“Bed bugs in room 201”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 1, 2012 via mobile

Room could have been cleaner, need to vac carpet better, had straw under a/c unit. At 400am I was await by bed bugs. GOT a picture show guy at front desk, he act like it was no big deal. Wild . I just hope there is no bed bugs are not going home with me this week, that would be a big headache.

“FLOODED”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 16, 2012

If you want to be YELLED at by the General Manager and ignored by the Front Desk manager then this is the place for you. On a recent stay my room had a leak in the bathroom. I called the front desk and informed the person on duty ( FRONT DESK MANAGER). He told ME to come get some towels. It was pouring rain outside so I told him "you should bring them to me" which he did.. He never came in to check the leak, The following morn I awoke to a FLOODED room.. I was to stay for 10 days but after not being able to shower or use the restroom without walking thru water I decided to leave and ask for a refund or discount. I was then YELLED at and told it was my fault. I usually stay there a couple times a year for 1-2 weeks at a time but NEVER again

“Avoid”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 10, 2012

I would avoid this place at all costs. Our room was not very clean at all, and there was nobody available to help us. Our room was only equipped with 3 hand towels, one of which was dirty. The bathroom ceiling had become water logged at one point and painted over instead of fixed correctly. Only half the lights in the room worked, the bed sheets had stains on them, and the stains on the carpet indicated that the building had been flooded recently. Had a very pungent odor to it as well.

The only good thing about this room was the hair dryer which I personally used to dry myself after a hot disinfecting shower.

Room Tip: A tip? Go to a hotel in a bigger town. Nothing stays open here past 10pm other than Walmart.

“Okay, but nothing more”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 4, 2012

Our stay at this lodging was convenient to the dive shop where we were diving.
We were among 10 friends getting together.
When registering for this Econo Lodge, the description stated that there would be a microwave and mini fridge. There was no microwave and the fridge did not work. Very much a problem when one is buying lunch for the next day. The staff did take our food and place it in their large refridgerator.
The bed was fairly comfortable.
The air conditioner was great.
The employees were o.k.
Some of the fixtures in the bathroom were very much in need of repair.
Good supply of hot water. Temperature of water could burn an unsuspecting bather.

“Keep going”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed June 17, 2012

This motel was clean but that is about all I can say positive about it. The roooms were small, the lobby was small and the breakfast was almost to small to find. There was coffee, donuts and english muffins, period. There were two small tables with 2 seats each for eating breakfast so apparently they won't expecting you to linger long. The rooms were dark and old. The worst part though was we were on the first floor and every time the people above us walked we could hear it so it wasn't a restful night. For the price it was a big disappointment and if we hadn't had reservations ahead I would have kept going. And don't bother to reserve ahead because I was charged more than people walking in getting a room. So if you are looking for a comfortable nights rest this isn't the place.
