Good basic place to stay

Old school motel. It was comfortable, had all the basic needs. Lights were not very bright. TV was very good but volume must have been set. I would stay here again.

Avoid if possible

False advertising. There is no laundry facility. The owner offered to do a load of wash for me at $10 a person. I wasn't allowed to wash my own clothes. The air conditioner was horrible, and struggled to keep up. Horrible night's sleep. Avoid

The room was dirty , the bed sheets and mattress covers stained and hair on it, and lastly the bathroom sink had hair in it as well. No power after 10pm so I checked out next morning after paying for two nights. Not happy at all. I asked for new bed sheets but it didn’t change the fact that I was still disgusted. I understand it’s a motel but they really need to improve on cleaning.

Improvement Needed

The most important thing when staying in a Motel, for me, is cleanliness. You need to fire your cleaners. Nothing is more gross then encountering other peoples hairs. Your rooms need to be thoroughly vacumed and dusted after every stay. ALL SURFACES. While I appreciate that you replaced carpet with hard surface flooring to be more sanitary, the floors need to be mopped after every stay to actually be clean. The bedding and towels need to be replaced when they turn gray and are covered with pills and have stains. We were there for a multi day stay, yet we were provided with only 1 coffee packet, one towel, hand towel, and one face cloth each. Make your check in better. We arrived at about 3:30 in the afternoon and it felt like breaking into Fort Knox. The door to the office was locked and there was a confusing sign saying "Lift the phone reciever" in addition to another sign saying "Ring the bell". I did both and had no confidence that anyone was coming to check me in. For over$100 dollars per night - DO BETTER!
