The clerk checking me in was on her phone. She was rude and was annoyed that she had to check myself and others in. She tossed the hotel card after I signed everything and walked away. The room was awful. Cigarette burns all over the bathtub, dirty towels and sheets. $110 for that?!

Ok stay

It was an ok place. We didn't spend much time there. The coffee maker was already full with water so I emptied it. Had bugs. Needless to say It was not used. Asked for clean towels, he took ours washed them and brought them back. It was a little odd since most places just give u new ones. Overall it wasn't that bd

The bathroom was hideous, at least could replace the toilet seats. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable the covers and pillows were dirty and the mattresses looked very old and in poor condition.

This was not a family type vacation. I came to fish and wanted a nice clean place to clean up and sleep. The room was clean the water was hot. The manager was very nice and helpful. He keeps a close eye on the place and really wants you to enjoy your stay. I would stay there again.

Find somewhere else for your money

Air conditioning barely works, we had to move rooms. I don’t know if it’s their attempt to save money, but we walked into a room that was probably 85 degrees, air was off. Turned it on and barely worked. We had to drive to dollar general to get a fan just to be somewhat comfortable. Men outside blaring music. There was a needle beside the bed. Will never stay again.

Awful service

The front desk guy woke us up at 1 am to ask why there was a duplicate registration for us in the system. When I was upset that he had woken us for something so small, I expressed how frustrated I was. Both that night and the following morning I asked him to not come wake us that late unless it was an emergency. He tried to say we hadn’t been there earlier (we actually got back to our room at 8pm which is pretty early!) and then that it wasn’t a big deal. I am Not sure if he just didn’t care or if he literally didn’t understand why waking someone at that hour would be an issue at all

Nice simple place

Nice place to spend the night and plenty of parking. I had to transport a Mack box truck and had no issues finding parking here. My only complaint was that the heater did not work in the room so I was freezing but I just needed to spend the night.
