We checked in at night not seeing the outside collage of dilapidated surroundings of this disgusting place! The only ok about this is the sheets did look laundered, a new floor had been installed so no carpet thankfully . It had a refrigerator that worked well. Expedia cannot believe you would offer this! The place looked like they furnished it grabbing free items from lawns, ditches etc. I’m fine with old but clean, which the reviews indicated but no way could you say it’s clean! The outside was completely disgusting. Never did I see the office open. Couldn’t speak to advise why I’m giving this review because no one was around so had to leave key in a mailbox! I have pictures but unsure they will upload. These premises haven’t been cared for for years, I know no one who would sit in these chairs that are outside and I didn’t sit in the one inside either. Bath towels , 1 towel and 1 wash cloth per person, no renewal 2nd day & they appeared to be purchase at garage sales to be used in the garage, worn, threadbare, stiff. Nothing matched & they should have been tossed ! It’s a dump! Which is unfortunate as our family & friends were looking for an inexpensive place for future stays but it certainly won’t be this place! The inside smell of dirty ash tray/moldy! I couldn’t believe we stayed here & had it not been late when we woke the person up in the designated room # we would not have! check in was the 1 time we saw an employee. ! Shame Expedia for not doing due diligence!

Got service

Left my backpack there and the owner held it for 1 week before I came and got it. It was full of expensive electronics too. Room was outdated, but clean. About what you would expect for the price. I'd stay again for sure.

Not Worth The Price - Won't Stay Again!

The lower unit around the back was in terrible condition. The beds and bath linens and towels were very dirty. The beds had bug remains. The bathroom was in terrible condition, the light above the vanity was busted up and failed to provide any light. The only thing in the room that looked semi-clean was the carpet.

Needs a lot of work.

Main issue was it was not clean, carpet very dirty and really dirty under the beds. Chair in room had a large questionable stain. Because it was so dirty, we did not use the shower. No blankets in the room just a thin sheet and thin bedspread. Two remotes for the TV but no instructions on how to use them so we only could get a couple channels. No amenities. Ice only available in the office when it was open. Outside of each room were the most torn up delapidated chairs that looked awful and no one would want to use. Did not have our reservations eventhough we had a confirmation number. Showed a room $20 cheaper on line on the day we arrived than we were quoted however, they did honor the cheaper rate. We only stayed one night due to lack of cleanliness but clerk could not process our second night refund so not sure if it was processed the next day or not. The woman who checked us in was very nice. The property behind it was large and beautiful which was the only nice thing about it. It could be acceptable if these issues were resolved.

Nothing to like. Building was run down. Our room smelled terrible. We had to go purchase Lysol and an air freshener and our own bedding and pillows because we didn't trust what was supplied. Bathroom was disgusting/dirty. We noticed toilet tissue stuffed into a hole in the floor where a plumbing pipe was removed. Lighting worked when it wanted too. You could see sunlight around and under the door. Whoever owns the motel certainly doesn't take pride in it. This motel is the only one in town.

Room was mostly clean but things barely work. Tried to use heater but it set off fire alarm, no toiletries provided. Had 2 rooms, one was roach infested. In one room water was hot enough to cause burns,other room no hot water. TV would not turn off. This place should be closed until improvements are made. I would have gotten a refund and left if I wasn't too tired to drive anymore.
