For starters it was misnamed. The sign said Princeton Motel. Then the management was unkempt, sloppy and difficult to understand. The room was furnished with garage or rummage sale bedding which appeared to be unclean. The pillowcases were disgusting. The 2 chairs were stained, filthy, sticky, and tacky. The few towels we had appeared to be from a rummage sale. There was one small package of hand soap and a quarter full container of liquid hand soap. The toilet bowl had a dirty black ring. The toilet tank had been repaired with some kind of gray epoxy. Thhe sink drain was exposed and the stopper uinusable. There was 1 very small wastebasket. The walls had holes that were unrepaired and unpainted. There was a washer and dryer . The washing machine was missing its front panel so the tub was exposed. There was no phone in the room with which to call emergency services. There was no ice machine.

So-so place.
It just felt grimy in the room. Shower curtain had dead flies stuck to it ( in the inside of the curtain) . Table not washed up and dresser drawers had stuff in them. People live at this motel. Bed was comfortable enough. One night was enough for a lifetime.

Nice owner, shady set up
This place is probably the shadiest hotel I have ever been in. The owner seemed very nice but the place was rigged up with scotch tape and furniture purchased from a street curb.

The room was dirty at check in- used soap and dirty floors. There were ants. The free breakfast was odds and ends (a bag of chips, a donut, a cookie, bag of popcorn, apples) in a bottom cupboard.

Great rooms and staff
The room was clean and what we needed~ a roof over our heads and a bed to sleep in for the weekend. What stood out the most was the customer service. The hospitality was amazing. I enjoy personable people, and that’s what we got. We were running late for check in and this gentleman called me to make sure I was coming vs locking the doors and leaving without a care. He checked in with me whenever I’d pass him in the hall and I appreciated that.

We arrived late due to a problem with the flight and the rental car. Whrn we got to the motel, the door was locked and the phone the landline phone that said "call for assiatnce" was dead. We had to find another room for the night. Man at the motel said he could not refund the charge as it was Expedia policy to not refund. Drywall dust in the bathrrom, but it did not appear there was much effort in trying to update. I really believe I am due a refund for the one night. I will not ever stay here again.

Early Check-In Request
Chose this Motel for the location between events, It's not fancy but did the job. The manager was very accommodating to a request for an early check-in, which worked out great for my plans.

Poor establishment.
Bare minimum was offered. Floor was dirty, lavatory faucet leaked, the shower did not work that I had to fix, the so called continental breakfast was weak coffee without cream, the non-smoking room smelled of smoke and someone played their tv all night with a yapping dog. Only thing good to say is the proprietor was very personable.

I got just what I needed- a cheap place to stay on a busy Saturday night when everyone else was either booked or charging $300 a night. It’s by no means a nice place but everything worked and the manager was nice. I had to make a same day room reservation and got there at 11:20pm

Don't stay here!
The room was full of ants. We were not able to use the shower because there was hair in the bath tub and surround. Soap dish still had remnants of old soap. Linen was disgusting, we purchased blankets at a near by Wal-Mart. Wifi was unavailable because the siganl was to weak as we were the last room down the hall. Ice Machine not working. The room had a strong odor of smoke. Thankfully the AC and TV worked.
