The room was clean. Housekeeping only came once during our 1 week stay. There's plenty of parking. The guests next door were outside in front of their room smoking which caused smoke to come into our room. These rooms are non-smoking.

The staff in the office during check in was really nice. The outside of the rooms in parking lots had trash everywhere. When we got to room it was clean, but both beds didn’t have comforters just sheets and the lamps next to the bed didn’t work. In the restroom there wasn’t any shampoo and conditioner. Definitely won’t be staying there again.

Room was very disappointing for the money. I have stayed at beautiful rooms with great amenities for same $. The furniture was old, chipped and not well placed in room cutting off a section of room. No phone, hangars, Bed thin matress. Homeless hanging around top parking lot, I was very uncomfortable. Very unhappy no refund . I chose not to stay and lost my $. I would not recommend.

It is an old, poorly managed, and poor kept-up motel. While the sheets appeared to be clean, the rest of the room was not. The bathroom was grimy, the room smelled of disinfectant used to cover up cigarette smoke even though it was a "non-smoking room." There was little furniture which made it hard to set anywhere than the bed. It was, by far, the worst place I ever stayed in. The office staff was helpful and courteous when I asked to be moved to another room. The first room was far worse than the one described above. The owner or management of this motel should invest in fixing it up or close it. I felt totally ripped off by the experience.
