The staff at the site was really nice. The pictures of the room are excellent. The place is kinda old, dirty rugs, dirty furniture the sink was badly stained and looked dirty. The king bed was kinda hard and springs kinda poke through. The heating system worked well. The shower worked good. It was plenty warm and had good pressure. The door to the room only had a simple door knob with a key. No way to lock it from the inside. It was very quiet though. I hate to pick a place apart like this it was only $81.70 for the room. It was the only motel available with only being reserved a day in advance. For a Sat night stay. I have learned over the past couple of years, if I don’t pay near $200 a night, out west, you don’t get much quality.
