It was okay

While it was going good , we were disappointed about a few things . Uncomfortable bedding and there were water roaches coming up our drain , mind you we paid well over 600 for the “deluxe” room , floors felt sandy and the cleanliness just wasn’t there . There was dirt everywhere under the bed . We didn’t bring it to their attention because they were super sweet ! But it is unfortunate that we paid so much just for the deluxe room to Feel dirty & with water bugs

The location of this spot was great. The owners called me in advance to my stay. I notified them that my Wife and I would be coming in late and they really helped and worked with us on making sure we got in our room after hours. It was very convenient especially after a long day.

Room was spacious for 4 of us. But No hot water at all for 4 days. Mold in the bathroom ceiling. Front desk worker was rude. Very thin walls could hear everything! Had free wifi but never could get connected.

The stay was decent for the price we paid. Less than 500 for 4 night. The bed was lumpy and hurt mine and my wife’s back. We didn’t get any cleaning service until I asked for but was marked cleaned everyday. Ac quit working last night we were there and basically soaked everything in the room. But regardless of all this I’ve stayed at worse. There were clean sheets and fresh towels daily.

Was ok but not worth the cost paid

Bed was not comfortable at all and broken. The pillows were cheap as expected for a motel. The Internet was horrible. Had to turn it off to accomplish simple things on phones

Comfort Stay

Rooms are update and clean. Very comfortable bed, I like the convenience of parking in front of your room. Very friendly front desk lady. The only thing I didn't like was a $125 hold on your bank acct. that was like a week. A day or two would have been fine, but really a week!

Place was okay, bed was extremely uncomfortable I got barely any sleep. I was also charged $35 out of my incidentals for some reason without being given an explanation. While it was affordable for the reasons above I think next time we will stay at another place.
