They claimed i had no reservation even after showing them my confirmation. No offer of a room… nothing. I was forced to find another hotel at the last minute at much higher cost (weekend at tourist high season).

Disliked: Staff & service
I was treated horribly by the manager of this property. I made a reservation and then called the hotel to cancel about one hour later. The person I spoke to did not speak English very well but assured me that I would not be charged. Then they ended up charging me one night on my credit card. They refused to offer a refund.

Great little place to stay
Very quaint and clean hotel. We were on the second floor next to the maintenance shop and it was left open. The room was clean albeit a little outdated. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

Awful motel.
When we first arrived, we were checked into a dirty, smoking room. The room hadn't been serviced and looked like someone had just checked out. Also, I requested non-smoking. The second room was better, but there was ash and [what looked like] dog kibble on the bathroom floor. There was mold on the shower curtains at the bottom and the smoke detector had been completely removed from the wall (the wires left hanging). At one point during the stay, one of the men (the younger of the two I saw there) working at the hotel let himself into my room with their key. Just opened up the door for whatever reason. That was pretty upsetting, luckily I was fully clothed while on the bed. Also, at 7 am when I was packing up my car my room key decided to stop working entirely and no one would answer at the office. Luckily we had planned to be out most of the day but that was still very annoying. The bathroom window was faced directly into the parking lot of another business that was a level up - so whoever was walking by could look directly down into your window through the chain link fence. Parking was crap, if you got back too late you wouldn't have a spot and some were even double parking/blocking in others.

The room was not very clean, they charged my card twice, they were rude towards me but kind to my husband. My husband had to take pictures of the room to ensure that we were not charged for damages that were already present. He also brought in a blanket and pillow for me from the car because he did not feel comfortable with me using their linen's.

Worst stay
Manager was horrible, bad customer service. Unaware of late check out fee when specifically asked the night before what would be reasons why we would not get deposit back
