He was manager during Sunday morning , it’s look he feel awkward , just cuz I asked him where Dunkin’ Donuts nearby he don’t know the answer ! He could have better how arrange he must be understand ?
This property is absolutely horrendous. It looked really sketchy upon arrival but we still went ahead and checked in, got the room key, but upon entering the room…we immediately did a sweep and was like hell no. Place is falling apart. Literally part of the wall in the bathroom was missing. Black mold questionable. I honestly think this place could be condemned.
First of all the room smelled nasty like cigarettes the knobs for the hot tub didn’t work it seem dirty I had to leave and go buy air freshener and cleaners to clean. The bathroom window took us forever to be able to lock. Someone on the upstairs bathroom took a shower and the water leaked down to our bathroom. The blankets were stain. Then in the morning the room next door was blasting music super loud. $140 a night was to much for that place it needs to be closed down and re do had the cleaning ladies pushing the cleaning supply’s and blankets in a shopping cart I mean horrible.
It’s fine if you’re just looking for a cheap place to sleep for the night. The property really needs to be updated. The worst part was my room reeked of cigarette smoke, which was absolutely disgusting. Maybe they have non-smoking rooms, I didn’t ask. They could definitely use new beds, mattresses, and bedding as well.
This place was so disgusting! So many broken things and patched wall work. The shower did not work besides mostly hot water. When I tried to put it more cold barely any water came out
The ceiling had water damage. The AC had mold. The bathroom was peeling. The ceiling was peeling. The blankets and sheets had burn marks and was not clean.
Rooms where dirty beds sheets and the bed it self had stains all over the towels we got where dirty the hot tub was ok had to clean it the parkikg is the only thing that was perfect

Nice discrete spot to go, walk right outside your door to fresh air. Quiet area local to attractions in the area.
The room was clean the couple nights. I see there, they also allow pets, which is nice for pet lovers. The parking is good for truck drivers versus regular people. The air of ventilation is good. They have a bathroom window. You can open up as well as an AC to kind of like get the air flowing through if you wanna like kind of air out your room. Also, I like the fact that they have smoking and non-smoking for people who do like to smoke. It makes it comfortable further stay which is not allowed in a lot of facilities. Overall a decent place to stay is the Access on and off the highway also

They’re very respectful people, convenient and they have smoking and non-spoken rooms, which is good for people who do smoke.
