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.

Not a great place to stay. I did not find many choices in this area. Any thing is better than nothing. I do not think the breakfast is even a breakfast. Better take your own.

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.
