If there are other choices for a bit more money, I'd skip this place and go there! The bed was comfortable sheets were clean but the room itself needs a thorough deep clean.

We couldn’t get in the room. The owner was always there and said that if could bother him , if we couldn’t get in. When we returned for the night, all we had to do was turn the knob. Meaning - the door was unlocked. Of course, the dead bolt worked. It is an old motel. Needs updating.

Our room was very dirty, there was "seasoning" all over the floor so we wouldn't take our shoes off. There was something smeared on the mattress protector that may or may not have been poo, gross either way. The water smells like eggs. The man at the desk who im assuming is the owner was very friendly. Seemed like he was the only employee.

The room was austere and unwelcoming. The water took minutes to get hot and smelled like sulfur. The room had an ice bucket but there was no ice machine on the premises. The parking lot was covered in maple seeds that tracked all over the place and in one’s car.

Needs an update, several electrical outlets did not work, tv remote didn’t work, no blow dryer, paint stains on the bathroom floor. We were an hour early and they charged $10 to get the room then. It is for sale , hopefully they can sell to someone who will update , it is a nice area for a motel.

Never again will I stay there?

It was the worst place I’ve ever stayed in the shower faucets were rusty and when I ran the water it smelt like rust. I thought it’s no way I’m taking a shower and I did not and the shower doors were really scummy, but it smelt clean the bed had clean sheets on was not bad at all. Microwave was dirty. I had to clean that out before I used it.
