Liked the cute cabin like feel of the motel and has a lot of potential to be good again. The room and beds were clean but room definitely needs some upgrades and there was way too much and awkward old furniture in the rooms. Was a place to sleep but no draws to want to stay again.

DON'T...repeat don't...stay here!

We did not actually stay here because the hotel was so run down, and I mean Bates Motel run down, that we left. The clerk gave us three rooms to choose from. One was smoke-filled, one was filled with an overpowering ammonia cleaner smell, and the third had such badly sloping floors that it would have been uncomfortable. The bathrooms were shabby but clean. The photos online looked so cute and kitschy but the reality was a 180 switch. the cute restaurant, which we were excited to try, apparently burned down last year but nobody thought to update any of this information to the booking sites. This place is nothing but a teardown. Go somewhere else...please!

We went to check in and this place so dirty! The person next door was blasting music which could clearly be heard in our room. Upon checking the beds, we found hair and a blood stain on the box spring. We ended up not staying and finding alternative accommodation.

This motel was a drive-in and drive out. We got to the room he gave us. We couldn’t find the light switch to turn the lights on could not find a bathroom. It just didn’t feel right so we left. Yes, we paid but I’ll think twice again before using hotels.com to book a hotel.

Misleading advert

Pictures are outdated. There is no longer a restaurant yet all the pictures show this as if it is the hotel. The reception desk is in a gas station. We were overcharged for a pet fee despite not having a pet. The room smelt like stale smoke and was full of bugs. Good price but misleading advertisement. Hotels.com did not resolve these issues or complaints they passed them off to the hotel.

Dirty, dusty. Smelled of cigarettes. Door didnt lock properly. Was given the wrong key and walked into someone elses room while they where lying in bed. Guy at the front didnt seem to bother, just told us to try another room. The list is endless. Never again.

Never ever!!!!! Ever!!

Got there after a long day of driving in less than optimal conditions to find no check in office. Apparently it’s in the gas station which was closed. Check in closes after 10 pm which would have been really great to know PRIOR to booking!!! Called 2-3 times with no answer. Ended up going to the Marriott across the street which was wonderful. Never ever will consider this motel again. Looked rather rundown and NOTHingile the pics. Guess the 93 cent gas in the pic shoulda been my first guess.

Good for short term stays.

There were quite a few options nearby for food. The store had some food available to purchase. We didn’t stay for breakfast and coffee. The bed was relatively comfortable and the bed was clean.

Price was fantastic. Would not stay for more than a night, however, as the room was very stuffy, outdated, and dirty. Bed was comfortable, however, I refused to go under the blankets (due to uncertain cleanliness of the linens)

Person checking me in argued about the price i booked at. Kept saying it was the old price and didnt know how i booked it at that. Outside of building is in terrible shape, rotting wood deck in front of door. Signs falling apart, torn up lot. AC didnt work well enough and room was extremely hot and made it hard to sleep.

It is challenging to write a review for this property as it is a 2 star rating. I booked it because all the reviews I read indicated the room was very clean. We did not experience that. We were grateful the parking was directly in front of the door and the location was convenient for traveling. We also saved a bundle of money compared to the rates of other motels.

This place is horrible. Photos on website are very old. This place broken down, grunge, dirty, no grass, cigarette butts and garbage everywhere. Dont feel safe. Bugs, dirty. No restaurant closed a yr ago. Wanted to stay for fun for kids, this place is disgusting . Long weekend everything else booked. Sleep in car better than this place. Empty beer cans all over, sketchy people. No screens in windows that safety lick by putting a stick in to secure window, bugs in window cracks. Falling apart, peeling paint, ceiling stains, floor warped, and small so small. Dont stay here. I paid $95 maybe worth $25 if you had to stay like i did. Never again! Big pile of garbage.
What it looks like now, NOTHING as advertised or photos you see online. FALSE ADVERTISED!!
Parking out front door, whole place thousands of cigarette butt's, dirty old bottles and beer cans, disgusting
Dirty, unsafe windows no screen faces hwy
Faded out sign says restaurant no restaurant closed at least 1yr ago
