Things were generally okay considering it’s a low cost motel. The couple at the front desk were very friendly. Only criticism I could offer was that the two bars of soap in the shower looked as if a mouse had taken a bite out if them. No complaints about our stay otherwise.

A lesson in "You get what you pay for". Very sketchy men in parking lot when we arrived. Told my daughter not to get out of the car when we checked in. Men left an hour later, Thank goodness....tried to get another hotel but nothing available. The door was super flimsy, paper thin and hard to lock, had to put a chair in front of it while we were sleeping. And to top it off, NO heat. Temp went down to 2 degrees......Camping would have been a step up!
