It was fairly clean and quiet, but not especially comfortable. We arrived late at night. The outside temps were in the 30s and the heat was not turned on, so the room was ice cold. The heater ran all night at it's highest setting and was barely comfortable by morning. The bathroom floor was like ice. A light bulb was missing in the bedside lamp. There was a gap around the front door where you could see light coming from outside. The mattress made my friend's back hurt. The blanket on the bed was cheap, thin fleece that was too small for the bed. There was barely enough soap for one person to shower. But I guess it was better than sleeping in the car...

They are on a boil water ban. They didn’t even provide 2 single serving bottles of water for the coffee maker. They have one tiny trash can for the room and bathroom. And if you use it they replace the liner with a Walmart bag. They did offer house keeping daily.

The room was small but clean, fresh-smelling and well-appointed with a comfortable bed, free wifi and a fridge. The bathroom lights were too dim for my taste and the room didn't have a clothes iron (but maybe that's asking too much). Bring your own soap and shampoo because the motel gives you two small packs of shampoo per day and didn't replace my tiny bar of soap. I can't really complain though.

the room smelled of strong smoking, it was a non smoking room. Think that people had been smoking in the bathroom with the exhaust fan on, it was very unpleasant. I called to get my room changed and the manager said that no one smokes in that room, it is a non smoking room. Also the security lock on the door was broken off. There were burn holes in the bedspread. The rug in the room was old and looked dirty. The towels in the bathroom were thin and felt more like a hand towel. A very unpleasant stay

Don’t stay! Smelling old and moldy. Upon checking in I pulled back the covers to check the bed, the sheets were dirty. Door would not stay shut and the chain on the door was broken I immediately left the room and requested a full refund to which I was denied! I left and checked into a clean hotel. I really would like a full refund from this attempted stay in a subpar motel.

The people running the place were suspicious with their paperwork and it was overly weird to have a deposit before paying. Never got deposit back because no one was in the office to sign out of hotel in person. Other people staying the same night were not being respectful and staying out of others business.

Room was clean but very worn. It looks like they are upgrading or repairing existing property. Extremely over priced. 60$ would be more accurate. No frills like breakfast or rolls. Office was never open while I was there. Had to wait about 15 minutes for someone to show up to book me in and closed when I checked out at 9am on Saturday. Was not a place I will return to.
