Worst stay I've ever had. Window was broken & boarded up with cardboard. Heater broken. At least the bed was somewhat acceptable. To make matters worse they never refunded my security deposit. I will be disputing the transaction with my credit card company. I don't know how they manage to have the rating that they do (6.2 stars when I booked) but don'I trust it like I did!

Not for couples but you can rough it, alone.

When I drove to the property, it’s condition is actually shocking. It really looks ‘run down ‘. The room, although below par, is not as bad as you may think, based on the outside appearance of the property. It has a refrigerator, microwave, flat screen TV with lots of channels, WIFI, and was not as bad as first thought... but it’s not for couples! You will be in the dog house for sure!

Nečistý motel

Veškerý personál nepříliš přátelský. Úklid ani výměna ručníků neproběhly. Naštěstí jsme strávily jen 2 noci. Přidělené ručníky s černými fleky. Osušky žádné. Chybělo křeslo nebo židle a nebo stolek. Wi-fi nekvalitní.
