Property owner very rude. We asked for a refund after going into room and finding all the problems. He said we would have to go through Expedia. Then he wouldn’t take Expedia’s call to authorize a refund. Expedia made many attempts and owner refused. We questioned him when we left if he was going to refund and he said what you call me a scammer. Well yes you sir are a scammer!

Good condition, clean, very firm mattresses

A good motel. Room was in good condition and clean. AC worked well, which was appreciated in summer. Mattresses weren't comfortable, very firm. That was the only downside for us.

My room was clean and had nice fresh linens and towels. Staff were very friendly and helpful even offering directions to amenities. The room is a bit run down…holes in walls and damaged floor. Bathroom has been refreshed and I enjoyed a nice hot shower! I will come again. Cheers!
