I enjoyed the 50s charm!

This is a 1950s motel, which gave it a lot of charm. We'll maintained. When I arrived, there were several families using the charcoal grills in the central garden with picnic tables. Parking right by your room. But most of the rooms have steps into them. Not suitable for wheelchairs.

Terrible motel, friendly employees.

Filthy rooms. Window type A/C units in both rooms were working but barely able to cool. Overall, don’t stay here if you have any other option. The people working there were nice enough but there’s nothing anyone can do about the condition of this dump without a complete revamp.

Bed was hard as a rock, mattress with no box spring on a homemade frame of a sheet of plywood on 2x6 legs. Sure conditioner sounded like a freight train and blew barely cool air. Had to almost squat to get under the shower head.

An older motel that is comfortable if you are looking for just the basics. Bed was comfortable and room was overly clean. AC cooled the room adequately. Close but not within walking distance was numerous fast food places.

Tried to stay here for Frontier Days because everything was booked. This goes straight up beyond a terrible experience. This is 40 dollar room at best. Dirty bathroom( hair on shower walls) sticky floors, hot as balls in there because the air conditioner was a filthy piece of junk, junk electric receptacles. I understand there is an event in town but to ever charge someone 250 a night for this complete dump is unspeakable and should be against the law ! The staff was the only good part and were kind to us and refunded our second night so we could move along. You’ve been warned …
