I have a slightly different review than most of the ones I've seen here. I rate this motel as average.
I am not a smoker and the smell of cigarettes was absolutely overpowering in all areas of the motel. Because this motel and most all other motels/hotels in the $50-$90 price range were all booked (July 4th weekend and a sporting event in the area) I didn't have a choice but to take a smoking room. I had to get a room through Priceline and because of the shortage of rooms in the area I had to pay $68 for the room and a total of $85 after taxes and the Priceline fee.
The lobby was clean though it reeked of smoke. My room was clean but the carpet looked like it badly needed shampooing. Shower had incredible pressure and the climate control was excellent. I was surprised to see a mini-refrigerator and microwave in a motel of this class.
The bed was only fair in comfort, but of course this was not a Marriott or Hilton. What bothered me was what appeared to be mildew on the box spring.
This is a Super 8 so expect the tiny bars of soap that barely last through one shower. The towels were scratchy but not that bad and decent size. The TV was an older tube size but had a decent number of channels. There's a complimentary breakfast in the mornings.
The desk clerk didn't appear very friendly and had a deep gruff voice but she was not bad after starting some discussions with her. She got me checked in within a couple of minutes and the checkout was a few seconds.
Within a few miles there's a mall, restaurants, and a movie theater.
All-in-all not a bad place to stay but because the smell of cigarettes was so incredibly overpowering I personally would not return. I was also disturbed at the high price I paid for this level of accomodation.
