It works

Clean overall. Small bath towels from Pakistan are not my favorite. As I've said before the air con vents need cleaned. The air con seems to have gotten louder. Overall a good place to stay for the price.

The room is simple, but has everything I want in a room. Comfortable bed, hot water in the shower, and enough room if you need to bring anything inside. It could use a bigger TV

Room was fine, bed was comfortable, about average for an older motel. A clock on the nightstand would be nice (I set the clock on the microwave). Vinyl floor needed to be wet mopped; when I got a shower, my footprints in the tub left dirt from the floor.

Place was great for the price! They had a huge TV, which was fun because we had just been tent camping. Nice amenities, including coffee in the room. Bed was comfortable, and enormous if you like that. It seemed large even for a king. Maybe it was because of that little tent the night before!

Good on a budget

Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfy. The room did get a little warm as I couldn't seem to locate an A/C. Check in was easy. The town does not have many food options.

There are no staff at this location but self check in wasn’t a problem. The rooms smelled like stale cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. I reserved for a family of 5 and there weren’t enough bath towels. Would I stay here again - no.
