It was horrible. My first room still had other visitors there. Imagine my surprise when I opened the door to another person's room. Thankfully they weren't there. When I went down there she didn't even apologize. My second room the lock was broken. The only reason I stayed there was because of the price. Obviously the price wasn't worth it. Next time I'll spend more for a decent hotel. This one was just terrible.
I would of given a 5 star except I returned about an hour after checkout to see if my iPhone charger was turned into the front desk... the employee told me to go on up to the room because the cleaning crew was up there. The 2 employees I asked about my charger seemed to be on drugs and gave some excuse where it was. Needless to say they both said they didn’t have it. I asked if it was found not if they had it.
Clean room.
Pros-
I’m positive I left the iPhone charger behind... obviously they needed more than I did.
Cons-
Bathroom sink was slow to drain.
Located not far from the interstate.
Room had refrigerator and microwave.
Cheap Sleep
I was given a non-smoking room on the first floor since no smoking ones were yet available and was told I could move when one was. Awesome. Didn't do it but the option was nice. Did find a used needle behind a night stand and when I showed the lady at the desk she reacted differently than I expected. Got a quick apology. Was not pleased about the internet prices and being able to only connect one device. I'm an IT guy....I need more than one device connected. The water pressure was almost none in the shower, and the window wouldn't close all the way making the temperature difficult to regulate. I was able to request and receive a late check out time and that was nice. Dan at the counter overnight was very helpful when I had some questions and needed a few things. Overall decent experience.
The room had decent amount of space to allow for comfort.
In the past I had given up on this motel chain but when the hand of sleep tugs at your eyelids, you take what you can get and quick.
The receptionist at the front desk seemed nice, but not very caring. I had to ask what room we were in because she handed us the key cards and didn't tell us what room they were for, nor was it written on the card sleeve.The first room we were assigned smelled like mold. We didn't stay long enough to find any, and requested another room. The second room didn't smell like mold, but we did find mold in the bathroom before we left. The floor on the bathroom had visible mold in it.This may have been because of what looked like remodeling, but the first room wasn't near the remodeling area. The pool was nice, with the water being the perfect temperature for the weather outside, it was refreshing. The walls were extremely thin, you could hear people talking in their rooms as you were walking down the hallway. The beds were comfortable enough, but there was lint all over the sheets (not a lot, but noticeable). The water pressure was great for the shower, but the bathtub filled up with water very quickly while taking a shower that we had to take a shower very quickly.
Considering that the mattress was a little rough, the sleep quality was good.
This location shares the same road/area with a 24/7 gas station. For anyone that’s a light sleeper, you may want to request a room away from the majority of the noise.
Overall: For the price, it allowed for a safe stay and good night’s sleep.
