“Decent”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Sparse service but this was a quick overnighter and we didn't want to be bothered.
Room was quiet and clean. It was a late check in and early check out so I can't say what the place is like during the day or the staff. I wouldn't pay more than $45 for a room.

“Very little was acceptable”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2011

people found this review helpful

the bathroom had not been cleaned properly - it smelled & had a dirty wash cloth hanging on the shower curtin bar.
the window only had sheer drapes - no way to block sunlight from coming in
the room was VERY noisy - you could hear everything from above, below & the floor you were on
and finally when I checked out the woman @ the front desk didn't ask - how was your stay ? - if she had I would have told her these things & not written this review

You could do a lot worse. Average rooms, comfortable bed, but noisy heat or AC wall unit. Easy access.

“Good value for any traveler”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This is a good mid-price property. However, our biggest complaint is that it was pouring rain when we arrived and there is no overhang to park your car while you are unloading. We got soaked since we were on a long trip and did not want to leave anything in the car overnight since we didn't know the area and the crime situation.

There is a car wash next door and there are lots of people in the area at all times. However, the staff was superb, the breakfast was filling and the room was spotless. I stayed at a higher grade Marriott later in the trip that had beds inferior to this location which says something about the bedding here. Everything worked properly except the swimming pool. It was closed for repairs.

“The motel where nothing ever gets fixed.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2009
2
people found this review helpful

For over $100, a total rip-off. Here's what we Marriott reward members/holders of Marriott Visa encountered on Aug. 13, 2009

1. Truly inadequate parking although we inquired beforehand.If you gave up and parked at car repair business nextdoor, workers arrived at 7:30 a.m. and you had to move your vehicle.

2. One of the two exit doors in back did not work (Isn't this a fire hazard?).

3. Only one chair per room "allowed," according to front desk/ Sure could have used it to enjoy our beer after awful parking lot and inoperable doors.

4. Jacuzzi permanently closed; pool under "maintenance" and closed.

5. Bagels for breakfast because all other breakfast muffins, etc. very stale and at least bagels are supposed to be "chewy."

6. Elevator only worked sporadically. Fellow guest said that he'd been staying there for 7 months (a probationary sentence? Overrcrowded local jails?) and that nothing ever got fixed, including the elevator.

Stay anywhere but this place!
