I dont know what hotel these pictures are of but it's not of this one. Im not super picky. Im all about a budget, but this place was one of the worst rooms I've ever booked. It looked nothing like the pictures I saw when I booked it. The bed was the equivalent of concrete, the carpet filthy, and furnishings from Goodwill. Five minutes after I checked in, I took my keys back to the desk and checked out. And of course since I booked through Travelocity there is no refund but oh well. Live and learn. My advice, go elsewhere.

I was here August 3 to August 5, 2012 for Warped Tour in Auburn. All hotels closer to the venue were booked, so we stayed here. We got the room at a cheap price, which was a bonus ($85 per couple for 2 nights.) As I was traveling with another couple, we chose to share a "suite" room. The girl at the front desk was friendly and approachable. Upon checking in, we inquired into the room amenities, specifically cookware and table settings, as there is no breakfast area here so we brought our own. We were informed that there was only enough dishes for 2 people, which was an inconvenience, but there were 2 glasses and 2 mugs so at least we had enough cups. There were only 2 towels in the bathroom when we got to the room, but when we asked for more at the front desk, they were provided without hassle. Before coming here, I read a review by a woman who said that the shower was too small, but I am also 5'6 and 125lbs (the smallest of my travel mates,) and none of us had a problem with the shower size. One small complaint would be that there was no counter space in the bathroom and only 1 mirror. Although the room had two beds, it wasn't really suitable for 2 couples to share. The beds were kind of hard, but I had a comfortable enough sleep. On another note, it was next to impossible to locate the vending machines despite confusing signage, and we didn't see an ice machine anywhere.

Overall, my stay here was decent. The hotel is right off the freeway kind of in the middle of nowhere, but the rooms were quiet and there was free wifi (although it cut out every few minutes.) I asked travel mates for their input, and we agreed that the hotel is a 2-2.5 out of 5. It's not the worst place I've stayed.

House keeping, Sandra and Crystal are just 2 of the maids here, but you will never forget them if you meet them. They have a very rare quality about them and that is, they take pride in their work, and the rooms are very clean. If you need something, they will actually stop what they are doing and help you. They are friendly, and ever ready to help, Crystal makes it a point to greet and know her guests, and she greets her guests every day she is here. Sandra makes sure she treats everyone equal and always has a smile on her face. I have seen some of the stuff they have to clean, and they do it without complaint, they clean up stuff I wouldn't touch!! If I owned a hotel, I would do whatever I had to do to hire these 2. If you stay here, make sure you tip them well, i'm sure the pay for housekeeping isn't what is should be so help them out and tip them, they care and make the stay here more enjoyable. My dogs love them and are happy to see them. I give 10+ to Sandra and Crystal. These 2 ladies could run this place, crystal should be in management, she's been here 15 years and knows this place inside out.
Rachel and Tera; are friendly too, but Crystal and Sandra Rock!
Nichole in the office is top noch! She know's what shes doing, shes friendly, outgoing, and funny. If you have an issue that needs taken care of see Nichole she will make sure you are treated with respect and she get's the job done.
Night guy Brandez, He is super friendly, and takes care of the night shift. He also takes pride in his work, he is always in a hurry to get things ready and set up for the day shift. He keeps an eye out for you, and he goes out of his way to help. He is always willing to help.

I gave this motel 3 stars because it was fine for what my husband and I needed - a last minute room that allowed cats and was cheap.

Pros: relatively clean, kitchenette, basic cable, close to the interstate, allows dogs AND cats. affordable, military discounts.

Cons: housekeeping is only once a week unless you pay for more visits, loud tenants, shower is cramped for even a 5'6 125lb woman, little to no toiletries provided, rock hard mattress, tiny room, no breakfast offered.

My husband and I were moving out of our apartment and had access to our storage unit with all our pillows/blankets/toiletries, so for us this place worked out fine since we could make up for the cons with our own stuff. But if you're looking for a hotel "experience" with regular housekeeping and relaxation, look elsewhere.
