The room was enough for me and my 4 kids to sleep peacefully. The tv had cartoons for the kids. The water pressure and temperature were amazing. I also got to examine the room before submitting payment for my deposit. I was also over 4 hours late checking in with no issues

The room was clean, everything was in order, but if I had had a room without a damaged sink, I would have given it 5 stars

There was no hot tub that we could find. The bed was comfortable. The rooms are extremely old and in disrepair. Housekeeping only emptied the garbage and replaced towels only made one bed once. Every day we went out and when we returned we had to walk back to the office to get our key reset.

4/10 Fair

The staff was great - the room not so much. Floor, walls , shower was extremely dirty. People were coming in and out of the rooms down from me. I wouldn’t stay here again.

6/10 Good

Check in/out process was very fast and easy, but the rooms do not look like the pictures. They were clean for the most part, couldve been cleaner. But the yellow dirty pillows were covered up with the pillow case, the bed was absolutely the worst bed I have ever slept on in my life, the sheets and curtains had burn holes even though its supposed to be a non smoking room and you could hear the traffic driving by all night. But if you're just looking for a place to sleep for the night like we were, I guess its tolerable for the price.

2/10 Poor

They took my money and when i stop ny the place there was no room available. They threw me out to the street at 2AM in a not low crime area at all. They keep my money i I didn’t have where to go with out the money for a new reservation, let alone a safe place to sleep.

6/10 Good

It was okay. Not good by any means. I don’t think it was worth what I paid (even on Expedia). My room was decent, upstairs and relatively clean thank God. I read many poor reviews after booking (in my defense, they were posted literal days after I booked) and was genuinely terrified. I think my room was recently remodeled, bc the AC actually worked. It wasn’t the worst hotel on the road but it was pretty dang close. Bc of the location, I was scared to walk out of my room unnecessarily. As in, while waiting for my Uber after checking out, a windowless white van pulled in off the highway and the man inside rolled down the window saying that he could “take me for a ride.” If you’re in a group or with a male-presenting person, you’d probably be fine. If you’re a single female like me, I’d spend the extra $100 to avoid the irl child kidnapping van. The staff was nice tho.

The most important part of this room is it was economical and clean. Cleanliness is important to me. Breakfast wasn't fancy but had refrigerated sandwiches to heat up in microwave. Yogurt fruit and bagels also. Thank you

2/10 Poor

The photos are 100 times better than reality. Words are not sufficient to describe how *bad* this place is. The floors are chipped and peeling. Lights are missing bulbs, so you have to move lightbulbs around. The shower wall has huge cracks (poorly repaired), that looks like a football players threw himself against the wall and broke the whole thing. The bathroom sink faucet is so loose that the whole faucet moves & twists around when you try to use it. The fridge wobbles around and BARELY cools. The blanket on the bed is covered in rips & holes! There is a homeless guy parking in a beat-up van and cooking over a small portable grill IN THE PARKING LOT. Pool was covered in fallen leaves. Possibly the *loudest* wall A/C unit I've ever heard, all bent and stained. Super sketchy area, too. The staff were nice & helpful, though. This place should be $40/night, max.

Service people were generally very kind and helpful. When we returned to pick up forgotten items, they provided them efficiently. The inside doorlock was missing, so that needs repair. After I'd checked with the main office in the morning to extend our time by 1/2 hour, another man came to the door and persisted in telling me I had to do more by going to the office, even though I kept telling him I had already done so. Fearing him, I finally had to close the door on him.

Check in was pretty easy and fast. Room wasn’t far from check in. Room was pretty clean. Toilet worked but also didn’t. Shower was good. For the price the room is good. The only problem was getting my deposit back the first night. I had to literally question the guy to get it back. He gave me a receipt that explained nothing and told me money is back on the card but wasn’t. So I walked back in and said hey man I need something better that explains I am getting my deposit back like you said. Gave me another receipt then I said. This receipt doesn’t show or state the deposit I gave you. He then manually released it and I instantly got my $50 deposit back. It’s almost as he was trying to see if I was a fool and just left. After, that night. He has been more simple with me. I would still stay here if there is no other options
