I booked this hotel online for me and my 2 kids (one teenager), when I got there, they gave me a room with a double bed not big enough for even just one of us. When I went down to the front desk to complain, the (rude) clerk told me that they could not do anything for me, and suggested... More

The price and location (closest one to a particular local college where we were attending homecoming weekend) drew us into this motel. The first-floor rooms are all direct entry from the parking lot. Most are in an L-shaped building attached to the lobby, while several rooms are in a separate building across the parking lot. A handful of rooms are... More

When we pulled up, we wondered what we had gotten ourselves into, as it appeared it was an older motel with only rooms with outdoor entrances. However, the man working at the front desk was very friendly, our room was close to the parking lot (on the 2nd floor with no immediate outside entrance), and the room was great. It... More

I'm usually more cautious, but in a hurry I booked this hotel as the price for a jaccuzi room was by far the best in area. Then I read all the bad reviews and wondered what I had gotten us into!! My husband and I decided to keep the reservation and take our chances. We were very pleasantly surprised. Our... More

We decided to go to a family party 3 1/2 hours from home. Grandparents took the kids so we got a night out. The only reason I picked this hotel was becuase it had a whirlpool in our room for $100. The place looks pretty run down and not in a great area but there was lots of shopping and... More

My room had a hole in the wall large enough for a small child to crawl through. The hot water faucet in the basin made a terrible racket unless turned up full. The heater thermostat didn't work; you couldn't regulate the heater and had to live with either freezing or burning up. The bathroom had ancient fixtures. Couldn't adjust the... More

We had a nice stay at this hotel. Our room had a balcony with a pond view. The room was clean. Housekeeper and the Frontdesk staff were very helpful. I recomend this hotel..

Peeling wallpaper, broken bathroom door, stained sheets, dirty towels, broken door chain, poor housekeeping. Didn't bother having the complimentary breakfast. After staying there ( we had prepaid and had no real choice) we were scared to eat there! Wish I'd taken photos, but who would believe it?! No longer the hotel that was pictured in the ad.

The window did not lock. the heat did not work, and when I picked up the phone to call the front desk about the heat the phone did not work. The bathroom walls and floor was dirty also different types of hair and soap scum in... More
