"The motel room was clean but smelled musty, and our room was right next to the noisy ice machine. We had a hard time sleeping. Don't stay here.2018-03-13"
"The motel room needed a facelift, and the carpet was dirty. It was nice having a microwave and fridge, but the AC was noisy. The bed sagged, the bedsheets were too short, and there was no extra blanket in the room. Poor water pressure in the shower. The vanity area was small, but I liked having it outside the bathroom. Nice grounds and awesome staff.2016-04-05"
"Good location, and the price was right. My room needed improvement. I had trouble with the sink, which was repaired. The AC made a funny noise that was annoying at night. My room was never cleaned until late afternoon, which was also annoying. Motel employees were nice and accommodating, though.2015-03-08"

"The fluorescent light under the TV in the living room fell down to the desk. I reported it and a maintenance man just taped it back up to the TV; it fell down again 5 minutes later. The checkout clerk didn't seem at all concerned. Nice hotel otherwise.2016-02-21"
