Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Dirtiest motel I have ever stayed in. Dried feces, vomit and possibly blood on walls around toilet. The smell of wet shower and mold permeatedmtue air. It was well lit, quiet and in a good location. The bed was reasonably comfortable.

The room was dirty like the switches for the lights were black around them with layers of old dirt. I killed one big in the bathroom. Sheets had stains on them. Was pretty sketchy over all. No one caused problems just not somewhere I'd stay again if I can help it.

Room was very old and in poor condition. Exposed wiring and bathroom in bad condition. Had to put a towel in front of the entrance door to cover gape under door.

Old but ok

The room was clean it's just an old Motel I will say that if it's very quiet there and it was very very well lit outside I felt safe there, although I did find a bed bug in the bed and it did but my arm a few times so therefore we will not be staying there again.

It wasn’t a terrible place for a last minute stay, the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is rundown and needs updating. Our room wasn’t dirty persay but it was dingy, the blanket had holes in it the walls had holes in them and the shower was mildewy and just bleh. It was ok for like a night we ended up leaving early though. Probably wouldn’t stay here again if I had other options.

Staff was ok just couldn’t completely understand what he was saying. Got our room and no outlets worked. There was no shower head but the water worked. We went back down to the office to ask for another room and got it. There was a shower head but no working water and there was also a roach beside the bed. Apparently dogs are allowed and cats are not but we saw a cat in one of the room windows. We couldn’t get a refund either so $140 down the drain.

I accidentally booked the wrong nights for another hotel, so I booked this place as a last resort thinking it’d be better than sleeping in my Suburban. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
