This is your basic no frills stay but, rest assured, its clean and comfy. The price cant be beat. I stay for business, so a family might think different. You dont have to travel far for things you may need.

Was what I expected, nothing fancy was a place to lay my head. The staff was friendly and efficient. The room, was not winning any awards. But was cheap and after a full day of travel it was sufficient.

This was the only room we could find in the state and had to travel much further East than originally planned. We got there late so I interacted with the hostess briefly, she seemed relatively nice. The checkin desk had a “visitor sign in sheet” that looked like it had been there for months and various signage for guests. Be hind the desk were bins and piles of unfolded sheets. We wound around to our room and upon getting there it smelled like someone had smoked in the room for 30 years and attempted to cover it up with a dollar store air freshener. The bed had stains on the fitted mattress, both blankets and 2 out if 3 pillow cases. The furniture was filthy and way past its usability. The bathroom was attempted to be updated but the paint job that should have accompanied it was not done. There was soap that ran down the side of the vanity, and the sink didn’t drain for 5 minutes after washing my hands. Given the time of night/morning, and knowing rooms were not available we did not request a room change and made due with what we had avoiding as much as we could to get a few hours sleep before continuing our drive back East. I was hoping based off of the pictures provided it was a cute little inn but they were not a depiction of my experience or room.

The parking lot was dark and there were some sketchy activities in the vehicles in the parking lot. Door D was closest to my room in the lower level, and the light was burnt out making it dark and unsafe. The remote control was missing from the bedroom, and the furniture was falling apart.

When we went to check in, the outside of the building was in disarray, didn’t look clean even from the outside. People working on their cars in the parking lot. Went to check in and stood there for 10 minutes and the guy behind counter never even acknowledged I was standing there. Someone else had walked by me and into the office and never said a word to me from the appearance just in the hotel lobby it was not a place I wanted to stay. I finally walked out and went to another hotel.

Online it looked decent. Everywhere was booked due to College game. At check in we were greeted behind bullet proof glass by someone who spoke very little English. Drifters hanging out all over the place, some even had a bonfire going in the parking lot. Hallways, and room floors were filthy. Bathtub shower was old and in need of repair badly. Sink stained. Mold on shower curtain. No trashcan. We cut our losses and drove another hour North as this prooerty seemed very unsafe and more like a halfway house. Scary situation. Do NOT recommend.

Stay in your car if this is your only option. We arrived at 5:30 pm to get ready for a concert. There were people cooking in the parking lot, and we got to watch a drug deal right by our vehicle. We stayed positive and went in to look at rooms. We did think to ask if we could see our rooms before staying… our rooms had not yet been cleaned by 5:30 pm. The housekeeper offered to clean while we were in the room and we weren’t real interested in that. Real sketchy neighborhood and gross hotel. Don’t let the pics online fool you as it looks like just the front entry had a remodel. Hoping my card doesn’t wind up with charges cuz they did seem to not care that we were leaving. One good thing is that the staff seemed kind.

The property was filthy. There was a strong smell of pot. The carpets were flithy. The room stunk. The curtain didnt even cover the window. Every towel in the bathroom was dirty..the front desk lady could only find one clean towel. She was hanging out by front door smoking. There was a lot of broken glass in parking lot. There was a guy with a baggy doing something strange in the hallway. Felt very unsafe. Very disappointed.

The area around the hotel, and the exterior of the building where very unkempt, and felt unsafe. People were barbecuing in the parking lot. And worst of all… After securing our reservation months in advance, they gave our room to someone else before we arrived so we had to scramble for accommodations elsewhere. With a large community event, the only place we could find was just as sketchy as this one appeared. A very frustrating experience!
