Don’t even bother
The room was freezing, the bed was loud and hard, you could feel the springs, the pillows were little squares that were lumpy. All you can hear is the highway all night and the wind comes through the door and under the door. Slept for a few hours and then couldn’t move much as my back was killing me. They are very rude. The first room I went into had a huge chemical smell that gave me an instant headache, I went back to the front desk and he was super rude about me asking for another room. The next morning when I came to pack up my stuff to leave, he’s smoking by my door and then in a condescending tone “is THIS room better for you?” Yaaaa sure. No refunds no nothing. So I paid for a room I didn’t even stay in

I paid for the stay but wasn't able to stay here. I scheduled from an area with spotty cell service. I was billed, but no confirmation from Expedia. I drove an hour to the town and when I had cell reception I called the motel to find out if I actually had reservations and it went like this. "Hi, I'm calling to confirm my reserva..." "We're Closed.!" (This at 11 PM). "But I've... "Do you not understand We're Closed?!" End of conversation. Five minutes later, I got a text from Expedia confirming I was charged for the stay. Three weeks later, back from my trip, Expedia has not credited me for the charge for my non-stay. Either this operation is soon to be under different management or may have just fired the employee, but I would not take a room here unless you are standing in the lobby and have a chance to check the room before paying.

The staff person at the front desk is very rude and extremely unprofessional. I called him to let him know that I reserved an extra day, he answered come tomorrow and hanged up on me. It's hard to believe that this type of customer service still exists. I was staying at this place and trying not to have any interaction with the front desk person because the rooms are not bad but I don't have to deal with this type of people and I will no longer be staying here. I'll take my business somewhere else.
