I was grateful to have a roof over my head on short notice over a high demand period that accepted pets. I am sure this place was once a very nice destination (probably 50-60 years ago). However, it was not well-maintained and the room was shabby. Credit for clean linens on the bed. Towels well past their usefulness - time to turn them into car rags. No recommendation from me.

Would never stay here again. There was an awful urine and musty smell. Stains on the beds, flooring & bathroom. It looks like it gets a ten second tidy, aside from the towels, that were clean but smelt strongly of bleach. Location felt very unsafe. Thankfully the AC worked well for how hot it was. The “couch” is a futon bed and you can feel every spring. There is class everywhere, everything is unplugged because they want to avoid extra costs for running the utilities. Dishes were not cleaned properly, the fridge had a smell. Needless to say, I will never stay here again.

The location is good. The property had a musty smell as we entered the room. The carpet had a damp feel. The beds were in good shape. Towels were clean. If the property has a clean paint and carpet replaced, it will be a good stay.

Not so good I paid for 3 nights and the motel started packing my bag after 2 nights while I was out. Before realizing I was good for 1 more night. They packed my dirty laundry in with my clean clothes, the thew my toiletries in the garbage and slippers were put in my food cooler. Before they realized the mistake they made as the room receipt was on the table. Very poor service, although they did apologize.

A Very Poor Establishment

The motel was extremely old. There were electrical cords on the floor and strung on the walls. I would suggest detonate not renovate. Beds were comfortable. Internet access was extremely difficult and there were only 2 specific areas in the room you could get access - one of which required you to stand up. For the price, I would say NEVER stay here.

Bring your own coffee, milk, sugar and dishsoap. I preferred to use my kettle. Lots of space. Old bedspread and insulating blankets. Windows allow fresh air for decent sleep.

Good value

This hotel is a great value for the area. It was great to have a kitchenette. It was not fully occupied despite the No Vacancy being displayed. The property is rather dated though - only plugin in bathroom is only for a razor and too high up for useage.
