Always a good value for the price when we stay here. Faucets and floors a little worn and broken but still working, heater works well, and we were decently comfortable. Never any signs of bugs at all

Friendly environment and pet friendly. A little ran down, I pulled the sheets back and found a stain so I moved to second bed. Bathtub curtain only had three rings and was grimy so I decided not to shower. I'm a marine and not bougie by any means, but this place could use some TLC

It was better than camping, is all I can say. And it’s cheap, so. But there were only two wall outlets- one by the fridge across the room and one behind the bed that I could only find by moving the mattress. And the way the bed frame and the headboard are placed, only my tiny lady hands could reach it. A man would have to crawl under the bed. Not ideal when you have a CPAP to plug in. Also, I don’t even think it’s to code; there’s supposed to be an outlet on each wall.

This is an old hotel and shows its age. However, it was clean, in pretty good repair, smelled fresh, and had hot water. We got there late and left early. It did the job.

The room was very dirty. Crumbs all on the outside of the fridge by the microwave. A bunch of spider webs in the corners along the wall. The bathroom was very dirty with dried urine and poop on the toilet. I mean I was expecting much for the price and it being in the middle of nowhere. But gross!
