The morning we were leaving we overheard a guest who was staying in room 122 that his wife had been bitten by bedbugs and he showed the desk clerk the bugs. The breakfast kitchen area is also unkept with both waffle makers broken. Upon checking out, I told the owner about the garbage and his response was "oh".

Another hotel I made a last minute reservation for due to driving throughout our vacation and not…read moreknowing arrival times or how tired we would be. I searched for cheap, pet friendly hotels that were not poorly rated and this place was included so I booked it. We arrived late, probably close to 1:30am if I remember correctly. This exit off 95 had all hotel chains and restaurants. Everything was a ghost town by the time we arrived. That's okay because we already ate and just wanted to relax. Check in was easy and quick. The woman who assisted me was great. I was given our keys and went back to meet hubs and the pup. Hubs has this assumption that hotels are better if the doors to the rooms are located inside as opposed to outside the property. The entrances to the rooms were located inside so good so far. However, the door from the side of the hotel we went into was not locked like most hotels, where you have to swipe your key in order to open the door. No big deal here. We get to our room and you can tell it's pretty old. The room felt stale, if that makes sense lol. The refrigerator leaked water all over the floor and the door was open, probably because they were trying to defrost it? We collected our things from the car, made a drink, and relaxed. After chilling for a little bit, we got ready for bed. The beds were not bad. I think I paid $50 for the room so I really cannot complain about the accommodations. We woke up and were not sore from the beds so that is always a plus. I went to breakfast but it was nothing special. My only complaint was the bagels were stale. Coffee did it's job, the muffins were like everywhere else, hubs enjoyed the waffles, and the biscuits with sausage gravy were meh. Again, I appreciate any food included with my hotel room so I cannot complain. Overall, I would stay here again. Let me make it clear though for all the people out there who are very particular about their hotels-this is no Ritz but a decent place to stay to rest and relax. No shady characters either!

(That was in the Womens' restroom, and the Mens' restroom had a sign posted on the door which read, "Out of Order".)
