The room was not as clean as it should have been. The bed spread was filthy, the sheets looked horrible. Good thing we were prepared with our own bedding. It was poorly cleaned.

A nice little motel in the process of being update

The gentleman at the check in was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and they are in the process of updating them. Our room had more electrical outlets and usb plugs than any other motel we stayed in! Only issue was noise from unit above us due to hard floors ...noise carries easily.

Bishop fishing trip

The room was small and very dated. The TV was very dark and very hard to watch. The hair dryer was pulled out of the wall and was laying on the counter. The shower drain was clogged and the tub filled up while showering. Overall, the room was not maintained and it made the stay disappointing. This is the first time I’ve ever given a bad review but I feel it needed to be put out there.

Liked: Amenities

Pleasantly surprised by their prices and how quiet everything was overnight. AC, WiFi, Dish Network all worked with perfection and had no issues. The water pressure was excellent however, the water drained very slow in the shower I just didn’t feel like calling the front office for that. I would definitely recommend them and would stay there again.
