Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When I arrived after a long trip, the room was dirty, infested with cockroaches, and had no hot water. I reported the issues to Expedia and requested a refund for one night so I could move to another hotel, but they denied it even after I provided photos. To make things worse, I was abruptly woken up the next morning by a loud knock a hotel staff member rudely told me to leave because they claimed the night wasn’t paid. I showed him my receipt and he left without even apologizing. Completely unacceptable. I would never stay here again.

Not bad for a motel

We were on a weekend ball trip with my daughter. It was good for one night and very clean and remodeled rooms. Outside environment was a bit sketchy but we didn’t have any issues

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They are well on their way to renovating the facilities. Our room was clean, the beds were firm, the sheets and comforter were quality products, and the AC had to be turned up so we weren’t too cold. This place is a great value.
