Had to move to 3 times to get a room that was somewhat decent. lights didn't work, roaches, dead bolt did not work, door had gaps you could see outside and staff said they would take care of it but in the evening the staff said they had no record of needing to move rooms and that their staff didn't inform them. They made it my fault they don't communicate among them selves. Id like my money back

The rooms are low quality. It was bug infested and lots of damage. They collected a deposit so I took lots of pictures of the room to make sure they don’t try to keep it. The beds are hard as rocks. They put a sheet and thin blanket and another sheet. The bedding had holes in it. I wish I could upload pictures. Do not recommend staying here.

Way to costly for the conditions. Old. Stained shower.No closet door. Two properties, one office due to understaffing. First room was upstairs. Very hot, didn't want to have to carry everything multiple trips up and down the stairs. Second room, after unpacking, discovered that the door wouldn't lock. They couldn't fix it, so we had to take the upstairs room. Repack, unpack again, climbing the stairs. Ended up late to meet family. Seemed like people were living there long term.

Terrible service. The lady that was supposed to be there to help with breakfast was on her phone the entire time, I wanted to film her and attach it but I disregarded issues. Many people like us were asking for the basic necessities of breakfast like milk or coffee or even syrup. All she had to say was she can bring them tomorrow (there is a supermarket next door to the motel less than 20 yards away). Instead of sitting on her phone she could've done her job and came back with everything we all needed in less than 5 minutes. Due to this, many people chucked there breakfast in the trash because of the service. Also, the jacuzzi was disgustingly green and uncleaned. The whole motel in general is terrible. And I do not recommend.

This property doesn't even meet satisfactory. Change rooms twice. 1st room TV didn't work, 2nd room hot water didn't work. Bathtubs in all 3 rooms the bathtub glaze was peeling. Staff told me when the remodeled they may have installed the shower faucet incorrectly. This place was looks like it was remodeled in the 70's. Wall air conditioner looked like mold was in the vent. expedia should go to the properties before they these kinds of places to be added to the site. I've been in many quality inns, but this was as bad a drug infested motel six. Breakfast was available, but the coffee was awful and the had very little to choose from. Only 2 apples at 6:30am and they weren't even edible. Never book a room here. Staff wasn't very pleasant and had knowledge of all the issues. The pictures on expedia where from the Clarion hotel across the way where you have to check in. when I showed the staff members the pictures, they said oh well that's the kitchen suite and rooms from clarion. What??? This should place should not be allowed on this site.

Horrible hotel. First room wreaked of mildew and cigarette smoke. When I went to the desk, they only told me they wouldn’t charge me the smoke fee. I had to ask for another room. The 2nd room smelled better, but the walls were stained, the tub was peeling, and I had no hot water. Horrible horrible horrible hotel.

For the price I paid they are so lucky I was desperate and stayed. The room smelled like wet wood. They have roaches and I had to ask for new sheets because the pull out couch had used one on there. The towels smelled dingy, which makes me think they don’t use Clorox to wash them. Never again.
