“Don't Go There!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My friend reserved this hotel through Hotels.com and that was his first mistake. It pictured a basic hotel that look nice and was reasonably priced for the area. When he got there, it looked like a dump. There was garbage piled up outside the rooms. The room they tried to give him wasn't fit for occupation. It was so filthy and damaged (blinds broken and falling down), he didn't make it past the front door. Where the refrigerator was supposed to be was a rust spot on the carpeting. He went back to the management office and told them that he was not going to stay there; he would try and find another hotel in the area. They said they would cancel the reservation. That never happened, too. He is still fighting with Hotels.com; they said they paid the hotel; the hotel said they never got paid. Won't be using either of these establishments in the future--and you shouldn't either!

Room Tip: Don't go to this hotel!

“Owners on site they will do anything to make your stay pleasant.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2011

It is and older building needs upgrades, but for the price and location is really good. They have a discounted breakfast at the Cozy diner which is a local diner with a homey feeling everyone is so nice just a good please to be and eat and the 10% off is just a plus. Love the place we have stay 4 time and plane to be back soon.

“Shabby but not chic”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2010

Several problems and some plusses with this motel.
1. Cleanliness - 2 major mystery stains, and brown grout stains in the shower, but the bed and others were clean.
2. Funiture- shabby, clean and in working order. As expected for the price and age of the property.
3. Bed- comfortable
4. Fridge, microwave, cable TV present and the internet was great.
5. no coffeemaker or blowdryer. (cafe is steps away and the ower has a lender blowdryer)
Furniture out side a nearby room (a desk??) see the picture
6. Needs a handyman - door jam dragged when I opened the door to leave and then fell out. Electical outlet has a loose casing, shower doors wouldn't slide, no stopper in the sink.
7. Walls are like paper. I used headphones to sleep..
8. MAJOR MAIN problem... the odor. Stale cigarette smoke the was not tolerable. i would prefer a person smoking a fresh cigarette over this horrbile stale smell. I left and bought some Febreeze which worked well enough for me to go tosleep but was back by morning. Ths was a non smoking room. I know this is a big problem for hotels.
9. anoterh problem, I was quoted a "special" price to find that on the intenet the "special" was $5 cheaper. It won't break me but it annoyed me.

“Fine for the price, keep the expectations reasonable.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2010

Typical 60's era tourist court. But it was semi-updated. The carpet and bedding were clean and new. The bathroom was clean but dated. The rest of the room is worn and tired, but fine for the price ($40/night). The innkeepers were nice and helpful so all in all fine for a quick night's stay on a long road trip.

The on premises resturant was closed, but there were a couple of places within walking distance.

“Never again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2009

person found this review helpful

Mold in the shower. Shower pan worn out. The TV magically appeared after we checked in and left. Zero amenities. They never replaced the toilet paper. Service was horrible and all the towels were stained. WIFI was hit and miss. The pool was full of leaves. I almost asked if this was also a motel rented by the hour. Very dirty and I'll never stay again.
