The location of the motel was satisfactory. It was close to most of what I wanted to be near. However, it was the little things that made the stay less than satisfactory. When I made the reservation it asked me if there was anything special that I would require. I asked that a non slip tub mat be there for my use. It was not. I had to travel to the WalMart to purchase one for my safety. Yes there was a grab bar in the tub, but it was not sufficient. The toilet in the room was not properly installed and it rocked and made lout noises. To get ice you had to go in the bar far away from the room. Parking was difficult.

We didn't get to make the trip because my girlfriend/travel companion is 8 weeks pregnant and caught the flu. Even though I begged them to not charge us the fee for not being able to make the trip, they charged us $232 anyway. We will NEVER stay at this hotel, ever

We left after 1 night. The hallway smelled of crap and were not clean, bathroom toilet didnt flush, baby cried all night while they walked it in the hallway, AC smelled of urine when it was turned on and the bed was made with sand in it. I asked for a ground floor and was told they didnt have any other rooms available.

As we entered there was a large sign stating-This is a non-smoking facility(?) As soon as you enter the bldg it smelled like smoke. When we get to our room there is a small sign on the door stating "This is a non-smoking room". Upon entry it smelled like smoke. Not happy. We did bring our dog (beagle) so the room was pet friendly. I would rather the room smell like a dog than smell like smoke. We endured it since there are limited pet-friendly rooms. Other than the smell the room was clean and beds comfortable. My only other comment - The door to enter our section of the hotel had a magnetic swipe to use your hotel key. The door was ALWAYS open, not requiring your hotel key. I feel this is a safety hazard. ANYONE could enter the hotel.

Hallway’s and side entrances need new carpeting and care, in general. Breakfast is subpar, there is little selection and only one woman bears the responsibility of it.
