There was no breakfast, there were dead bugs in every room and the bathtub. There was a misunderstanding about the reservation, and staff was pretty snippy about it.

Worst experience

We didn't get to stay in our room. The door was frozen shut by the time we got back at the end of the night. The front desk help had to break in through the window to get our stuff. The owner "doesn't answer his phone on sundays" so there were no apologies or anything. The staff was throwing hot water on door in -6 weather. The other staff was trying to get a haie dryer. To say this was a clusterf**k, would be putting it mildly. I would love to post pictures, but the "add a photo" button below seems to be broken.

We left the property after 1 night. The first room we were assigned the door was open, the power didn't work, and the door could be pushed open. The second room did not have any water pressure because there was a water leak behind the wall leaking into a different room. We had to stay there as it was late and it was the only place for many miles. The service was poor and the clerk had to continuously call the general manager on speaker phone. I am still trying to get my money back.

After reading so many terrible reviews we tried to cancel and had no luck. We did not want to go to a hotel with such a bad reputation. We took the loss and went somewhere else.

The property was close to where I needed to be. Other than that it was not clean. There were socks from previous people under the bed. Screens broken, on the windows, and dirty and dusty most places. The supplied breakfast was bagged bread. The person who was at the hotel was nice, it just wasn't clean or kept up.

Very basic no frills

This motel is very basic. It offers no amenities. It needs quite a bit of maintenance and TLC but it is clean and the bed was comfortable. We needed a place to stay because we were in town for a wedding and didn’t want to make the 2+ hour trip home afterwards.

The desk clerk couldn’t find my name when I was checking in. They charged me an additional $5.71 for local taxes which they could not explain when I asked for clarification. Breakfast was a joke. Some day old rolls and lousy coffee. I would not recommend this to my worst enemy or a homeless person!

There was no one there when I came to check in. The office was locked and not a person in sight. No one answered the little speaker box on the door until about 15 min went by. By 20 minutes the staff showed up by car. There was a musty odor in the room.
