Hotel staff was courteous & efficient. Room was clean & comfortable.

great stay. close to everything. good value for the price

We checked in to the motel in late afternoon. Upon entering the designated room, I was hit with a STENCH that, after about 3 minutes, I found to be unbearable. I knew that I could not sleep in a room with such a horrible smell. We went to the front desk and reported this. Within minutes, we were directed to another room on the second floor. It did not smell "fresh," but after the previous room, we decided it would be o.k. I was not thrilled that the room was part of a "suite," with a locked door in-between our room and the adjoining one. Otherwise, the room was identical to the one we'd originally been given. The next morning, I noticed the price on the back of the door was significantly more than what we'd agreed to pay when I'd booked 4 days earlier. Before leaving the hotel, I went back to the desk and asked if we were going to be charged more for having been given this room. The attendant looked up our bill, and said, "No, you paid when you made the reservation. That is all." I believed him, and left. When our credit card statement came in, there was a $72 charge (the original charge) for the date on which I had booked, and and ADDITIONAL $54 charge for the date on which we checked out. We could have stayed in a NICE motel for this price. The breakfast was sufficient, the dining room was clean. I could not, however, give a good rating for what seems to me to be dishonest dealings. What really made me sick about the whole thing is that I had read about this EXACT scenario in the earlier reviews. Because of some more recent "good" reviews, I thought, "Oh, they must have improved since then." It is not worth taking a risk for, in my opinion. Stay somewhere else.

Rooms are large and acceptable. Staff is very bad. rooms are kept clean but the carpets are stained. Cleaning service forgets to clean room, replace waste baskets,etc on a regular basis. Internet is slow and unreliable. Did not wokr for two days on my last stay.

The room was ghastly. TV did not work, took 30 minutes on the phone with the tech to correct, no hot water in bath sink, phone did not work the carpet was filthy and the so called breakfast was uneatable. The only bright spot was Trina at the front desk.

Old hotel, mildew smell. If you just need one night stay then its ok but not more than one night!

Great deal considering it was a football weekend and everything was booked at a much more expensive price.

It was so nice and the staff was real friendly. Clean rooms. Offered a good breakfast. Shopping and dinning very close.

Room was very comfortable and clean. Bed was awesome! Was able to sleep 12 hours straight. The downside to the room was that it was across the interstate so you can hear the traffic in the room. It didn't bother my sleep but it might bother light sleepers. Staff was very courteous.

This was my first stay and i was impressed, i had a dirty towel folded, Bath light didnt worl
