We only stayed one night but the room didn’t look like it had a good cleaning in a while. The toilet and shower were clean but the floors were not that great. We had a “soft spot” in the carpet where the floor sunk in when you walked across it, which was concerning since we were on the second floor. There were birds nesting in the bathroom vent and the nesting material was falling through onto the towels. The beds were ok….hard, firm mattresses and made nicely. The chairs in the room were very stained and very wobbly and the table wasn’t much better. I do not like leaving negative reviews but this place needs some attention from the owners.

It’s a great place to stay the night. It’s also a great place for work crews to get rest. The owners are amazing and always willing to please as long as you are respectful. Like it should be.

Older motel. Good if you need a place to sleep. Overall room was clean, bathroom could use better scrubbing. Can't check-in before 2pm. Most hotels will let you check in but will tell you room won't be ready until... Not this one. Had to check in much later due to prior commitments.

I was there for about 10 min and i checked out and left i didnt even stay its was so unbelievably disgusting. I lost $180 because I refused to stay in such a nasty mess. I almost gaged when i walked in the door. There were holes in the bedding and stuff splattered on the walls and writing on the door and a huge crack in the ceiling obviously leaking and making the floor underneath weak and unsafe to walk on. The door wouldn't close all the way its was so bad.

Was ok but definitely nothing special. For one night passing through, it’ll do, especially being almost half price of everyone else around. For more than 1-2 days, I’d definitely book else.
