I reserved room 234 30 days before my arrival. The person at the front desk was an older man from India. He confirmed the room ( I always use the same room for the last 7 years). Upon my arrival they told me that someone else got the room. They assigned me a room where the toilette wasn't working. The carper on the floor was full of stains and smelled really bad. They have a new onsite manager. An old couple from Idia that can not speak english at all.

Don’t stay here, very disappointed!

Where to start, the room is extremely run down and old. I booked 2 rooms, 1 for me and 1 for my daughter and her family. We both had major issues. Floors were dirty, big hole on the side of the couch that I wouldn’t dare touch or allow anyone to sit on, 1 of the curtains were hanging off the window, the door to the patio is glass and your can see straight out of it meaning if someone was standing outside they would be able to see in. The 2nd bedroom didn’t have air conditioning nor heat, oh and no tv. My daughter’s room freezer didn’t work, and had a smell to it. There room wasn’t that clean either. Floors were dirty. You can tell they do the bare minimum while cleaning. I have a list of things I didn’t like but I’ll attach the pictures so show proof. In the living room/kitchen area only 1 light worked and the room stayed very dim

From Check-in to Check-out, the staff was so friendly and helpful. The room was cleaner than the room I stayed at in a luxury hotel in Vegas. I travel here for work weekly and Im definitely going to keep booking this hotel. Lots of parking and its quiet.

It’s okay

The hotel was clean. My biggest complaint is that the walls were paper thin. You can hear everything so it was really hard to sleep. I wanted to check in at 2:45, but no one was there and no one answered the phone. It’s a good value if you are low maintenance and a heavy sleeper.

Clean and Comfortable

A family emergency required me to get a motel room for several days. It is an older motel and it seemed that my room had some renovation. A large entertainment center blocked a brick wall that once had a fire place. There was a five to six inch gap between the entertainment center and the wall that you could see the fire place. Yet, it did not affect my stay as there was an air conditioning and heating unit in the room. The desk staff were very cordial. The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. It made my stay enjoyable under the circumstances.

Won’t Be Back

Door would not open. Soap, shampoo etc poor quality. Coffee filter pouch wrong size. Did not replenish coffee. Toilet one foot from ground. TV on side wall. Poor lighting. No luggage stand or extra blanket. The door was the worst nearly impossible to open. We saw multiple guests struggling with this issue. This was our second stay at this establishment. We won’t be back.
