The property had ample parking, was clean, and had basic amenities like a microwave and refrigerator for a very low price. The office was dark and hard to find, no one answered the phone, the hotel walls are really thin around noise, and the bathroom window on the first floor was open when I arrived. Please note that this property doesn't provide Wifi or a desk for those seeking a workspace.

Looks arent everything

At first glance the motel looks old but once in the roon the beds were comfortable and the place was clean. The owner greeted us with a handshake and was very friendly. Don't be dissuaded by the outside appearance because its the inside that counts.

The best thing about the town was the youth rodeo. The worst thing was the town's emergency whistle blowing in the wee hours of the morning. Finally someone turned it off. The best thing about the motel was the price. The room was small and the beds were not very good. The refrigerator and microwave worked. There were several several dead and/or missing light bulbs. There were no chairs nor any place for our belongings but the floor. One bed covered the closet opening so nothing could be put in there either.

We had reservations. The website says open 24/7. We got in late because we got lost. Knocked. Rang the doorbell. Called. Left a VM with my phone number. Called a second time. No response. A week later not even the courtesy of a call back. I prepaid so I couldn't even cancel. Worst experience I've ever had with a hotel. I want my money back but they won't respond.
