We pulled up to the place, drove around to check it out and immediately left to find some place else to stay. This place did not feel safe it was an off the highway motel that was run down with no signage.

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
warped and dirty floor in the room and hallway. pool closed -- no water in pool. no breakfast available. hallways smelled of urine. musty smell in room. to tissues, no hand soap, no shampoo. outside door locks taken off. obviously an itinerant landing spot. would not recommend to anyone.
Hotel did not have kitchen, fridge, coffee maker, glasses, no vending machine, no pool, no breakfast, floor was poorly laid had waves and bubbles in it like walking in a kids bouncy house, wall paper poorly laid. It had nothing that was listed in the listing on Expedia for this hotel.
