much. The smoke alarm had a small towel over it so it wouldn’t go off. You get what you pay for.

Not a clean place. Beer bottles and whiskey bottle thrown in the grass around the perimiter of the building. Rooms need updated. Room smelled like cigarettes, even though it was a non-smoking room. Just not a nice place.

Pros: Guy that works there brought me up a refrigerator and microwave upon request. Also asked on another day if I needed anything Cons: Ended up having to change rooms at check in due to there being a huge hole in the ceiling, reeking of cigarette smoke (non smoke room) also only one light working. Second room I was in reeked of cigarettes(non smoking room), had ripped curtains, filthy carpets, red splatter on chair, dirty sheets on one of the beds and a light fixture dangling from ceiling. Bathtub was dirty so I did bird baths, brown liquid also came out with the water from the bathtub on my last stay there. One day the outlets worked and the next day they didn’t. I was desperate for a place to stay so I did what I had to do. However, I would not recommend this place unless it’s for one night and you’re in desperate need. I believe the whole place needs renovation, carpets pulled, bathtubs pulled and new appliances and bedding. Also if it’s non smoking remind guests not to smoke. No amount of air fresheners or Lysol spray I bought helped the smell. For a place to lay your head , it works !

Well starting out this hotel is BASIC BASIC! It doesn’t even qualify to be Great Value at Walmart. The smoking room that I originally booked did not even come with an ashtray. I had to go and purchase one from the smoke shop three blocks over. The carpet was extremely dirty. I had to wear my shoes/socks for the entire night. A lot of the fixtures for the lights or the towel racks in the bathroom were and/or missing. The thing that completely disgusted me was not only how dirty the toilet was but the fact that the toilet seat was broken off, placed on the floor next to the toilet and I am not sure if that was dirt or feces caked into hinges. (Either way I still went to the Rite Aid on State Street to buy some bathroom cleaner.) As I mentioned earlier the room was extremely below basic. Although some things in the room were a bit old-fashioned and dated the room just felt dirty. I not only will never stay there again but I would not recommend this hotel for anyone. In my opinion, they should improve it or sell it to someone who can! It is truly a waste of a business and property.

When we got there the man at the front desk wanted 50.00 extra for a security deposit, not mentioned on the site, I did get my deposit back after 30 hours. The check out time is way wrong from the web site, 3PM vs 11AM. The pool hasn't had water in it in years. The parking lot was dirty, trash everywhere. When I first walked into the room I was greeted with a spider web in the face, also found other spider webs in the arches. Our floor was sticky, so I called the front desk and was told "What do you want me to do about it?" I said "mop it" The first night the music started about 8 PM and didn't stop till almost dawn. Car came all night long for 10 min visits to various rooms with the music blasting. The second time was much about the same with the music except this time the police and ambulance came, (I don't know for sure), but we are guessing drug overdose. When I packing to leave, I found part of hypo needle next to my vehicles door, which I thought was odd, because the reviews said the hypo needles were in the flower beds, not the parking lot. I read the reviews afterwards, that's how I found out about the pool never having water. If anyone reads this don't stay there if you want sleep the music came from a room across the parking lot and people were dancing in the parking lot till the police came. The outside everywhere needs maintenance bad.

Parking lot is a disaster. The people who come here are a disaster. The check-in process was a disaster..I was not handing a random man my phone through the hole of the window. Room lights were on and the air was off when we came in. The room smells like musty cigarette smoke. Floor is so sticky. Room key did not work at first, had to go get a new one.

hmmm

noisy dirty run down motel, convenient location but I can't say I would recommend it, maybe for $50 but not for $110 online or $90 walk-in... the front desk clerk was rather nice but not very helpful... rooms desperately need updates, mine was rather clean and had microwave/fridge/tv/ac, but no security chain on the door anymore, no in room coffee machine (and none in the lobby/no breakfast either because of covid)... parking lot was littered with empty cans and trash, hard to park with crushing something
