Room clean and warm. Bathroom clean and warm but minimal water flow to sink faucet. Shower water pressure was fine. Grateful for hot shower. Noisy heater prevented uninterrupted sleep.
On arrival, receptionist asked to keep my credit card to cover $200 security deposit. He said the card would be returned upon check-out. I refused and requested the card be processed to provide a receipt for the pending transaction. He complied. Next day, an hour or so after checkout, I checked the bank statement. A $200 credit had been applied to offset the security deposit debit.

Room was fine, but the breakfast was bad. No coffee, butter was not refrigerated, much less than expected.
The room was fine but it is an old motel in need of a major overhaul.

Felt unsafe due to proximity to other buildings. Very isolated.
The floor was very old, looked unclean as it was very old flooring and very dark.
Tub needed to be refinished...the rest of the bathroom was ok.
Would not repeat visit.
Was ok. One fella doing the whole thing from check in to cleaning to breakfast.. booked a 2 dbl, smoking room only to find out on arrival, no smoking. Given an upgrade at the desk only to find out its the same room once we got to it. Overall, an ok stay. Room was very musty but we made it work
The staff were great at the location. The only thing was that night there was an event going on at the fairgrounds. There was fighting and yelling between other tenants outside at night and wasn't the most pleasant experience.
Paid for a 2 night stay, almost $400. Second morning there was a power outage. We had no electricity and water. Wasn’t able to warm up my son’s bottles. Couldn’t shower, no breakfast. Wasn’t offered an apology, or discount. Upon asking for a supervisor, employee called them and then had the entire conversation in their language so we couldn’t understand. Very disappointed. Not even close to being worth $400
