I like Choice Hotels, have had reasonable luck with the budget based Econo Lodges too, but this is the worst hotel I can remember staying in.
I knew it was a bad sign when we went to check in at the hotel front desk and were told to go around to the gas station that was connected to the hotel to check in. It was disarrayed mess at the checkout counter.

To keep this brief, how about a list of most of the demerits:
Check in was a disorganized mess.
They over charged me, based on my online reservation, by about $9. Just annoying. I didn’t have my reservation printout in hand, so I couldn’t question.
The door keys spontaneously stopped working the second day of the stay (The cards had no reason to be demagnetized). We weren’t the only ones dealing with this.
The lightswitch in the room didn’t work…because there were no lightbulbs in the lamp.
No lights in the room worked upon flipping the switching. We had to fumble around in the dark to find a light that had a bulb. Then the plug looked like it had been hit with a hammer. One side had no power, the other barely retained the plug. At least we had light now.
The room contained two double beds. Neither bed had fitted sheets, so the sheet quickly folded and exposed a mattress you probably don’t want to touch.
One of the sheets also looked like someone had blown a nose on it, really pretty disgusting.
Hot water was sparse, but seemed to come eventually. Night one: used only hot water handle for shower, but it was acceptably warm. Night two: hot water was warm enough to warrant cold water. Upon moving cold handle, handle fell off. Then again…and again.
The ice machine did not work, and based on the condition and the fact that the water to it was shut off, it hadn’t worked in a while.
The room was supposed to have a microwave and a refrigerator. The microwave was present, but the refrigerator was not. I don’t know if the microwave actually worked.
The TV worked, but the remote control did not. Just icing on the cake.
The 2nd floor railing looked to be nearly rusted through at least halfway across that floor.

Now for the benefits of the hotel:
The AC worked
The TV worked (Remote did not)
They accommodated my request for room location.
No odd stains noticeable (other than the booger sheet)

I was thoroughly disappointed with this hotel. I keep my standards low. I expected economy lodging, but this still surprised me. The room was sparse and worn, but I expected that. It is the other things above that I didn’t expect. I’ve stayed in comparable but better hotels within 30miles of here for 60% of the price. The price did not reflect the service provided. I hate to give bad reviews, but this place was bad. I would not stay here again.

When we arrived we could not find the front desk as is was located in an adjoining convenience store (we found this out the next morning in dayight hours). All sorts of people were out in the parking lot drinking and smoking on a 30 degree night. The sliding glass windows are "fixed" with duct tape. The broken glass in the parking lot and broken down vehicles on the perimeter . When I attempted to check in the next morning I found the carport/ front desk area was padlocked. The so called "convenience" store fuel pumps were all bagged. I was notified by the neighboring Comfort Inn (where we stayed) reps that the gas station has not had gas in quite awhile. We were in LIma as our youngest had a College application-interview. We anticipate his matriculation of study and will visit from time to time over the next four years. My wife and I will most definitely NOT stay at the Econolodge. We made certain to take a series of digital pictures and have them saved at home. Feel free to ask us if you would like to see what this place looks like as of March 25, 2011. It sure would be great if someone from Choice Hotels stopped by unannounced to see what is really going on at this place. .

The hotel was clean, it is an older establishment which was recently bought out by new owners. The new owners are renovating and have improved the place since last I stayed here! Such an improvement in customer service!

Photos are deceiving. STAY AWAY from this place. I have never felt so dirty just stepping IN to a motel before. Worst stay of our life. And that "beautiful pool"? Ha, what a joke. It was dry as a bone w/ black tarps. Probably hasn't been used in YEARS. Our first room had the hardware in the bathroom ripped off the wall. Our toilet paper was on THE BED. Lamps & lights do not work. Images on the tv were all green. Tub did not drain. So, we were moved to a 2nd room which had bugs. And, that room's shower did not have running water!! Shady people hanging out in the parking lot. Some where grilling meat on mini grills and walking around our cars. i can tolerate a lot but this motel is beyond words. We left at midnight and never looked back.
