The place is undergoing some renovations, but it needs a better a lot more than that including staff. It's not clean and the housekeeping is terrible. Requests are not honored or forgotten. They seemed mostly brain dead. I won't stay there again. More

This hotel needs major help. The woman at the desk was very nice and tried to be accommodating, but it is not fair to try to even sell rooms to this hotel. We were paying $69.50 for the night, but they couldn't have paid me to stay there..... We wound up not staying because it was so horrible........ I hope... More

We have been staying at this motel on one weekend in the summer for the past several years. This year, we felt like it showed signs of going downhill. First of all, our room door got stuck.

Hotel is not well maintained, rooms are not well-cleaned. No fitted sheets on the mattress, the sheets come loose as soon as you touch them allowing you to see the appalling number of stains on the mattress.
