Check in was friendly and efficient. I had a small trailer and they were happy to provide additional parking for me. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable.

Room had lots of updates despite being an older building. Staff called me the day of my reservation to confirm what time we planned on checking in. There is lots of highway noise, but turning on the fan helped drown it out. The bathroom did not have an exhaust fan which left the whole room feeling damp and sticky throughout our stay Tile,counters, & sink, had been updated, but tub itself was missing enamel and rusty in spots. Light switch plate was caked with years of grime. There was stayover service provided and new towels were brought in daily. Breakfast was average for a 2 star hotel and heads-up they do not allow you to bring it back to your room to eat. Pool towels were provided and plentifully stocked. Bath towels were an average mix of brand new with threadbare/stained towels. Wires were hanging out of the wall above the bathroom light and the ceiling was flaking, but shower was hot and had good pressure. Toilet was very clean and in good working order. Overall, I would stay here again.

We had these reservations for 7 weeks. Unfortunately the quiet rest we expected back at that time was overrun with 168 band competition participants. The first night the LOUD noise above us went on until after 12 midnight. We mentioned it to the chaperons at breakfast the next morning and they stated they would take care of it. Our 2nd night had the noise begin at 9:38 and we finally went to sleep at 10:20 while it still continued because we were that tired from the night before. The facility definitely is not sound proof and when they stomped their feet or perhaps jumped back and forth between the beds, the walls creaked as well as the ceiling. It was a big disappointment this time because of who was staying there and not because of the property. We will stay there again just as we have many times before, but . . . . - hopefully we will not see a repeat offense. A good night's sleep is important in keeping alert when you drive the next day or your customers may not get the chance to return.

Our stay was not great. The room smelled of a moldy washer. The first room I was in had dog pee in various spots on the floor. The bed may or may not have been made with fresh sheets. There was trash already in the trash can. We did request a new room second room had brown ring that was not wiped on bathroom counter. Mold starting to grow in spots on the wall and in between the cracks of the headboard. Both rooms had moldy bathroom ceilings. All around bummed about the whole experience and wish I could get my money back and I would have slept in my car. I do have photos but this won’t let me add the photos for some glitch reason.

Always good and clean, but this stay the breakfast was lacking. No orange juice, no syrup for waffles and after two tries…there was no ice!! Attendant on duty did eventually bring me an ice bucket full as we were leaving.

Breakfast was a wholesome choice although many might have wanted more. The king sized beds were definitely king sized with loads of room. The queen sized seemed a little narrower than that size, but after the king sized, we might have just felt they were smaller than billed. Doorways into bathroom would not accommodate a wheelchair but this motel is a work in process and is a good stay for the money. We will be back yet this month with the family and I am confident we will have a good stay. The one neighboring building has been refurbished and thus the neighborhood has improved from a year ago.

Progress has been made in the property in the last 2 years. They still need to upgrade room bathroom doorways to made them ADA compliant, but again they are working on upgrades and I continue to stay with them and will in the next month.
