We had two short stays in the same week. During the first, we had to ask for three coffee makers to get one the brewed properly. During the second, the group in the room next door were having loud conversations from 1-2am. The room could use some sound proofing.

Canceled our second night. Motel is too loud. People above us stopped around until 3am and their neighbor had children that ran back and forth until midnight. No sound proofing. Water pipes sound like they are in your room. Staff is very friendly and did refund our second night.

Felt the authorization for incidents when the room was prepaid of $250 which was more than what I actually paid for the room was the steepest I had paid there across this country as I travel more than 200 days of the year and this was very ridiculous. Other than that my stay was fine, but due to this I wouldn’t choose this place again

For the price and location this hotel was acceptable.... The beds were nice and firm, the linens and towels were laundered well, and the cleaning crew knew their jobs. On the downside there were ants about (not a huge run but....), a light fixture didn't work, and the caulking, trim, etc was definitely neglected.

I truly am shocked this place was rated so high. The place was ok at best but our room had no block lock so my young children could open the door without anything to stop them. The fan in the bathroom didn’t work and there was no plug to be able to give the kids a bath. The place was definitely on the older side and the front office was locked in the morning. Another person staying there at the same time complained that they had no hot water and some of their room lights didn’t work.
