I got a king suite. There was no furniture what so ever. The more concerning part, is that there were no locks on my door. The bolt and the crossover latch were both missing. They were renovating, which was fine. But I also paid my stay up front and then owed a deposit upon arrival, which makes absolutely no sense, especially considering the room wasn’t even up to par. There were fruit flies in my room as well. No amenities offered as on website.

Too close to major road. View just a dirty parking lot. No coffee in room. Breakfast just cereal and coffee was out both days I stayed. Constant leaf blower while I was there. Overall definitely needs to be updated.

Not the newest or most glamorous motel maybe, and the operator could use more humor in his life, but it's a surprisingly nice place and can't be beat for the price. Three of us stayed in one room on the way to see the eclipse. Fridge, microwave, cable TV, and a bath tub. All the regular conveniences.

Pictures didn’t match property. The roof was under construction, the front sign was covered by a tarp, people lived there full time and there were two cop cars out front with lights on. When I “chatted” with an agent at Expedia they said because I didn’t go in and tell them I wasn’t staying there they wouldn’t refund me and charged me a $94 cancellation fee. I had to go down the road and pay a full price for a safe hotel. I couldn’t go in and cancel because the police were in front of the lobby and Expedia would not listen or care about that. It was completely unsafe. Don’t stay here and don’t expect Expedia to be helpful at all when you call to tell them a property isn’t the same in person as on the reservation because they don’t care.

Property in midst of renovations. Some done, some not. Our room was nice but some concrete had been torn out outside and not replaced. Uneven surfaces to be crossed by patrons. Also, advertised 'hot breakfast' which didn't happen. Breakfast was a choice between two sweetened kids cereals. Nothing appropriate for diabetics like my sister or myself.

I have a service dog. It is against the law to ask for a deposit for a service dog. When i questioned them on this, they said it really wasnt a pet deposit, it was just a general deposit...although they made me sign a pet policy form. The room was okay but not really nice at all. Basic. The breakfast was the worst ive seen. I had a choice of a stale little muffin probably purchased at Walmart. Terrible coffee with cheap powdered creamer. Corn flakes or FruitLoops with what looked like powdered milk. I didnt taste it becasue it didnt look right. Maybe it was watered down milk. There were some shady ladies hanging around. I dont recommend this place at all.
