We were pleasantly surprised by the property. Our room was large and very clean. It was quiet. The area looked a little sketchy, but there were no problems. The guys at the neighboring gas station were very friendly and helpful. They have a veritable mini store behind the counter if you forget any personal items or need aspirin, toothpaste, shampoo, hairspray, etc. We needed a smoking room, and they are very hard to find. The room did not smell like stale smoke. It was very clean and very large. The staff is very friendly.

While this property has beautifully remodeled, the area that it is in is scary. As our driver drove us further away from town I wondered why I hadn't checked the location. The buildings were rundown and many were boarded up. There were, possibly, ladies of the night, gang members, drug dealings. The hotel parking lot was full of people 'hanging out, partying, hollering and playing loud music'. I have no complaints about how people live thier lives. I just did not want to be in the middle of all this. I did not feel safe.

Checking in, the front desk associate was very nice. However, when I returned to say my nonsmoking room is very smokey I was not offered another room. I was given frebreeze and had to keep my door ajar to breathe awhile. Due to an event nearby there were not other options so I thought I could endure it. I ended up with a headache and an itchy throat. The yop sheet was clean but the mattress pad was DISGUSTING. STAINED AND HAIR ALLOVER. There was garbage under the furniture. The walls have definitely never been wiped down, filthy - plus flies. I dont even think they swept up my room. There were people stompi g around. Kids crying. and very late people banging on doors to be let in. It is not the best aresa but this was a 200$ motel stay and it was disgusting and noisy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was a very affordable and comfortable stay. Had a mini fridge and a microwave but No frills or extras. Just the necessities which was fine by me and my husband. We stayed because it was just a few miles from a Music Festival we attended. It also had a small desk and a chair. We got the king room. I only wish that it had at least one other chair so we both could have sat in a chair to eat instead of on the floor or bed but that wasn't a huge deal. The staff let us know that we have to ask for extra towels, blankets/sheets etc since we were staying a few nights in a row since they don't do daily room service. There are some scuffs here and there but that kind of stuff never bothers me but if you are a perfectionists it might. I would absolutely stay here again.
