Rien

Chambre sale, draps sales, de la poussière et nourriture des séjours précédents restants. Chambre très bruyante comme si vous dormiez sur l’autoroute. Il a fait aussi froid que dehors, le chauffage marche très mal.

This was not my idea of a 7.5 star rating! I won’t be booking there again! I wish I would have taken pictures!

5.0

The outside was clean and maintained very well. The wall decor in the room was nice.

The room didn’t have a fire alarm! The floors sweat the entire time. The bedding was thin and had cigarette holes in the blankets. The tub filled with water while taking a shower so the drainage system isn’t great. We booked a two bed room and only one of the beds sheets were clean. The bath towels weren’t clean, thank God I had my own!

Expectations far exceeded, a great value with no downsides or catches!

10.0

The room was very clean and recently remodeled (especially the bathroom and shower!), the bed was comfortable, the AC was cold, and the Wi-Fi was fast. All for an extremely reasonable and affordable price. The location was fine, not sketchy at all like some other motels, and close to everything I needed. Really, if you're just looking for a place to comfortably sleep at night, this place is a fantastic value.

Checking in through the bank-teller style window was a little odd, but I understand it, and it didn't really bother me or inconvenience me in any way.

The old saying you get what you pay for pretty much sums this place up. It’s a dump

1.0

Room reeked of cigarette smoke and incense. The floor was filthy and was covered with condensation after just a few hours of being in the room. Shower was setup backwards so you had to select cold to get hot water. Front desk was very familiar with the issue as it was the first thing they suggested when called about the hot water not working. We would have gone somewhere else if it wasn’t so late by the time we got to the hotel. I would not stay there again if it were free
