Stay far, far away

Dark and dingy, not to mention the bedbugs (yuck). Towel racks fall to the floor with the weight of the bath towel, which is the size of a hand towel. Furnishings look like they haven’t been updated since hotel was new decades ago. I travelled around the world for a year with my two young kids, including many third-world countries, and never experienced lodging as disgusting as this motel. Hotels.com would do everyone a favor by delisting this property from their website. Only stayed here because all other lodging in town was sold-out.

Barely acceptable. The room smelled. We got one towel for two of us. Went to the front desk and the owner couldn't/wouldn't provide a second one. Crazy

Pleasant stay at an iconic GR fixture. Room exuded a 1960s vibe. Could do with minor touch-up. But PLEASE, value and retain the classic old school motel experience. Thank you!👍

this place i cant even beleive expedia has on there site. Its dirty very cold very little heat smells and when asking for another room was told if i do like it i can leave without a refund. This was a mistake on my part and i am thinking i will no longer use you as a place to look for a hotel. Very disapointed in exspedia on this one as this place should be shut down befor its recamended to any other person. i should be totally refunded from you for my very little sleep and very cold stay. THANKS ALOT FOR NOTHING AND A BAD PLACE TO STAY ON YOUR SITE.
