No fault of the property but visitors need to realise there are active drug users in the area. I'm comfortable with this but my wife, understandably, is not.
The pungent odour of pot in the room was almost overwhelming. I don't believe people smoked in the room but they definitely had it on their person. Main lights did not work.
Renovations in progress made the room seem unfinished. But they are on the right track. Highway and HVAC quite noisy. If you're city golf you'll be fine.
Staff were excellent. Room was clean and tidy. Door didn't fully seal.
Horrible experience. I booked a non-smoking room. The room I had, smelled cigarette and weed. The smell was terrible. The bathroom sink was clogged. There were red stains on the bathroom sink and all over the bath and some on the bed sheets. This was the filthiest room I ever had. I did not spend the night in there; too gross. I booked another room in another hotel. It was too disgusting to stay. The motel in general looks neglected. I couldn't imagine the state of the other rooms.
The first night I stayed the last at the front desk was super nice! I came back two days later needing to stay again and it was a different lady and she seemed like she really didn't want to be there. When I checked into my room the 2nd stay the shower faucet sounded like it was on and when I went to look at it there was hair in the tub and on one of the beds so I called the front desk and explained about the faucet and the hair and the lady was like so your hair is on the tub and on the bed and you want a different room. Sounding irritated that I bothered her. I told her no not my hair and she said come get another key so when I went back to the office she didn't say anything just slid the key over and turned away. I said thank you and she just kept looking away fromme and then said you got all your stuff out of the room right and I said yes I only just walked in the room so I didn't have time to unpack and she rolled her eyes at me and turned towards the back part of the office.
The place was filled with druggies and the room was filthy. The ground had rubbish all over the place. We spent one night. It was a horrible experience all around.

I reserved a non-smoking room and paid for it in advance and noted that it would be a late check in. We got there around 9:30 ish or later and the clerk gave us a smoking room! Not only that but also in an area that was behind the motel where it was crowded, no parking and not so good characters walking around. One gal was hunched over her trunk, trying to hide something, a dude with hoody on hanging out on a corner and some shady business happening in the corner of parking lot. It was enough to say that I wanted a refund and dodge the heck outta there BUT hubby got us a different room that the clerk offered us earlier when she checked and all rooms were booked. We got a remodeled room and the stay ended up not being too bad. Slept thru the night in a comfortable room. They had issues but in the long run, it all worked out.
We book the room and prepaid. We check in late around 11pm and they are overbooked. They rush to clean one room but it’s a smoking room. We were asked to wait for almost 1 hour. Off course the room is smoky. Front desk said they will waive the room fee because of inconvenience. I call two days later and they denied saying that and never call me back.
It seemed like a few homeless people were impacting this area…as in many areas. Everyone was very nice, the dog that barked all night next door was frustrating…and we have and love dogs….the room was newly renovated and really nice!
