We couldn’t get in the room. The owner was always there and said that if could bother him , if we couldn’t get in. When we returned for the night, all we had to do was turn the knob. Meaning - the door was unlocked. Of course, the dead bolt worked. It is an old motel. Needs updating.

The keys didn’t work to any of the rooms, the manager had to let us each in. The chain locks were all rusted and broken off. The floors were dirty from the last person, especially the caulking around the toilet and sink were the worst we’ve ever seen. The sheets didn’t fit the bed. The lady in the room next to us had trouble getting her I.D. Back from him and felt very unsafe. This is the 1st time we’ve had a bad experience using Expedia.

Our room was very dirty, there was "seasoning" all over the floor so we wouldn't take our shoes off. There was something smeared on the mattress protector that may or may not have been poo, gross either way. The water smells like eggs. The man at the desk who im assuming is the owner was very friendly. Seemed like he was the only employee.

The room was austere and unwelcoming. The water took minutes to get hot and smelled like sulfur. The room had an ice bucket but there was no ice machine on the premises. The parking lot was covered in maple seeds that tracked all over the place and in one’s car.

Never again will I stay there?

It was the worst place I’ve ever stayed in the shower faucets were rusty and when I ran the water it smelt like rust. I thought it’s no way I’m taking a shower and I did not and the shower doors were really scummy, but it smelt clean the bed had clean sheets on was not bad at all. Microwave was dirty. I had to clean that out before I used it.

Horrible, Stay Away!

Horrible. Really old Desk clerk/owner? seemed to not understand english and old system so slow to check in. Was writing down all numbers from credit card on paper. Told him to scribble out when done. Booked 2 beds. Room had one. Move to only room left with 2, which was pretty much a storage room, new boxed headboards propped up against window, and missing one in our room. other headboard had big stain on it, looked like blood. No nightstand, water smelled like sulfur, stand holding tv warped and tv didn't seem to work. shower curtain gross and some stains in bathtub/toilet. no closet and overall just dirty.

Anyone that rated this place over a 1 star is a fake review, I promise. We stayed here in a bind one night for baseball tournament. It was the only place in the local area under $200 a night, and booked the day we needed it, so our fault for being desperate hoping for a safe, somewhat clean place to sleep for a few hours before my sons early game. This was by far the worst place we’ve been stayed. Here is a small list: 1. Holes in wall 2. Dirty 3. TV didn’t work 4. Exposed electrical sockets and wires 5. Disgusting, dirty towels 6. Thin walls to clearly hear a couples’ fight 2 door over 7. Dirty toilet 8. Dirty shower 9. Lack of toilet paper 10. Sinks that didn’t drain 11. No inside hotel door lock 12. Fire alarm dangling from the ceiling 13. Bugs in light inside 14. Dirty mattress 15. Ice machine filled with garbage instead of ice If you are in a bind like us or even just want to save $50, go elsewhere and run! It’s amazing that this place is even listed on your site. Sorry but other than the location, there is not 1 thing positive I can say about this disgusting motel
