The staff were friendly and helpful, and I appreciate that very much. The facilities were another story. First impressions are important--the front door to the lobby was partially our of order Our room did not have a smoke detector--just the socket where it should be. The tops of the edging titles in the bathroom were dirty, with small debris along the edges and corner or the bathroom. There was no bar soap in the bathroom, and only one plastic cup with the ice bowl. I had a do-not-disturb sign on the door until we left the first morning around 9:10 but took it off when we departed for the day. When we arrived in the evening, our room had been untouched. Also, no Bible in the room, and the front-desk attendant said they are not placed in the rooms. Motel rooms are not complete without Bibles.I did like the carpet in the stairwells, and we used the stairwells frequently. Overall the quietness was good, and the air conditioning worked great. The beds were quite comfortable.Thanks for allowing me to point out some items that need serious attention.

The hotel is nice but we didn’t sleep. The next door neighbors to your right were arguing all night. The walls in our room is very thin. You can hear people talking on the other side of the room.

When we checked in I found that the bathroom was not cleaned at all. We were given another room but the AC was blowing hot air so they decided to clean the bathroom of the previous room and we had that room for the two nights. Very dissatisfied.

Worst hotel I’ve been in.

They gave away our room with 2 queen beds and we had to take a single bed. The 1st room the AC was broken and it was 75-80 degrees. The second room the toilet ran all night, the toilet seat was so loose it moved off the side f the bowl when lifting the seat. There’s an article of clothing on top of the safe and one of the wash cloths looks dirty. We could feel the springs in the mattress all night and woke up sore. The AC in this room will go as low as 60 degrees, but doesn’t seem to get under about 70 degrees. The AC would run 3-5 minutes then shut off 3-5 minutes cycling all night with the sound of the toilet running. Terrible breakfast. There’s a sign that sat says “Egg Sential” on one of the bars, but don’t expect eggs. What little they have is all carbs and no proteins.

Waited 30 minutes to check in. There was a sign that said “be back soon!” Then gave a us room that people were in. We walked in a room that had people lying in bed. Guy at counter said it was third time today. The man who checked us in rode elevator with us and was swearing and saying “Jesus Christ” in front of my kids. The room was old and dirty. Hair in tub and on bathroom floor and toilet. Cobwebs in corners. We ended up leaving because it was so bad.
