"Place was good. Staff was great! The Bfast was good for being included. The only issue was our room smelled very bad. Staff came to use an air freshener, that was very nice. Still kept smelling. Overall, great location and was pleased. "
"I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was honestly shocking.
We booked this motel months in advance for a concert weekend and arrived around 4:45 PM, well after the listed 3 PM check-in time, only to find complete chaos. There was no attendant present, the posted check-in phone number did not work, and multiple guests were returning to the office complaining that their room keys did not work and that the rooms were unacceptable. Several people ended up leaving entirely while we were checking in.
The owner stated he had recently taken over the property, but instead of acknowledging how concerning the situation was, he acted as though the conditions and confusion were completely normal. He told us our room was not ready and then offered us a room that previous guests had just refused. When we entered the room, there were towels spread all over the bed, visible grime everywhere, stained towels, an extremely dirty toilet with heavy buildup and mold, and a shower with thick grime in the corners that clearly had not been cleaned in a very long time.
When we questioned the condition of the towels, he told us that if he gave us clean towels, he would have to go wash them across the street. He also responded to concerns about the room by saying, “This isn’t the Taj Mahal.”
This was completely unacceptable. More importantly, the entire situation felt disorganized, unsanitary, and unsafe. We ultimately decided to leave and find somewhere safe because this felt very wrong."

"I arrived at the hotel at 4:30 pm expecting to have a room ready. After waiting in line for 1 hour, the staff informed me they had 18 uncleaned rooms. They told they would call or text me when the hotel room was ready. Hours went by…. And no call or text. I even tried calling the front desk 4x with no answer. I was traveling with a dog, and had to book another hotel 4 miles down the road to accommodate my dog. I traveled 200 miles to see Morgan wallen and I wasn’t even able to catch the entire show on time or check into this hotel…. On the night of my anniversary. I was charged $700 for absolutely nothing. And I had to spent an additional $700 at another hotel… An absolute disgrace of a hotel and horrible communication from the staff. As a Hilton gold member I am livid and will be making a a formal complaint to Hilton directly."
