Great place to stay !

The host was super nice and accomodated our needs/request for an extension cord and help to print something. The beds were super comfortable and clean. I was especially grateful for the hot water since many places don't have that. The location is close to restaurants and stores.

The place where I stayed was not clean those cracks the Walls bathroom doors broke the shelf in the bathroom was pitiful. I would not recommend that motel for anybody. I guarantee you I checked out earlier than planned. I travel with Expedia I would not recommend them to my worst friend worst enemy or anybody or family. This place is not fit for a dog seem to think of this. There was a dog next-door to barked all night long. You asked for the truth you have the truth thank you very much for your time. Bye.

Good: Hot water in the shower, TV worked, relatively warm in the room. Bad: Manager left us outside in the freezing cold to get checked in (bizzaro), asked for a non-smoking room but she thought I said smoking room. She said go ahead and smoke everyone else does. I corrected her and she said, no you have a non-smoking room, the others are smoking room - did a poor job of lying. Placed needed some maintenance.

Quick sleep

It was a small quaint room. We stopped to sleep for the night. So it met our needs. But the toilet seat was loose. It was a quiet place.

Should be CONDEMNED!!! I booked the last hotel room available in the town. I knew booking this it was not a high quality hotel but thought we only needed a few hours of sleep and a shower in the morning. I got much mor than that. I was greeted by a extremely outdated motel with a less than secure door that was too filthy to touch with my bare hand and a threshhold cover with some sort of insect poison. Hoping the curb appeal was just bad, we entered and found what horror movies are made of. Outdated furniture, walls and ceiling that were patched, the floor was falling through in one area. There appeared to be a blood stain on the front window curtain that was barely hanging. There was brown smudge marks inwhich i could only guess to be some sort of feces. The ac was not working and had mold in vents. There was an office chair that looked to have urine stains on it and a lounge chair that appeared to be pucked up from the side of the road. I built up the courage to look in the bathroom where i found broken light fixture, a mirror so dirty my image was blurry, an air vent caked with mold, and a half bathtub that was so dirty and stained it looked like someone rebuilt a transmission in it recently. Some other room doors were open wide and people "hanging out". Needless to say we took key back to desk clerk, expressed our concerns to only get offered another room, which i am guessing it was one of the best rooms. Only thing missing here was a chalk outline of a body.

Our room had a terrible smell, my wife was having trouble with the AC blowing on her head. I tried to adjust, but the AC grill came off in my hand. I could see inside the AC, it was full of mold. the bathroom door was damaged.
