I wanted to give a 5 star review but the shower had several types of hair in it, all different colors which to me meant several customers. There was also hair in the sheets and the bathroom floor was dirty. Other than the that it was a decent place to stay.

We immediately felt unsafe arriving to the motel. This place is under major repairs/renovations. We tried to check in, but the key didn't work, and the door handle was rusty and stuck. The room was located a stone throw away from a major highway. We didn't feel safe enough to stay, so we explained our converters and requested a refund. However, the General Manager, only provided half of the refund. Who does he think he is to keep our money for no reason when we didn't even get to check in? This is so unethical and disappointing to do before the holidays.

After a long drive all we wanted to do was to be able to rest. Unfortunately the room that it was assigned to us the door didn't lock ,maintenance was sent to fix it. Then we tried to put the heater on because the room was cold and we realized that the heater was not working either 😒 so we called front desk and they sent maintenence again, by the time we were able to go to sleep it was past 10 pm and we were very tired
