You get what you pay for, the rooms are pretty decent, there's lots of things to do as well like the bar next door and the town is very nice as well. I would definitely stay again. Give it a try, you'll be surprised how false and misleading some of these reviews are.

definitely coming for another stay

It's ok. The owner rude but Ms. Valeria is nice and always sweet. I think if it wasn't for her I wouldn't keep coming there... They need some security around at nite to much funny activity be going on.

It's a ok hotel

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST PATRONIZING this establishment. 
Read on to discover that their staff checks cash paying people in incorrectly without using someone else's credit card as a common practice. I was charged twice in the span of 30 minutes days after checking out and leaving the state.

The stay itself was mediocre at best. The hotel itself is old as are the rooms. In the rear of the property was a pile of old mattresses that appeared to have been there a while. Our car was also tampered with just outside our room. When reported to the front desk, they explained the cameras around the property would catch someone and they would let me know.

Moving on to the fraud that occurred once I left. Two full days after I checked out of this location I received two charges to my credit card, one in the amount of $154.48 and a second charge in the amount of $147.64, neither of which I authorized as I was over 400 miles away, checking into another hotel. 
When I called and spoke with Valerie, she identified one of the two charges and stated she would take care of it and what probably happened was someone checked in with cash and the clerk USED MY CREDIT CARD! I expressed this was not ok OBVIOUSLY and she didn't have a solid reason why that individual would have access to my information in the first place.

Bottom line here... DON'T STAY HERE, unless you like paying for other's rooms on your payment form. Thank you for reading. Wishing you a safe and magical day.

FRAUD! Untrained Staff Handling Your Credit Card Information

Pictures make it appear nicer than it is. I’d swear the lobby staircase has never been cleaned. We chose a cheap overnight for sleep so we could tackle the last leg of our trip to Florida. We booked a double online but when we got there he said single only for that price. After carrying our belongings in we were told all the single rooms were upstairs (no elevator, lots of stairs up) we paid the extra $$ and booked the double which has outside access and parking right outside your door. The entire hotel sits on a large hill and can be seen from the highway. 

In our room it looked as if the floors were updated recently, thank goodness because the rest left a lot to be desired.  Beds were “okay”.  Bathrooms need serious upgrade and we didn’t dare shower there. Refrigerator stunk and wasn’t usable. Trust me, photos make it seem nicer than it really was. 

This was positively THE LOUDEST PLACE I HAVE EVER STAYED IN. You hear the highway, every persons TVs and conversation around you, commotion outside all hours of the night and we were lucky enough to hear a very loud screaming child off and on all night & morning. 

No way I’d stay here again even though it was cheapest we found. We’d pay more for anything else. 

However, if you like to enjoy a cocktail there’s an attached “tavern” you can do that at which could be appealing for some.

You get what you pay for.

The place needed updating quite a bit. From the road in the dark it looked like a nice place, and I was tired, but I probably will not stay again. The help at the front desk was very nice. When I saw the room I considered cancelling it, but I was too tired. 

Not my choice the next time

There was a roach in the room. The room was dirty, especially the floor. We should have checked the room before we paid.  The pillows were terrible if you want to call them pillows. If you want to stay here make sure you check the room first, especially for roaches.

Terrible place!

Nothing like the pictures, pictures show updated rooms, lobby etc. This was a sad excuse of a motel. Very sketchy area, was laughed at by the employees when I asked if they had inside rooms like the pictures showed. And room was disgusting, run down and shower head was coming out of the wall.

STAY AWAY!

If I could give zero stars I would. After arriving to the hotel at 11pm things just got worse by the minute. While the sole gentleman there was kind, that's all I can say about this place. The lobby had a smell of smoke, age, and dirt but checked in anyway and got room key. ROOM 310. As we ventured thru the breezeway it had every element of a Dateline Show! Dark, sketchy, dirty, everything. Upon entering the room, I was mortified. PLEASE KNOW MY STANDARDS ARE NOT HIGH, so even for me this was WHOA. Room was filthy, horrible smell smoke, dirt, and Lord knows what...Floors felt like laminate covering a sink hole, lamp shade still with plastic that was covered in grime and some liquid, holes in the wall, LARGE dry wall holes, door felt like the wind would bring it down,..then the bathroom!
Looked like blush was wiped on the wall
In 4 huge areas (or blood, let's say blush) towels dirty and obvious excessive wear, I think if used you'd come out dirtier than when ya went in...
I will say with certainty this was the worse hotel I have ever seen. It was so bad we literally were in little room long enough to see enough and headed to the front desk.
Asked for another room, none available so we literally walked away from $200 and felt 100% ok with that...ended up sleeping in the car with my daughter. It was so sketchy, and filthy, there was no way I could stay there with her! Literally she even asked about how safe we or our car was, and since I couldn't honestly guarantee anything we had to go! 
Avoid avoid avoid!! 
Worst hotel ever seen and I've seen some doozies. Just regret not taking pics, as you have to see this to believe that this is allowed and acceptable...(this was room 131)
DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
AGAIN PHOTOS POSTED FROM THE HOTEL ARE STOCK PHOTOS NOT ACTUAL PHOTOS.

It is right off the highway & advertises remodeled rooms— what a joke!  The carpet hasn’t been vacuumed in a decade. I came out of my dingy room to find 3 men sitting in the hall outside my door.  Later there was someone having a fight.  I bolted my door scared to death. Slept in my clothes & didn’t get in that shower (plus I only had one towel & no wash cloth). I wrote Choice Hotels & go a thanks for your feedback email. Now that I’ve seen these reviews it’s obvious they know about this franchise & don’t care. 

Unsafe & filthy

First I realize this is not the ritz but the WiFi was not working and the person at front desk just didn’t seem to care. I was told “some devices work and some don’t”. Then while in bed I kept getting bit by something so now I have insect bites all over my legs. Lastly in the morning a mouse decided to show up in the bathroom. I will not be back.
