This place smelled stale and airless. Had to wait 15 minutes for the front desk clerk to even show up. I would not walk barefoot on the carpet. This motel looked like it should be in a horror film. The room looks like a future crime scene.

Room smelled like mildew. In-room coffee maker had dark flakes & buildup in its reservoir. Adjustable shower head would not adjust its position, nor could the shower/faucet selector be moved into the faucet position. Exterior-facing window would not lock and therefore could not be secured; this was a ground floor room, so anyone could have entered from its waist-height position. The exits to the exterior of the building did not lock and therefore anyone could enter the hotel from those points. Very cheap room, but you get what you pay for.

Decent for the price.
This hotel is pretty decent, it has a nice breakfast. I like that it's pet-friendly, the check-in is quick, and the rooms are decent enough for the price. Our cable didn't work and they called out the cable guy which was very nice of them! The hotel is a little dated, but for the price I can't complain about anything.

The lobby was clean and breakfast was good. Lots of choices. The room was another thing. Dirty towels hanging on shower rod. Bedspread was absolutely filthy…..it went on the floor. Amazingly the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet, but will think twice before booking “America’s Best” again.

odor was terrible in the 2 rooms we booked at each end of this old motel. Maybe the carpets haven't been done in several years? It was close to unbearable. I would have stayed in a different place if I knew it smelled like that.
