Do NOT Consider this Property - Stay Away

This was a horrid, horrid property. The desk clerk, a genuinely helpful and kind woman, let me know that a few nights prior she was startled by a stranger who came in one side door, cleaned out the breakfast food, and carried it out the other door. Strangers off the street coming in at night?? Time to lock the doors!! I checked, and can't recall that they COULD be locked; they were just indoor-type door handles. Lights in the parking lot were just poles with wires sticking out, since the actual lights had been ripped off of them. The bathroom faucet was greasy. A table in the room had a layer of dust and a coating of small white hairs, so heaven only knows the last time it was cleaned. The upstairs hallway door with the sign Keep Door Closed was being propped open by a pile of dirty laundry. This property is unsafe and unclean. It should be removed from your listings.

To start off, the front desk was nice. The room was average and mostly comfortable, although it could use some upgrades in some places to be even more comfortable. Mostly things are a little outdated, which can make it seem dirty. Otherwise, we were disappointed to find that the pool and hot tub were closed (no explanation given), which was specifically in the booking and we were looking forward to using. As some people have commented in the reviews, it seems like one of the buildings next door is being rented out or taken over, which was a bit odd. We did not experience problems and it seemed quiet at night nonetheless. Lastly, the hotel would benefit from a key drop or providing some guidance for guests who leave early. We felt bad for waking someone when we had to call them at early to ask what to do to check out. All in all, for a night or so it is fine but there could be improvement to make it a better experience.

No one was at the front desk; I had to press a button on a phone to summon the receptionist. We were given a key (no card, a real key!) to our room which took several minutes to get it to work. It felt like it wasn't the correct key. Very musty odor ipon enteringthe room. My husband thought some previous guest must have been smoking even though it was a non-smoking room. The drapes would not close & I used a safety pin to pin it closed. There was dirt left by dirty hands around every doorknob. Obviously this hotel hasn't seen any upgrades in a few decades.

Disappointing

The pictures on the website are old pictures. We were very disappointed with our stay and we payed for two nights but only ended up staying one because we didn't feel comfortable. The pool is not open and has not been maintained. All the rooms are torn up and all over the place. One of the buildings are for homeless people, and the lobby was locked when we tried to check out during normal business hours. There was no breakfast, the whole thing was just disappointing and wasn't at all like the website suggested. I did not feel comfortable staying another night. It's run by a couple that are the only staff there so I know they are doing there best to stay afloat but I wouldn't bring a family.

Property appears to have homeless people squatting in it. Most motel doors wide open. Derelict vehicles with flat tires parked in front. Could not/would not stay there. Left immediately. I have no idea why - A. It's open and B. Why Expedia would offer it. The only good part is that the "staff member" let us cancel our reservation so that we didn't have to pay. I would love to hear from someone at Expedia about this dump.

Place needs to be demolished and rebuild new. Pool not accessible, hot tub broken. AC working great, hot water and pressure great. Gym and other activities couldn’t find. Breakfast wasn’t there at 7am, for 1 night stay it’s ok and price it’s ok. Don’t think I’ll stay there again. Search for better places.

When we arrived, the front door was locked. A note near the door directed us to call a number - that had no area code. When asked, the manager said "I thought everyone would know the area code." We're travelers, why would we know the area code? Anyway, we were not told what the wi-fi password was. I called the same number as before but never got a callback. I was previously told by the manager that she was having a problem with harassing phone calls from someone and wasn't answering the phone. But if that is the same line that guests are using, I don't know, why not look at the Caller ID? And or call the police on the person that was harassing? Why not promptly listen to voice mail messages. When we booked the room, one of the criteria was chose / choose, is breakfast included as this is VERY convenient. It need not be a full buffet, but something. We were told that this motel was no longer serving breakfast. That's fine, I guess, but their site should be updated on Travelocity to indicate such. At checkout in the morning, again, the front door was locked, and there was no one in the lobby. I got into the lobby via a side door and left the key on the desk. The manager, overall, was friendly (though I never saw her again after checking in), and the room itself was VERY spacious, and clean. Those were the only redeeming aspects of our stay.

The room itself was nice. However, I paid for “continental breakfast” and confirmed over the phone that breakfast was included with accommodation to only find out that morning that breakfast was not being served due to covid. Disappointing and inconvenient especially when you travel with children and one of them had a broken bone. They did bring us half container of milk and an open bag of cereal -no spoons, no bowls. I took it as a joke. There was no refund and no apology. Very unfortunate experience.
