I reserved a room with 2 queen beds. When I arrived they said they didn’t have any. I was traveling with my husband and 2 children so I needed the 2 beds. I said I had to find another hotel and when I asked for a refund they said I would have to go through Expedia. Expedia contacted them to confirm this and they denied my refund. I’ve had to go through the HUGE inconvenience of finding a new hotel at the last minute and have now spent over an hour dealing with Expedia only for them to deny my refund

We stayed in a room facing the highway. Very loud. The breakfast area was out of most items that they normally have. We stay here regularly, but this time they disappointed us a little. Staff was great!

The property was clean but old and worn. Had a lot of flies in my room. The pillows were too small and there were only two of them. The noise from the highway was constant and it’s obvious they don’t have any noise suppression in their rooms. It was fine for an overnight stay, but I don’t think I’d want a longer stay. But the staff were pleasant and I do think they’re trying hard to make it a pleasant experience, but it just falls a little short.

This hotel did not meet my already low expectations. I knew that booking this stay would mean staying in a budget motel. I expected no amenities with few or no comforts in the room. I was just hoping for clean. We stayed in a room at the front of the property. The noise from the Interstate 5 freeway was pretty noticeable. The “non-smoking” room reeked of cigarette smoke. It was a lingering scent that just when you thought you had actually gotten used to it, you would move in the bed and get a hefty, nauseating whiff of it wafting up at you from the linens. We were told that there was free WiFi, but the network name given never appeared for us to try to make that connection. (There were no other neighboring networks available, either, password protected or not.) The toilet ran unless you did the little jiggle of the handle after use. Sometimes it would run randomly for a short time without being used, just for fun I suppose. This was all the more noticeable because the bathroom door did not shut completely as it was broken. Not only was the door coming off one of the hinges, but the actual door was coming apart. The inner core was separating from the outer laminated panels and one of those prevented the door from closing completely. The smoke detector was placed on the window sill after having fallen off or being removed from the ceiling. So much of the room gave off the feeling that the property is not well maintained. I could go on but am limited to this amount of characters
