We did not stay at this motel! We went to check-in but once we arrived in the parking lot, and motel lobby, the rooms were nothing like what we expected from looking at the online photos and description. We spoke with the female attendant who called the Owner/Manager and She spoke with me and said she would support a full refund to me but said I would have to go through Expedia. Expecting this response will trigger a refund and if necessary you can contact the motel manager to discuss. Feel free to contact the Motel Manager or myself by phone or you can email me ...I respectfully request a refund to be provided to me; If not, I will never utilize Expedia again and will post many negative comments online. Thank you and appreciate a prompt response.

Look at other options

The property is in desperate need of upgrading, it is old rundown and dirty. Our room had not been cleaned as there was hair and a hair tie in the bathroom sink.

Older property but great stay

Older version vintage hotel. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Outdated but cost and service was great based on the type of property it was. We will definitely stay again if visiting the area.

Has the essentials, but needs some updating

The place met our needs. We left very early, came home late and went straight to bed. It met our needs, but the microwave was broken and the mini-frig broke while we were there. We didn't need either one, but the room needs an update/repair of those items. No breakfast, no room cleaning on longer stays, but host offered free hot coffee each morning. Much less expensive than other places in town, so we got our money's worth on this three-day work trip.
