It was a clean, older motel...a few rough edges here and there but safe, quiet, and reasonably priced...I'd stay there again..

Plenty of loud barking dogs living there. Old dilapidated motel. Neglected. Just gross. Could not sleep, in spite if being road weary. Morning came and no food or coffee. We splashed off in the sink, unwilling to use the shower.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was very dirty, including a blood stain on the sheet. I wish that it had been clean so that I could say nice things about it. The people were very nice. The free breakfast was cereal and milk. We opted to eat out.

You have GOT to be kidding! I took and saved pictures in case they were some kind of scam and wanted to charge me for some of the damage. The room might have looked like the website photograph 20 or more years ago, it was false advertising to criminal fraud today. Chunks of ceiling plaster the size of my hand falling off in the shower. Bathroom exhaust fan rusted as far back the pipe as I could see. Actual holes in the walls. Veneer missing off the furniture. Handrails missing from stairs to the room and more. When I found myself in the same area the next night, I drove on to the next town and dealt directly with a hotel rather than risk another Expedia partner property.

The comforter was scratchy, and very nasty. The towels and wash clothes old and stained definitely would not give this place a “good”rating as Hotels.com has it for. I would say “fair” at the very, very best.

Room interior very clean and functional - better than most in which I've stayed. But I wish they had a Gideon's Bible. I didn't bring mine thinking I'd find them in most rooms.

The bathroom was TINY. The room was very dated. Needs updated from the 1980's. Also needs better locks for the door. It was adequate but just barely.

It was stated a free grab and go breakfast and coffee in common areas. It was said 24/7 Front desk. At check in we got told breakfast is from 7am to 9 am. I went there for a coffee at 7:10am all doors were locked. I went again at 7:40 am all doors were locked and the chairs were still up on the table. My friend went to get a coffee around 8:40 it was open but no coffee or any breakfast. I call that false advertisement. Terrible service.

This is a lower budget motel, but it had a good old school vibe, and it was fun just for a little weekend trip to get away and check out a new spot. I can tell the owners take pride and are very hospitable. I went to the front desk and asked for blankets, and he informed me they were in the drawers. As soon as I got back to my room he was calling to make sure they were there and that I found them. It’s right down the street from Wal-Mart and there is a really good fast food Mexican restaurant called Amigo’s that is within walking distance
