I could get over the fact that 3 of my towels and my bedsheet were dirty upon arrival. But it’s unacceptable that some man who never identified himself just entered my room and said he needed to fix my air conditioning even though I didn’t have any issues. He never introduced himself, didn’t say hello, and didn’t even say that he was maintenance. If the air conditioner in my room needed to be fixed then he should’ve called my room to let me know, or left a note on my door, or better yet, maybe don’t put people in rooms that need maintenance without notifying them. I could have been in the bathroom or shower and he just decided to let himself in my room. That is UNACCEPTABLE for ANY reason! The room also smelled like cigarettes even though I booked a non smoking room. The window shade didn’t fully cover the window, so there was always light in my room at night. There’s a lot of road noise here as well. The positive is that there’s 2 grocery stores, a gas station, and mcdonalds within walking distance. I don’t ask for much with motels because you get what you pay for, but that doesn’t excuse that man entering a WOMAN’S room uninvited.

Front office staff (at night) were very nice. The room was clean, however there were cigarette burns/stains on the toilet seat. The shower curtain was very dirty. We booked a king room but was given a queen. We were so tired from driving it was not worth changing rooms. Gated parking was a plus.

room was so small and cramped for space my spouse did not have room for her walker. We had to leave, take a room elsewhere and forfeit our deposit as manager refused to give a refund. This despite the fact we could not use the room and didn't use it at all. Just looked at it. Worst experience of our trip.
