They treated us like we were their friends. Norman Bates checked us in and helped us with the TV. I forgot a housecoat on the bed and called back to see if she would mail it to me as it would be 6 months before next Dr. appointment. She was very kind, took my info and said she would check the laundry. I did not get her name.

I got the impression that they don’t really like one-nighters. I thought that all motels provide something in the morning other than coffee. So I checked out early in order to find breakfast.

Terrible!
By far one of the worst hotels we’ve stayed in. We booked two rooms because we have a big family. We booked these due to how well it was rated on hotels.com. I think the high review has to be false. Immediately walking in the door the hotel was filthy. Doors were open, through the hallways. Almost appearing as ppl were living there. Carpet and surface areas were disgusting. The ppl at the counter were talking about there relationships to a guest. The place smelled of pot everywhere. Both rooms were nasty. We had old food under our beds. Nothing was clean. The other room had roaches. There were dogs barking all night down our hallway. This is definitely not a place for your family to stay. As long as we have used hotels.com we were very disappointed to see how terrible this place was and then no help from anyone to try and get a refund to stay somewhere else. I would not recommend this hotel. Stay at the holiday inn next door. Much nicer.
