    Soon as we pulled up to the property at 1:30 am we noticed a lot of people standing outside. One of those people walked up to the car to attempt a drug transaction not knowing who we were. There was noise and traffic throughout the night which made it impossible to sleep. Lastly the room had fleas

    Easy to access A little pricey for location but still decent

    They advertised a "Free Breakfast"...but the only things available were bowls of Raisin Bran & Fruit Loops, warm milk, juoce, and lousy coffee. That does not even come close to constituting what a Breakfast should be. That was a very pitiful offering...The worst hotel Breakfast I've ever experienced anywhere in the world in my 80 years. ... They should be ashamed of yourselves. There was no bread for toast, or bagels, or croissants, no oatmeal, no pancakes, and eggs, hash browns, and sausage were nowhere to be seen. The desk clerk and a guy that said he was a manager were indignant when I complained and said that their claim of a "Free Breakfast" was false advertising. I asked for a partial refund of between $12-15 to cover the cost of Breakfast elsewhere, but was laughed at to my face..They said that they were just a small motel and could not afford to put out full Breakfasts like Holiday Inn and the Hiltons of the world do. Very very pathetic... I wouldn't let my dog stay there...

    Overall it was a decent, secure and comfortable place for a night and the staff was exceptional, however when I took a shower, the shower head fixture sprung a leak suddenly and started spraying everywhere on to the hardwood tile which could have been a safety hazard considering there was no shower mat and for some reason, the water also smelled like a really bad smell bad which made for an unpleasant experience but I did mention it to the owner or manager when I was checking out and he apologized and offered to give me a partial refund which I refuse because that’s not really something he anticipated. The only other thing negative I would say is that it just does not feel like the safest place and I actually even had someone knock on my door at 3 AM and then come back around in an hour and knock again which was a little scary but overall, it was a decent experience and a good night sleep for the most part. I don’t know if they served breakfast or not. It was not mentioned to me on check in but but i think the comfy bed and the friendly staff went a long way toward making it and already good value. I would stay there again, but it would not be my first choice.

    Ended up staying here last minute after the shady people at Studio 6 sold the room I’d reserved. Staff were all friendly. Not where I planned to stay, but room was clean; and it wasn’t too loud for Friday/Saturday nights.s

    To be totally honest nothing There was slime in the coffee pot. Toilet moved every time you sat down. Mold in the bathroom. Noisey. No soap. Advertises breakfast provided. But it was only cereal and only one kind. I didn’t pay 85 dollars to stay in a hotel like that

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    There was a pool and it’s kid friendly They supposed to serve breakfast but it’s only cereal

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Location Service was horrible. Front desk did not know what she was doing. Took 45mins to check in because for some reason my resv couldn't be found. AC in the room didn't work and front desk said she couldn't move me per management. The shower had hair in it and some mucus was in the sink. Toilet was also dirty. Floor wasn't swept and the outside was very busy and noisy.
