Good place
Jorge, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hotel is in the process of renovating. Very much needed. No breakfast as advertised
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel was undergoing renovation during our stay, but carpets in the available rooms were not all that clean and there were stains on the bedding.
kirk, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The stay was very accommodating, friendly, and happy. The motel was average, but appropriate for the price. It needs a good deep-cleaning, especially where the baseboard joins the floor. The pool was empty, and there was green, thick water in the hot tub.
Susan, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean, quiet and affordable for a stay near the airport. Felt safe
Kathryn, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not clean we had to vacuum ourselves and the bed linens were torn stain with holes! Also no am breakfast they said under repair for over a year if so this needed information should be known beforehand. Not very happy about this hotel.😛😭
Roberta, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great spot for the price, clean and fresh towels and sheets
Dylan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is the nastiest hotel I have ever stepped foot in.
steven, 1-night trip

Room wasn’t very clean, one bed was dirty, toe nail clippings in the floor. There was no breakfast even though online it said there was.
Angela, 1-night trip

Good food and customer services.
Cholladda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not sure when the last time the floors were vacuumed. I found fecal matter on the wall and on the bathtub. There is no hair dryer. Looks like they washed the mirrors with a dirty rag.
Jody, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid at all costs

The hotel is old and run down. But even run down can be kept clean. Carpet in the room was worn and stained. My wife opened a large towel after she showered and it was stained. House keeping was non existent. The day manager was asleep in the office several times On Hotels.com it advertised breakfast included. It was not unless a cup of coffee is considered a breakfast. Thanks to Hotels.com for helping us cancel the remainder of our reservation there and providing a credit as an apology
Ronsld, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Lumpy, saggy mattress. A stray sock from the previous guest. A dim lobby. Trash and filth left in the hallway from construction crew doing renovations. A broken chair. No Kleenex (!!!). Not much to love here.

No hot water, stains on sheets and towels.

My room was dirty upon arrival with pet urine and feces stains on the carpet. Everything was broken, from the door lock to the shattered window. Will not return.

David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s an older property, but well kept. Nice accommodations for a low affordable price. Nice little bar/casino within the property.
Monty, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Its connected to a little casino. The rooms are not in very good condition, uncomfortable, and dirty. My wife and I walked into our room and before we could set our bags down, walked back out and told the front we arent staying there. Very poor quality and cleanliness. The front desk was not very helpful with anything.
Tyler, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was clean and everyone was very friendly
