Lobby is very nicely decorated, as are the rooms. Outdoor property (parking lot) is pretty small, the bathroom is a little dirty in nooks and crannies. But overall, it’s decent for the price.

The place is the dirtiest motel I’ve ever stayed at. There were years if soap scum in the sink in the bathroom. The shower curtain had a bunch of globs of dried nasty stuff all over it and the floor of the shower/bath was beyond filty with years of nastiness.

Property was above average for me. Clean, interior seemed well maintained, and modernized a bit. One issue I had was the height of the shower head. It was ridiculously low. And the faucet handle was weak. Should be replaced.

Not the best.
I was here visiting family and was told I could not have any guests for any reason I got a room that had a pool specifically so my nieces could swim and stay with me for a couple hours and have some room service. I couldn't do any of that. If you're here on business I guess it would be okay it was semi clean. But if you're here for family fun I suggest somewhere else.

When you arrive the first thing you'll notice is the smell. Right when you walk in it smells like smoke. TV didn't work and they couldn't fix the issue nor offer a solution. Maybe bring in another TV, have me switch rooms? Restroom was very small, the door couldn't fully open because it kept hitting the shower rod. The AC unit wouldn't allow me to turn on the fan mode which would of helped drown out the cars on the highway and the couple fighting in the hotel parking lot across from us. Night clerks staff was very engaging and friendly.
