The property is fine if you are looking to save money. But it is bare bones. No extra touches. Example, no tissues. Walls are bare. Quality is below what I expect from a 4-star facility. 4 out of 10, maybe. 4 out of 5, never.

Not bad for a motel

We were on a weekend ball trip with my daughter. It was good for one night and very clean and remodeled rooms. Outside environment was a bit sketchy but we didn’t have any issues

When I arrived after a long trip, the room was dirty, infested with cockroaches, and had no hot water. I reported the issues to Expedia and requested a refund for one night so I could move to another hotel, but they denied it even after I provided photos. To make things worse, I was abruptly woken up the next morning by a loud knock a hotel staff member rudely told me to leave because they claimed the night wasn’t paid. I showed him my receipt and he left without even apologizing. Completely unacceptable. I would never stay here again.
