United Airlines put my wife and I here for the night after our flight was canceled due to mechanical problems. It is a horrible, run down motel that is dirty. Sand on the floor, stained bed sheets, damaged furniture - poor all the way around. Worse yet, they close the office when the single front desk employee makes an airport shuttle run. When this happens there is no one to answer the phone. Avoid if possible.

I stayed here recently and I will never again. The room was very "moldy" smelling. The carpet, mirrors and bathroom were completely filthy. The air conditioner face was cracked and broken and there was no way to tell what setting it was on. It looks like someone/something was thrown on/at it. I was afraid to use the shower it was so disgusting. There was soap scum and whatever else in the shower/bath. I checked each day and the same dirt was there every day...I don't believe it was ever cleaned while we were there. One of the bolts on the back of the toilet seat was broke and it was almost falling off. The microwave had a cigarette burn on the top, and one of the light switches was actually pushing out of the wall. They "fixed" it by putting something around it and then painting it. The carpet was just filthy and old.
I paid for the room ahead of time online and received a discounted rate from Choice Hotels if I booked thru them; which meant that there were no refunds for cancellation...otherwise, I would have left immediately. On top of that, when I checked in, they said there would be another $6 charge. I asked for what...they said there was a $2 daily charge for use of the microwave and the refrigerator! What????
The bed was uncomfortable and worn. When you laid on it, the top of the bed was lower that the bottom of the bed which made your feet higher than your head. I had to use 2 pillows under my head to be "even." The door didn't hardly shut right. I had to slam it to get it to lock.
I left one day early and headed home, losing money for 1 night's stay, but I couldn't stand the thought of staying another night in this dump!
I don't know where the good reviews came from...the entire motel, from the outside and my room is "beat up" and just plain worn. The pictures on the internet are not representative of the room I stayed in.
I truly don't know how this place stays in business.

I usually enjoy my stay, but this time it wasn't very nice. The microwave didn't have a dish, the shower water pressure was very low and I didn't have wash cloths in my room. Also, I had to choose an upstairs room because the others were unavailable and I made reservations.

Excellent staff is super friendly and professional. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The price is excellent for the quality of the stay. Extremely well maintained for a lower cost motel. They have excellent people skills

How much do you want to know? Extremely bad bed, very hard to change room. Door hard to close and lock harder to close. Finally got the room changed (too much work per one of the employees), and slept that night cold as the heater didn't work. Lock didn't work at all in that room so I stuffed the chair under the door handle to sleep. Got heater replaced next day to the "replacement" old one with missing knobs and cigarette burns. Meanwhile, no towels. Room not cleaned (not such a big deal as I keep a clean room, but the trash not emptied an no towels). Oh, and front desk, (no, I have no towels). Never mind the candy wrapper and quarter inch thick mold on the baseboard in the bathroom from before I rented the room for the week......
Regarding sleep - did someone actually review this motel as quiet?? They were lucky! Most nights just the paper thin walls issues, but Tuesday night was the screaming match from above, foot stomping interspersed with cussing from "Her" and screaming and banging from "him", carried on from 3 am to about 4 am, with just long enough breaks that my heart rate went almost to normal about 3 times.
Thursday night was lots of banging, door slamming and yelling as some groups seemed to think everyone was on their schedule that night while they planned an early leave. There was not much sleep here, at least not without lots of interruptions.
All in all, this was the worst motel I've ever stayed more than one night. If I had any reasonable choice and hadn't driven 8 hours for an important work event, I would have left.
Caveat; there were two women working that week that were helpful, knowledgeable and kind . Without fail the men were "too much work", "I can't do anything, come back at 11 am" etc.
