Door to room 17 would not lock from inside with deadbolt. Had to prop chair against the doornob, use security latch. Spiders in the tub. Yellow car air freshener tied to a fan to freshen room smell. Toilet cleaned but not flushed.

Looks to me as it this motel has transitioned into some sort of extended stay operation as one of the residents appeared to be visibly upset “I parked in his parking spot”.

Not so affordable for the level of room

Been staying here for the last 8 years during our road trip to the north. It’s a convenient location, usually well priced, has a patio and is pet friendly. However interior and maintenance continues to worsen, needs for repair - and now the price has gone up! Next trip might consider paying another 15 dollars and stay somewhere with a little more amenities and comfortable interior.
