Liked: Staff & service
Staff were friendly. Check-in and check out was a breeze. Beds were clean but general cleanliness of the room was lacking. There was a fly and a beetle, both alive so that was a bit ick. Corners and areas around furniture were not cleaned often if at all. View from the room was great. Overall 3 stars IMO

The room facilities are not old, and the environment is very quiet. However, the refrigerator occasionally makes a loud noise when it starts, which is especially disturbing in such a quiet setting. The bathroom faucet has the hot and cold water reversed — at first, I thought there was no hot water. One of the beds has a large yellowish stain near the head area, and the other bed had a strand of hair on it. It’s understandable that some wear and tear happens, but the cleanliness really needs improvement.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
There was a used Band-Aid in the shower. We had to call the front desk to remove it. The electric baseboard heater in the bathroom did not have a protective cover/shield on it and the heating fins were crushed. This had the appearance of an electrical hazard - in a wet area. When the hair dryer was used, the lights in the entire room flickered.
Used Band-Aid in Bathroom shower.

Everything was just a ok, a budget motel with some degree of remodeling. The parking lot next to the property seemed like where people gathered at night to smoke joints and drink. Went to enjoy the night view of the town but couldn't stay due to the stink and also felt unsafe.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Sheets had not been changed and were stained with appeared to be blood! The floors had not been swept nor washed. It was disgusting. The bathroom was also very dirty. I went to front desk with pictures and they moved us to another room however it was almost as bad, other than the sheets had been changed. It was a very old run down hotel that appeared to have had a coat of paint splashed on without any kind of repairs done to previous damage to rotted wood and baseboards/silicone trim in bathroom. We were charged for what they self described as a room with a view, but I took pictures of the view from my window of a parking lot complete with a huge garbage disposal bin from the restaurant beside the hotel. I would not recommend anyone stay there.

The worst

Owned and runs by Indian family. Lowest floor for long turn rentals , no coffee or tea in the room. A pet friendly inn but the lawn is no pets allowed. I read all the reviews before I booked the place, but it is nothing like what I expected. The worst place I had stayed.
That is the what they call "breakfast included "
Very dirty bathroom
Dirty bedding

We chose based on price and were pleasantly surprised. We were only staying one night so didn't really care but in the end this property proved worthy of multiple night stays. Parking for large vehicles is also available. Now, the view from the window is gorgeous. You will want to stay just for that!
