    the room itself was not bad, but the floor was very dirty. there was and over amount of foot traffic all through the night. It was impossible to get any sleep. the next day when we returned to the room at 5:30 in the evening, the room had not been attended to, no trash emptying, no bed made, no fresh towels. We got our things and left, we could not spend another night in this place.

    Honestly it’s what you paid for ! $60 and it was a hole in the wall and the sheet has stains but once I asked the manager for new sheets he gave them to me . I was really scared never stayed in a place like that but honestly overall it felt so comfortable ! Didn’t wake up to no bed bugs . If you staying for a night or two and on a budget then it’s good to go . The ac/ heat didn’t really work that well.

    Great value for the money with weekly rates available. Good location and pet friendly. They offered coffee and breakfast on the go in the a.m. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Plenty of towels and toiletries. Friendly and courteous staff. Install a tissue holder in bathroom.

    2.5/5

    The young lady at check in was courteous and helpful. While I recognize this is a low budget motel, there are some expectations that guests deserve. Care and maintenance of anything reflect out beyond the owner and manager of a business (and family members also) into the community and beyond. No air conditioning in the hallway at check in. Hallway carpets very soiled. Poor lighting, old bed linens and curtains, yellowed and thinned out bath towels from over usage and no hand towels offered in guest rooms. The first time I stayed at this motel, coffee and an assortment of pastries were offered. Upon checkout, the office was closed so I dropped my key in the drop box. No coffee was on sight that and I do not recall a coffee pot in the room either. Not to be a feminist, but some things need a woman's touch to carefully design and give attention to details.

    1 to 2 star rating is being generous at this place . Stayed here to be close to the race track for Sunday night and it will be my first and last stay . Roaches in the room, foul smells everywhere in the hotel, carpet through out that looks like its never seen a shampooer , and enough sketchy riff raft to ensure you'll never want to return. $300 plus dollar for a weekend stay here is a rip off this should be a $50 a night stay at max

    OK stay if it's your LAST resort. The staff, owner, whoever the Indian fella at the front is - booked online, get to hotel and he claims he cannot locate my booking. Call booking while standing in front of him, they confirmed to him that I had an active booking for that night. He continues to LIE that he did not see it and was on the phone with them as well while I stood in front of him AND HANGS UP ON BOOKING CUSTOMER SUPPORT. I luckily was able to get canceled the same night and money returned the same night to book another room for another location. But he had the nerve to tell me AFTER he hangs up on them to come back and "we can work something out" on the prices. Come to find out from booking... THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY HERE AND THEY ARE INVESTIGATING HIS ACTIONS. He likes you to pay HIS raised prices at the location versus the lower booking price. Mind you, I have stayed prior to this, booked and stayed no problem. This was my second time and he pulled this. Have. Not. Been. Back. Since. Warning others.

    This was the scariest Motel I've ever checked into and didn't stay. Between the smell of the ACs that smell like mold and the cigarette smell we tried to deal with that. The window did not lock and when we came back from the race there were four very shady men that were a little iffy. I asked the gentleman at the front desk if I get my money back he gave me a check out slip not knowing that I had to contact you. And I'm trying to get my money back cuz we didn't stay there it was disturbingly disgusting.

    This hotel is under new ownership and I can’t wait to see the changes to come! We will go back for the hospitality alone! The property is older and in need of some updates but the new owners seem like the perfect people to get the job done. It is so convenient to the Raceway and Florence. We will be staying again for sure!!
