The staff was very friendly. The advertisement for the property showed a much more attractive motel. The door wouldn't close unless you slammed it. The TV was not working for the first several hours. Parking lot was small and entry ways were so dipped that it damages the front bumper of our car.

Kind of a “get what you pay for” deal. The rooms was clean and someone came by to change the towels, etc. parking was a little tight so that might be considered for someone booking that wants to stay out late. Spots become limited. The website on Hotels.com mentioned free breakfast but this was never mentioned when we checked in. There is a restaurant that is a few steps away but I don’t believe it’s included or a voucher is given. Overall it was okay for the short duration we needed a room.

Not bad for an older building. The cleaning staff was polite and did good work. Clean linings , clean rooms. A/C’s will need to be upgraded in the next few years. The hotel is squeezed into a small area off the highway. It’s a good location, just no parking room.

Beds were clean, BUT I killed 3 small roaches on the counter at the sink! Not Good! Folks from other rooms were smoking…….. you could smell it when coming out of your room, this isn’t good either. Don’t know if I want to stay here again when I come to visit family. I’ve been coming over here since the late 70’s! I sure hope that fix these issues.

Tub floor in shower uneven and had a hole. Toilet seat was lacking a bolt and was loose and unstable, floors unclean and sticky, sheets and towels were clean, mattress odor smelled of a locker room, TV remote needed new batteries. I was too tired to complain to front office when features were discovered late in the evening. Sat up and snoozed in office chair and left very early next morning.

The building was old and not as up to date as other reviews suggested. The beds were clean and the room was maintained. That being said it was as if the cleaning service didn’t realize that more gets dirty than just the bedding and shower. There was dirt built up around the doors on the trim, and the walls had splatters and smudges. The floor was sticky from probably the wrong type of cleaner and we had to wear shoes at all times.

There was a horrendous cricket infestation. I understand maybe this is hard to control but the door sweeps and thresholds allowed for them to constantly pour in. We tried to block it with towels to no avail. Crickets continued to come in all night long chirping and keeping us awake and pretty grossed out. Work could be done to the thresholds and sweeps to at least keep them out of the rooms. We were charged an ‘extra person fee’ at the hotel when I booked for 4 and the room was for 4. They also charged a fee for using a credit/debit card. I felt like the extra fees should be disclosed at booking not when you get there.

The room was heavily smoked in. Everything smelled of smoke. A big turn off. The bathroom area smelled of sewer gas. The sink faucets are installed backwards so cold is on the hot and vice versa and you push them backwards instead of pulling towards you. The whole assembly needs turned around.

Nicely renovated rooms of an older locally owned hotel. The rooms are nicer then the outside facade. Much quieter then expected. Enjoyed the provided space heater that did a fabulous job of heating the room and providing white noise. We visit friends in the area 1-2xs a year. We are looking for a quiet place to sleep and shower. We have booked this hotel each visit for 2-3 years now

I met a group of friends in the area for a river float trip and needed a place to sleep at night. What a great choice I made! The price indicates it is a no-frills budget inn, and it is that. However, the beds are super comfortable, and the shower is hot and has excellent water pressure. What more could you ask for after a day floating in the river? I mean, who needs much more than that? The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and we felt safe. The BBQ place across the street smelled terrific, although we did not have time to partake.
