Clean, basic, needs updating. First impression is not positive, small lobby. Hall carpet needs replaced. Very basic, utilitarian type room. Okay for a quick sleep on our way to Michigan. Not a lot of offerings for breakfast, but did have good coffee.

Outside area, building looks tired, in need of renewal. The room was beautifully renovated, very clean. Breakfast are was nice, good variety. Only suggestion is to install a safety bar in the shower/tub area as the tub floor was very slippery

I will say that the bad was clean and the shower was hot, was quiet, those are most important. The room had no carpet- just a vinyl floor. Had to unplug the fridge to use the microwave. The outlet next to the sink kept "losing" my plugin for my flat iron, so I had to hold the plug into the outlet,let the flatiron heat up,let go of the plug, use it for a few minutes, then start the process over again. The towel that is used as a floor mat had a hole and a stain. The bathroom was very small, if you were sitting on toilet you could not open the door. (Yes, I know- who opens the door while using the toilet? That was just to tell you how small bathroom was) Went to the front desk and asked for another pillow. The manager was on her personal phone, told us "No pillows!" We asked her where ice machine was, and she pointed down the hall.
The stairs were filthy, no idea how long it's been since they have been vacuumed. The security chain to lock the door was broken. On a one night trip, we never pack shampoo/conditioner. Was only provided a 1/2 full bottle of shampoo. No conditioner. We have no idea what was for breakfast, we didn't want to find out. We went to I-Hop down the road. We have stayed in a lot of hotels. This one was by far the worst!

I reserved this hotel in advance 2 rooms and they were pay at property. When I got to the front seat to check in the lady has told me that it was already paid for. However on my Expedia account it still said pay at property so somehow the hotel charged my card I had on file. And when I explained to her that she can not do that when It is pay at property she told me there was nothing she could do and the manager said the same thing in the morning when I spoke with them. My brother-in-law was actually supposed to pay for one of the rooms on his card and so the told me well he will just have to give you the money back then. So my thing is that they don't understand that they can’t just charger someone’s card without proper authorization. They did not understand this I couldn’t get it through to them I understood my brother in law was going to have to pay us back that was already being sorted out. But they can’t just charge people when they feel like it. It was bull the whole situation I wasn’t planning on using that card for the hotel but I guess whatever we will just never stay there again. Also didn’t help that breakfast there wasn’t kid friendly cereal or different options for them other than a waffle. Then the bedding had stains on it both beds. Shower presser sucked.

Everything here was terrible. I don’t write reviews on things but this hotel put a bummer to the whole weekend. All the sheets, pillowcases and the few towels that were in the room had some sort of stain. One of the towels looked like somebody used it for a Kleenex and just folded it back up. Nowhere to hang towels. There were holes in the Sheetrock in multiple places. No battery in the smoke detector (I didn’t go looking to see if there was, just happened to look up and see the door that covers the battery was open and there wasn’t one in it. Side tables were sticky. The installation stickers were still on the tub and the toilet but both were clearly not just recently installed before our stay. My only advice to you if you’re thinking of staying here… don’t!

Liked the accessibility to the Interstate. Our bathroom door was broken so it wouldn't close plus the chain bolt on the door was missing so it wasn't a secure room.

Good hotel if stay for one night. You carry your luggage upstairs, no elevators. Paint peeling from walls and rusty doorknobs, etc.

The room looked remodeled
- Beds were really comfortable
- Bathroom really nice shower/bathtub looked brand new but no treads so you can fall easily no matter your age and no towel racks or bars in the bathroom/shower.
-Sink outside bathroom weird.
-Hairdryer is not mounted under the sink
-Coffee packets but no coffeemaker
-Door catches doesn't close all the way have to really pull it.
- Sign on front door saying no vacancy that's ok I had a reservation but I walk in no pleasantries of hi, hello just can I see your driver's license
-The lady that checked me in didn't tall me about the free breakfast and where it is or times!! I got this hotel because a lil closer and free breakfast but never got told the times so missed out.
- Had to drive around the back to park and the back door has not enough room to try to use your key and open with all your belongings.
-Back door is just one BIG step not 2-3 at least
-Railing at backdoor going upstairs is not SECURE it is falling off with any weight on it

Room seemed clean enough. The bathroom was the smallest I’ve ever seen. The sink was in the main room and there was no counter space. There was no place to hang a towel while in the shower. The only place to set it was on the toilet….ewwww! Really need to add towel bars to the bathroom. It advertises a hair dryer, but better bring your own. This one was stashed under the sink, not hanging on the wall like all other motels. After you plug it in there’s no place to set it, so it hangs in front of the sink. Then it has only one speed…low. Also, there was no clock in the room. Would be nice to be able to see the time without having to check the phone.

This property is dated but in the midst of an upgrade. We somehow got a smokers room and we don't smoke, could have been my mistake. We were already unloaded so we just got some air fresheners at Walmart. Everything was functional, frig, a/c, microwave. Beds were clean and comfortable. Hot water took a long time... Not sure why. They provided free fountain drinks, coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the office. Office staff very friendly and accommodating.

It's a cheap place to stay. If you stay here, you will wonder what it would have been like to stay across the street at the other motel. But at least it's cheap ..!!

It was advertised that BREAKFAST was offered and turned out to be cereal and cheap honeybun...nothing hot!
I checked into my room I had an IRON and ironing board, went shopping and returned to IRON missing. I asked the clerk about my iron and he said there's only 10 irons at the hotel. They took my IRON!
NO ELEVATOR...I stayed on 2nd floor and never mentioned.

Good Value motel in good location near gas stations and restaurants. Our double queens had refrig and microwave. Heater/Air cond was good. Bathroom was small and door handle loose with missing screw. Hair dryer not mounted, but OK. Spent 4 days but had to have keycards ienable each day.

Place was very old. Rooms were updated some but our door had an inch gap towards the bottom. It was fine for a quick one night sleep but we probably won’t go back.
