It was unclean, and did not have the amenities promised. The breakfast was pitiful. The people were unhelpful but nice. I will avoid it in the future.

On check in I was advised there was a deposit required and that the Pool & Hottub have been closed for "quite some time" among the reason I chose the location was the hot tub after a long day of travel.

We stopped just for the night on our road trip (2 adults and 3 kids), and this hotel worked well. Price was great, and we loved the fact that we were able to get 2 queen beds and a sofa bed for the same price we could get 2 double beds at other nearby hotels. Main drawback: breakfast was really minimal. Toast, cheerios, muffins, and a waffle maker. No fruit, no jelly, no peanut butter, nothing fresh.

Everything is old and falling apart. Water faucets didn't work (no hot water from bathroom sink), shower and sink handles loose, shower head and pipe pulled out of the wall when trying to adjust.

Not great
First room had no hot water. Phone to call the front desk had to be held a certain way to hear. Got set up with a different room. Second room, fridge was broken, tv did not work, but did have hot water 🙄, missing shower liner. Cleanliness overall was not great. Would love to have brought all these issues to someone’s attention at check out but stood at the desk for 5 mins and no one showed up

As soon as we opened the door it smelt like dirty feet. The whole room was dirty and half ass cleaned. We had to ask them to clean the bathroom as it was visibly dirty & the house keeper apologized and said they have a new lady who is sick so she doesn’t clean well. Umm ok then why keep her?? Be sure to bring your own conditioner as they only supply one tiny shampoo. This is a Motel 6 quality hotel but your paying double.
