The place is OK, but that is all. It is very hard to find. No sign. You have to enter by going through a gas station. Google maps the place wrong. Not environmental. Only plastic and paper cups. Price at $90 was a but high. Motel 6 quality, but a higher price
The unit is clean, well maintained. Breakfast offered not really great, prepared bagged food, no choices. Property adjacent to gas station where people can access freely the visitor’s parking lot though it has a 24 hour convenience store.
We were aware that check in time ended at 10 PM, and our arrival time was 9:30 PM. At 8 PM, we received a call asking if we were still coming; we confirmed we were about an hour away. 30 minutes later they called us again asking our ETA and how far we were. We told them and didn't get another call. Both calls had the caller ID listed as 'Blue Rhino' and not the inn name...?
Check out was 11 AM, but we started getting knocks from housekeeping starting from 9:30 AM. They came back three times between 9:30-11 AM, and got more aggressive each time. We called out each time that we were still in the room, and they left us alone the first two times. The third time after we said we were still in the room, there was a male voice loudly complaining about how we were still in the room, and a female voice laughing with him. Before we could open the door to tell them we were still inside, they opened the door on us. The door was latched so it didn't open completely, but the male housekeeper then said to the female housekeeper, "See they're still in there!"
We have never had an inn call repeatedly to demand our arrival time but then seemingly can't wait to kick us out the next morning.
Everything else was fine, nothing amazing but nothing too shabby. It was a little difficult to locate since it was behind a gas station.
Our room was super clean. We had a great stay. It smelled clean as soon as you walked in and the bed was very comfortable as well. Would definitely stay here again if I am ever in the area!
We are towing our son’s vehicle and stopped here. My husband very carefully parked in the overflow parking and before he was out of the pick up the desk clerk was out the door telling him to move. My husband calmed him down enough to go register after listening to his tirade of how we should have parked in the gas station lot (like we should know that). When we parked in the gas station lot, he came out to inform us we were not “straight “ enough. I am including photos of the empty parking lot and when I woke up at 1:30am it was the same. Did I mention it was raining? Our original plan was to try to book another night here. Obviously that is not going to happen.
This property seems overpriced for the location, amenities or lack thereof, and cleanliness. Greeted by a homeless man smoking weed upon entry to the lobby. No complaints about the man who checked me in. The parking was fine. As soon as I closed the door there was black smudges on it, that easily wiped away with a wipe so not sure why that was overlooked. Very small televison. In the same parking lot as a gas station and on a busy road. Not sure how they got so many “excellent” scores.
Not on the water
Expensive
Gas station is part of the motel
No view
Room.was clean
Manager wasrude regarding my service dog. Doesn't recognize dog for PTSD.
The room was fine. Pretty normal. The only negative thing I’ll say is that 2 days later I noticed a big stain on the comforter. I didn’t ask to change it since I had only one more night there. Overall I would stay again. I like the convince of the breakfast in a bag.
