Good

The rooms were clean. The front desk staff were kind of indifferent. Not very welcoming. Empty coffee carafes and asked about it and they kind of said “oh well.” Would have liked a cup of coffee. Price is inexpensive so I get it.
My expectations were pretty low...we booked the last room (literally) on the same day. Doesn't look that impressive from outside, but our basic room was clean, comfortable and pleasant. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were friendly enough and our room was clean. There was a coffee pot, microwave and refrigerator in the room which was nice. The dispensers in the room like the shampoo, hand soap, etc. were all empty. Lastly the location isn’t ideal but we were in town for WE Fest and every other hotel in town was ridiculously priced.
The price was great and I had no issues with anything. I have been at a lot of hotels.,Some were more fancier than others but this is the first time I had coffee in my room with a Keurig coffee maker. Fantastic.
Front desk service was excellent, and there was a security person on staff at the front entrance, which was appreciated and provided some sense of security. Ice machine in lobby was great to have on a hot day to fill up coolers and cups@
The staff was more interested in smoking out in front than coming in to check people in.
The lobby was messy and dirty.
Surprisingly, the room and beds were clean and comfortable.
We canceled the second night and found a nicer motel.

Disliked: Amenities
Seemed short staffed. Person working front desk was also cleaning rooms leaving desk unattended. First room they gave us had not been cleaned yet. Second one did not have shower curtain, but they got us one. We were locked out of our room the second day because room keys didn’t work. Had to go find staff to help because they were cleaning rooms. Pretty sure a couple guests actually lived there, just hanging out in hotel and in the parking lots all days were stayed. Front lobby chair were all ripped, all of them. Staff was nice, hotel was adequate to sleep but no other amenities available.
I was skeptical about this hotel when I booked it mainly due to the price. I figured it could potentially be a dive however I was pleasantly surprised! The lobby and my room were very clean, comfortable bed and friendly service when I checked in.
