Several guests note the advertised continental breakfast is not offered, with some calling the listings and photos misleading.

Cute little motel. Appears that the owners are actively fixing it up. Was very thankful for the ironing board and iron in the room.

The online information Expedia gave was misleading! There was no breakfast, not even coffee!! Despite it taking a long time to find the solitary employee to check-in, she was a pleasant person. We got the broken coffee maker swapped out and the notes we left on the non-functioning equipment in our room were rectified the next day. The rooms are tiny, but we worked around that, placing our luggage on the bed, or a table. We could see that the owner had recently updated the facilities.

Older establishment with need for improved appearance and maintenance. Towels in the room were very worn out and the shampoo/body wash dispenser in the tub shower was not accessible due to it being installed improperly.

Room door could use additional security bar. No heat available when temperature dropped in to the 40s. Check in person not very friendly or welcoming. Wouldn't recommend and won't stay there again

Unfortunately, We ended up leaving. We just felt like it wasn’t a safe area. Looks like they were trying to fix the place up but bedding had holes in it, things were lying on floor instead of hanging on wall, a/c kept tripping the outlet, and the cleaning smell was overwhelming strong, giving me a headache. Also, the office was full of clutter and there was no breakfast area like what was pictured. I guess the price was too good to be true.

It was right on the main road. Easy access and parking. She could not find me in the system even though I called that morning to confirm. Wanted to charge way more until I found the confirmation code. The front desk area was a mess. Junk everywhere. The room smelled musty. No grab and go breakfast or anything. No cups to put coffee in.

It I could give this property a zero, I would. Photos are misleading, no free breakfast as listed. Door did not lock properly all the time. Window locks did not work. Air conditioner was terrible and the heat stayed on while the air conditioner was running. Left after 2 days and asked for refund from Orbitz. Property owner lied and said we had been there 4 nights, when the dates had not yet even passed and we had spoken to them in person when we left. WiFi was super slow and was turned off at night. This property should not come up on searches as they are committing fraud and poor business practices. Sheets were stained, towels were gray and stiff. Bathroom was tiny and only had half a shower curtain. It what I would expect based on photos. DO NOT BOOK HERE!

Lack of friendly greeting, almost grudging acknowledgement of our reservation. Unkempt property with weeds, cigarette butts, and other litter. Shabby condition of room with dusty areas behind furniture. No continental breakfast. No dining or drink option in immediate area. Sharp contrast to America's Vest Value Inn in St. Marys, OH, where we had just stayed previously.

When I checked in, we did not get two rooms together, even though we signed up months ago. Also, a man who works there walked though the lobby into the near bathroom, and proceeded to pee without closing the door. We were promised a continental breakfast every day when we signed up. There was not continental breakfast. My room was missing soap in the dispensers, and the other room had ants that bit someone on the leg at night. They didn’t clean the rooms between nights, or even offer to. They just changed dirty towels. It was clean when we got there, though. I would not go back or recommend this hotel.

Stayed 4 nights

When we had no hot water for the second day, and the bathroom smelled so strongly of sewage that we were gagging, we decided to leave and forfeit two nights of payment to get out of there… The room was quite basic, and had some funky smells and dirty edges, burn marks and stains on linens, no soap, no breakfast, no wi-fi, lots of bugs, both dead and alive, and very questionable wiring. When we had no hot water, we talked to the manager who said he’d look into it. The thin, scratchy towels didn’t help much after cold showers. When we went back the second day with the same issue, he became rude and defensive, saying he had fixed it and it was fine. When we raised concerns about the sewage smell, he claimed that his workers were just in there and hadn’t noticed anything. He refused to refund us for the 2 nights that we didn’t stay for, and refused to acknowledge any of the problems. Never, ever stay here!

This property canceled my reservation without even contacting me at all. I had a confirmation email of the reservation a week prior to the stay and they didn’t care about that at all. The desk clerk manager was very uncooperative and told me it was not their fault that the reservation was cancelled by Expedia. Expedia never contacted me about a cancellation either. Terrible customer service!

*No Heat* - *No Hot Water* - *Bad Customer Service*. After all ready paying $74.00 for the room through HOTELS.com, I arrived to the hotel and I was not even going to be able to get a room key without having "$100 on a card for the hotel to hold". Without having that $100 on a card I wouldn't be able to get the room, even though I already paid for the room. When going into the *12'x12' room* with a dresser blocking the heater. The Heater Did Not Work so there was No Heat, then when going to take a shower there was No Hot Water. By far one of the worst places to stay at. *I advise not staying at this place *

Most of the lighting in the room did not work. It was not very clean, smelled funny and was generally run down. The towels were of a poor quality and limited quantity. Provided toiletries were of a poor quality as well. Additional towels were provided upon request and the location in relation to Hillsdale College is convenient.
