I paid for the stay but wasn't able to stay here. I scheduled from an area with spotty cell service. I was billed, but no confirmation from Expedia. I drove an hour to the town and when I had cell reception I called the motel to find out if I actually had reservations and it went like this. "Hi, I'm calling to confirm my reserva..." "We're Closed.!" (This at 11 PM). "But I've... "Do you not understand We're Closed?!" End of conversation. Five minutes later, I got a text from Expedia confirming I was charged for the stay. Three weeks later, back from my trip, Expedia has not credited me for the charge for my non-stay. Either this operation is soon to be under different management or may have just fired the employee, but I would not take a room here unless you are standing in the lobby and have a chance to check the room before paying.

The staff person at the front desk is very rude and extremely unprofessional. I called him to let him know that I reserved an extra day, he answered come tomorrow and hanged up on me. It's hard to believe that this type of customer service still exists. I was staying at this place and trying not to have any interaction with the front desk person because the rooms are not bad but I don't have to deal with this type of people and I will no longer be staying here. I'll take my business somewhere else.

Room was very dirty. Are those blood stains on the curtains? Spiders in the windows. Gross filthy carpet too dirty for barefoot- to buy slippers. We asked to switch rooms but management refused saying all the rooms were the same. So all are just as bad, presumably. We changed hotels. Will not go there again.

Good value. The outside is attractive. Rooms are gradually being renovated. Some things in my room, like the carpet, were worn but other things had been updated. The bed was good. I parked in a carport under my room. It is in a quiet area but it takes a short drive to places to eat. Breakfast was basic. I would stay again.

Terrible service, outright lies on website
Website lies and says the front desk is 24 hour. It is not. I arrived at 1am and the front desk was dark and locked. I knocked and rang the bell and someone came. They were rude and tried to get me to go away but I insisted, as I had a reservation I had already paid for. Then they tried to charge me again until I showed my credit card receipt. Dingy, old room. But really it's the terrible service and outright lie about 24 hour front desk that got me.
