Looks Decent, Functions Like a Headache
Let’s be clear: this place could be fine… if basic operations actually worked.
The good (credit where it’s due):
Naomi and David at the front desk are the only reason this review isn’t a complete demolition. They were genuinely kind, apologetic, and tried to fix problems they didn’t create. Breakfast (6:30-9:30am weekday) is passable (waffle, proteins, whole fruits, yogurt), and the bathroom is relatively clean (no mold), white, fresh linen. Free EV parking (bring your own plug) in the generous parking lot. That’s about where the positives end.
Now the reality:
* The room reeked of dog. Not subtle. Not “maybe.” Full-on soaked-into-the-carpet smell — despite being told pets are only on the first floor. Either that’s false or no one cleans properly.
* Air quality was so bad (stuffy) we had to leave the door and tiny window open to cross ventilate just to breathe. Our nose started running every time we were in the room.
* Beds are labeled “full,” but feel like they were shrunk in the wash. Two people = uncomfortable night.
* No elevator + terrible layout = hauling luggage like an obstacle course. Long corridors, badly placed stairs, zero luggage carts. That’s not budget — that’s poor management.
* Half the room didn’t work. Microwave and lights required rearranging furniture like we were rewiring the place ourselves.
* comforter is VERY thin. Poor quality.
* Housekeeping? Didn’t show. We were gone all day. No excuse.
* TV isn’t smart — feels like 2010. If you want Netflix, bring your own setup.
* black out curtain is nice except it’s off the rails so it lets light in
* Hair dryer is basically decorative.
* Hinge on the fridge door was falling apart - safety issue
* Breakfast eggs = powdered disappointment
* No decaf tea (small, but come on)
The biggest issue? Staff inconsistency.
Night staff (younger crew): professional, helpful, human.
Day staff (older, more mature lady and men): rude, rigid, and borderline hostile.
We were offered a late checkout (because of all the issues), but sadly had to argue with the day staff to honor it. That pretty much sums up the experience — one team trying to help, the other undoing it.

Bottom line:
This place looks acceptable on the surface, but once you’re in, it’s a string of avoidable problems: poor maintenance, bad layout, inconsistent service, and questionable cleanliness.
Are the reviews legit? Depends on your luck. Which room you are assigned and which crew serviced you. We had room 218. That’s why you see some reviews highly rated while some guests gave extremely poor ratings. And, it’s a motel, not hotel. You get what you pay for so adjust your expectations.
