An older property but inexpensive

It always comes down to you get what you pay for. I just needed an overnight on a long distance Road trip. The staff were extremely friendly but the property is obviously very old and it shows. Although the property is no smoking, my room was very musty and smelled of smoke. Fortunately I had some Febreze with me

The room was great, but the bathroom was less than desired. It was surprisingly large well layed out room. However, the bathroom was not clean. This may be because it was a last minute booking though

This was a great little hotel. The owner was very, very friendly and helped get me into an accommodating room right away. The area was very nice. I felt safe. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you are on a budget. Very budget friendly but clean, friendly and safe. Nice area.

Rough experience. They couldn’t find a room key for my room at check in. Lobby is a hodgepodge of miscellaneous junk. I’ve stayed her years ago and it was better. Now just a tired motel going down hill fast. Waited about 45 minutes for them to clean another room to use.

I can't really rate it because they gave away my paid for room prior to my arrival. And yes - I arrived about 45 minutes prior to the 11:00 p.m. office closure. Neither would they refund my money explaining that it could only be refunded to Expedia.

Very old but I like that. Real wood paneling. A small couch in the room. Chairs and table outside the door. Screen door so you can leave door open without flies. It was raining so the room was really cozy.

A Place to Lay Your Head

A little worse for wear. Still, a nice old-school motel for people on a budget, looking for a place to lay their heads for the night. I would return.

Very bad experience. The room was filthy (band aid on the bathroom floor, bad smell in the room, one of the bed missing bedsheets and showing dirty stains). We were given another room but this time the toilet flush was not working (heard water flowing all night) and the cleanliness was still suspicious.
