Check in: rang the bell the gentlemen came down from the American hotel (which they also own) to check us in. Went smoothly. Room appeared to be clean and tidy. We left to visit our friend. Came back and when we came in I saw a bug run across the desk but didn’t see what kind of bug. As we were eating a snack the bug came back around. It was a roach for sure, we killed it. Okay one… hmmm maybe but then we moved the tv cable box to be sure it was plugged in tightly because the remote wasn’t working at all for the tv nor the cable box and two roaches ran out. One got smooshed and the other ran away. We said, “That’s it, we aren’t staying here”. We only had a few things since we were only staying one night and my husband grabbed our snacks and coffee and went to the car and I went to grab our bag and a roach crawled in. I took everything out of the bag to be sure we weren’t taking any bugs with us. By then I just wanted to puke! We went to the office for a refund and told the gentleman what had happened. He said he was sorry that no one ever complained about bugs before and we had to go through Expedia to get our refund. We left and while my husband drove us home I messaged Expedia to explain what happened and sent the pictures of the roaches as well. It’s suppose to get taken care of by the offline team to issue our refund. So STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL unless you don’t mind the roaches. There were two other guests, working men, staying there and the rest of the place was empty.

Felt misled by many positive reviews.
Just passing through; check-in at 11pm went fine; very pleasant clerk. Only picked this hotel at last minute due to the 7.2/10 rating (Hotels.com). Boy, we must've had the worst room on the property, compared to the ratings! I don't understand the numerous high and excellent ratings for this property. Unless our room is one that hasn't been "upgraded", yet. While our room was 'clean', with the normal amenities, there wasn't a modicum of "attention to details": walls had smudges, chips, unpainted areas where items had been removed from walls; baseboards and caulking showed signs of years of mopping pushed up against it; furniture had seen better days; tub drain dirty. I could go on as it's too easy to nit-pick when you notice a total lack of "wowing your customer", even if you run a budget facility. Here's a tip (at least in room 210!): paint the outside door and inside walls; use "Old English" (or equivalent) on furniture to cover the chips and scratches; really, really scrub all caulking, or replace it; use a fine brush on the AC, baseboards, caulking, corners, etc. These are basic cleaning tips that are inexpensive, and owners can clean "for free". The outside of the total building could use a power wash and fresh paint. But, then again, it would depend on whether the owners wish to go "above and beyond", or just "get by". I've stayed in better looking facilities at this price point.

Dirty, poorly maintained rooms. Keys repeatedly stopped working and I had to go back to the front desk for new ones multiple times. Not worth it unless you’re trying to save money at all costs.

like a Steven King novel
After a long day driving I needed a place to sleep. Hotel infrastructure was as-expected for the price. After I fell asleep someone knocked at the door and said that I need to pay $25 "pet fee" because I had a dog in i the room. I said that I had no dog and invited them in to inspect the room. After the person left I chided myself for inviting them in and I figured there was a 50:50 chance it was a druggie looking for money. I fell back asleep ... ... and was subsequently awakened again by someone banging on the door. This time it was the staff person who had checked me in. They said they had seen me walking a dog. I told them they were mistaken ... I have no dog with me ... I do not own a dog or any pet ... please come in and inspect the room. They did not come in the room, but walked away very angry muttering under their breath. Now I am honestly scared, wondering what kind of game/scam this is. 30-45 mins later ... approx 12:45 am ... another knock at the door. A third person asking me what had transpired. By this point I am in tears, ready to leave, and ready to go find another hotel. That person said they believed I didn't have a pet in the room and convinced me to stay. It took me 2 hours to fall back asleep again. I was up and back-on-the-road at 4:30 am. So much for getting some sleep. A very weird experience ... like a Steven King novel.

This place was scary. When I checked in I actually thought the motel was out of business. There was not 1 car in the parking lot. The (very nice and friendly) front desk employee came from offsite after I rang the bell at the front office to check me in. Based on the general condition/appearance of the builiding, I can't imagine more than a few rooms are actually used. The room was gross, a little dirty, but just extremely old and run down, weird smell. The ac and tv seemed to be in good working order, but I couldn't do it. After 5 minutes in the room, I left and never came back (despite 2 prepaid, non refundable nights). There was no way I would have felt safe/comfortable trying to sleep there

Unfortunately there are bed bugs and my wife and I were both bitten throughout our stay. The motel owner tried to provide a refund, but he said since we booked with Expedia, we could not. Don't use Expedia.
