The hotel definitely needs major updates every wall in our room had some kind of stain, some outlets were missing the covers some lights didnt work the toilet barely worked we had to mess with it to get it to even flush anything there was another hotel being built right next door so construction was kind of annoying BUT it didnt have bugs and it was somewhere to sleep so if your looking for a cheap stay you definitely get what you payed for

I liked the room size, comfort of the bed, amenities of the room, and water temperature and pressure.
I disliked that both vending machines were partially broken, so at 2am at night, I couldn't get anything to drink, including water. I was also bitten twice in my sleep by ants. First night, I saw an alive ant on my pillow, second night in bathroom. In the airport, I noticed two red marks near my elbow. They were ant bites.
The outside is horrible because of the construction of a building right in the same parking lot. It's an eye sore. The indoor pool was closed for some reason also. The last night there was a very strong smoke smell in the 1st floor hallway.
Lastly, my room cards kept being deactivated for next to no reason. It's frustrating to have to go the the front desk 2 of the 3 days you've stayed there to get them activated again.
Overall a good stay and I would stay again if ever in that area. Nice front office staff.

Property was very run down; beds were fine, but the walls throughout the property were scuffed up, in need of paint; floors, corners and baseboards dirty; carpets stained and dirty throughout; bag of trash just sitting in hallway; carpets in hallways in need of vacuuming; someone stopped caring about this property some time ago.

Room was dirty. The wall between the beds has stains on it and the bathroom walls were dirty. The towel bar next to the sink could not be used because there was gooey stuff on it and the bathroom did not have bath towels. The room looked very worn, as did the entire hotel. Cost was definitely a bit pricey considering the condition of the hotel. Very disappointing and would never recommend.

There was no manager on duty for my 6 night stay. Hall smelled of drugs and cigarette smoke daily. A Larger party with soliciting and drug use happen in room next door to mine where I had to contact police to break up. Manager admitted his staff of only 2 were overwhelmed and felt in danger. Manager would not respond to many attempts to reach him off site. When he finally addressed the issue on my check out date, he made excuse after excuse and only offered 1day as a refund of my stay. Please I repeat please don’t sleep at this Motel. Travelocity please contact me.

This is a nice property tucked back in an industrial area which can make it a little hard to find. The room was clean and well appointed (fridge & microwave), the facilities were well maintained and the breakfast was amazing!! Made to order omlettes, make your own waffles (either regular or blueberry), french toast, eggs, hash browns, sausage, cereal, fruit, and many other items.
