The best part of the trip was the fact that I was able to check in at 11:00 at night, but aside from that nothing was really good about to stay. The bed was very loud and squeaky. The hot water in the shower was non-existent, very cold. The TV was extremely small and discolored. I probably won't be ever going back to the site

The owner was not very friendly when I was checking in. The room smelled there were cigarettes burns in the mattress. It was a non smoking room. The bed was so hard it could have been a piece of plywood. There was shady looking people riding bikes and walking around. I did not even stay the second night it was so bad .

Can't think of a thing other than check-in in & out that was not one of my worst motel stays ever. No made beds, no clean towels, musty, noisy outside until after midnight, cigarette smoke smells, empty shampoo packs.. too much more to want to think about.

I felt sorry for the elderly desk clerk.
The room was clean. Impressed by the paint job to brighten the room. Felt like I was in a motel friend m the 50’s or 60’s.
I place to lay your head for 1 night.

Quiet and comfortable. Room was clean and AC worked great as it was hot and muggy outside. Was in town for lacrosse tournament and it met our needs. Close to shopping, dining and entertainment. No frills but would stay here again.

I specifically requested a non smoking room and got a smoking room on the second floor (room 44). I had a very difficult time sleeping due to this as well as the trashy resident in the room next door with the television blaring. I doubt I would return unless the circumstances were different.

I didn't stay here because of bad customer service at the front desk which was closed upon my arrival so I went to buy another room at days inn and return to the desk the next day and man keeps on telling me that he doesn't understand what I was saying...a very bad experience

The property was great, and the staff was extremely friendly. I would have been absolutely thrilled with the value of this motel, if the sheets didn’t have mold on them when I turned down the sheets. I had to leave and stay elsewhere.

Older motel. Room was clean. When we first arrived, the toilet didn’t flush. We were moved to the next room without any issues. The price was high considering it was just a basic room.
