The room was musty and smelled of cat urine. The floor was sticky and hadn’t been cleaned recently. There was a long hair on the pillow case and while the sheets were hopefully clean they were stained and should’ve been retired. The bed was comfortable though.

Great location. Could be nicest place in town but grounds, buildings and rooms in state of neglect, currently this one is on the very low side of the motel 6 chain

Rooms were good prices for a double bed weekly. Dark rooms though not much lighting. Had to check out 2 days early due to emergency and was told I couldn’t get refunded for the last 2 night then they tried charging me for the next 2 days on my card after check out date. When trying to call front office during any time of stay no one would answer.

The person at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. My room had everything I needed plus a comfy bed. I appreciated how quiet the hotel was and that the neighborhood allowed for good places to walk my dogs. Great place to stay; especially with dogs!

Avoid this hotel.
Check in with the virtual assistant / remote assistant wasn't very smooth.
Hotel room was grimy with dust on most surfaces. There was blood on the sheets of one of our beds. Let the front desk staff know this and they got me new sheets, tried to play it off as this is common at the hotel and said one of the maids must have bled on it on accident. Disgusting.
The room is extremely small, with the two beds touching the walls, including one bed butted up against the air conditioner, which didn't work well, with only about 1 ft between the two beds.
We were given less than one roll of toilet paper for a a three-day, two-night stay.
No cleaning service during the day and when I asked about it because we needed new towels, I was told they're too busy to service occupied rooms.
Homeless were in the parking lot, going through cars at night. Ice machine didn't work for most of the stay.
Location was about the only thing that was good. Shopping is close by with several good restaurants.
Even for being a more economical hotel, I'll pay the extra for better quality, better service, and even a better location.

You could get some better staff. Some people that understand and have some professionalism. Common courtesy communication skills is a must. Your people do not know how to communicate. They are rude. They sit on their phone while people guess stand there in line. They're just very unprofessional and young and rude. They also accused us of smoking in the room and which was false and is as a million other people that were smokers there but they accused us tried to put us out of the room. We call corporate and they came and inspected the room and found out that that was untrue but by the time they came and inspected the room my my conference was over when I paid for this conference. So instead of me going to all my workshop classes that I was supposed to that I paid for I had to sit up there and explain to your managers that we weren't smoking and they they didn't get until 12:00 started at 8:00. I missed the whole day which is $260 and I would like to be reimbursed for that

I stayed for 4 nights with my cat. When I first got there the room smelled like smoke so I asked for another room. But the air conditioner was not working in that room. They came over and tried to kick it on, but it was just not reliable enough for me to feel comfortable with, so I went back to the smelly room. We felt safe and it was comfortable enough. The sofa in the room was pretty dirty. I brought a bucket and rags and washed the floor by hand on my first night. It was pretty dirty, too. Interestingly, the smell in the room got better after I washed the floor. There were also some bugs in the room which my cat found entertaining. But for the price and the ability to bring my cat, I can’t really complain.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. The manager there is a scam artist
The manager there is a scam artist, I was there too enjoy my vacation and it felt like a prison cell.I booked my reservation three days in advance and the little manager saids to me ,there is no king suites and no fridge or microwave.Which the website advertises that there is.So the guy put me in two queen bed,with a neighbor who's was smoking god knows what.Was making very loud noises all hours of the night. For the six horrible days I stayed,pool didn't work,the snack machine had incrediblely old product, which were over priced,at that. The staff was just lazy and didn't clean my room,well.The room i stayed in smelt horrible and the roof started leaking water. The tv was busted, it had black line running through it.The water pressure was at it maximum low.I told the manager can i switch rooms ,he told me wait a few hours, when 90 percent of the rooms are empty, because it's off season,I just left a few hours ago and he tried to charge my cc for another two night stay. $146 dollars and twenty cents,don't trust management there.The best thing this company could do is fire head management.This was my vocation and this little prick ruined it.If you dont believe me,find out for yourself's.

The room and beds were very comfortable, although there was some plumbing noise. Breakfast was adequate: muffins, waffles, yogurt, boiled eggs... Nothing special or exciting. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The main issue we had is that there are two ice machines: the one on our floor was broken and the other was out of ice most of the time that we tried to get some. Being in a place that spends so many days being quite hot, they ought to consider getting another machine or two.
