Only room left on the “good” side of the place with 2 beds was a smoking room. Don’t smoke and never have - room smelled disgusting. Property/rooms are very dated.

Not for me

This place would have been the last place I would have stayed if there was a better alternative in town. Very, very old and poorly repaired. Thought I was in 1975 with the furnishings. Thank God I only had to stay one night.

Older hotel but the owners do a good job at maintaining it. It's been a good long while since I have stayed a night there prior to this stay. I noticed several updates such as the flooring in the bathroom, fresh paint on the walls, etc. I didn't hear a peep from any of the neighboring rooms or from outside which was fantastic. If you like a firm bed, you'll get a great night of sleep, unless you're like my husband who thinks he has to sleep on a mattress made out of 10 layers of memory foam 🙄😄 The room smelled fantastic! The sheets, pillow cases, bathroom towels, etc all looked new (otherwise very very well bleached). My ONLY complaint: the lighting in the bathroom ceiling has fans which had a bunch of caked up dust in it. So there's giant dust bunnies up around the light bulbs. Maybe a stick duster can knock all that out? Television worked great. Mini fridge was super clean and kept our drinks perfectly cold... and the window curtains kept all morning light out so we got to sleep in a bit later than usual which my husband did not complain about 😄 Thank you once again for another positive experience!

The check in area is a bit sketchy, the older Indian gentleman checks you in from behind a plexiglass panel and you slide your ID through a little slot at the bottom! He didn’t say much but he soon exchanged my payment for his room key. The rooms are dated but clean, and they were painting the outside of the hotel while I was staying. It’s the best hotel in this town! (The only hotel in this town!)

This is not a bad review. Just trying to be real here. They do the best they can with what they have to work with. If you’ve put off by the idea of staying in a very old “motel” in a small rural community, you should probably look elsewhere. This is my second stay in 18 months. For the price, it works for me.

Meh.

Room was clean and comfortable if old. The AC stopped working about 12 am, and then I was up fiddling with it every hour and a half to try to get it going. Manager was upset as he said he replaced all the units just last year. Wondered why I didn't contact him. (to move us? to send a repair man at midnight? Don't think so-but the sentiment was nice. Whether or not the concern was genuine). No ice machine. No coffee. And really out of our way for a "meh" experience. Would not be likely to stay again.

Don't judge by the outside

I was regretting my decision to book this room when I saw the outside of the motel. It is quite old. I was relieved when the room was nice and comfortable and clean. The walls had been painted, the t.v. was nice and there was a fridge with freezer and a microwave. The shower was warm and with decent pressure. Beds were fine.

OK place to stay

This is an older property but the room was fixed up pretty well, bed was comfortable, things were clean. Nothing fancy here but was an OK budget priced overnight stay.
