When I arrived at 3:30 pm to check in they didn’t have a room ready and asked me to come back an hour and a half later but I couldn’t as I had a funeral at 4pm. They cleaned a room for me in 15 minutes. It was a single bed and I booked a double bed room. There was no hand soap, no towels to even dry your hands. I was appreciative they rushed to get a room for me but booked the extra bed for my dogs as I have a large German shepherd (130lbs) and needed the extra space and got no refund for the smaller room. The door didn’t stay closed unless it was deadbolted. The bathroom door didn’t shut either. The workers were very nice though

We got here after a 3 hour drive, and no one was at the front desk...I rang the outside bell and called there number, no one came, after 20 mins I started to call hotels.com, they then called the hotel twice and could not get hold of anyone. They put me on hold and then an employee showed up. He said he was sorry he was sleeping, I got the room, it smelled like smoke, and the refrigerator is full of crap, are the garbage can in the bathroom was not emptied, it was never cleaned. I went back to the front desk the gave me anoter room, this room was cleaner, but both beds had no top sheet, I went back to the front desk, he gave me sheets. This may be the worst motel that I have ever stayed in, ever.

Left almost immediately. Paid for a room that was suppose to be ready I even called ahead and let them know what time we would be there. We pull up and it looks run down. This was suppose to be a nice spot for me and my soon to be fiance to spend the night along our travels and it just wasn't. We had to wait almost an hour after checking in for the room to be ready. The facility reaked of weed and was extremely loud with music blaring. We left withing 5 hours!! The TV was going out more than in with the service she wasn't comfortable and I admit neither was I just not what they make it seem on the website we were highly disappointed and dissatisfied to say the least!!

Great customer service, but the recent renovations were subpar and the room had a faint smell of urine.
