Room was comfortable. Tank on the toilet was loose, dirt on the shower walls, microwave was filthy, freezer needed to be defrosted, pool was under major repairs.
Owners were friendly but did not speak English very well.
Place just needed a lot of maintenance in the yard as well..
Would not stay again.

Low key. Did the job for two buddies going to a car race but certainly not a place to bring the wife for a getaway.
We chose this hotel because we need to do laundry after 6 days on the road, for price and location. The pictures online are beautiful and the exterior of the motel is quite pleasant, nice setting. The first thing we notice is that the main office occupied with family watching TV and the door notice says they have Covid, use the night window. OK... then we see the laundry room; filthy, machines rusty. We question the attendant about that and he says 'they work fine and are clean inside, but let me know when you want to use and i'll show you how to make work.'
In the room we see a huge stain on the carpet, poorly cleaned. The pillows are very small and very thin. It was pouring rain and we didnt want to waste our money so we stayed. To get the washing machine to work you had to put a weight over the safety switch to keep it in contact; and when you checked to see if clothes are dry, the dryer wont stop turning. very frustrating.
In the second section of the motel there appeared to be 'residents' staying, some staggering around in the parking lot. Not a place i would recommend to anyone.
Check in was easy….. room smelled musty… sink and tub drain were very very very slow…. Remote control for the TV did not work properly( no volume control ) mattress covers were stained and dirty…. Carpet was sticky to walk on
They are so friendly here and because I was alone they put me close to the office made me feel even safer it may not be the fanciest hotel it it is clean and the staff if very friendly and welcoming I would highly recommend them
I believe that the property is easy and convenient. It is easily accessible and for a low price! Overall, was an amazing stay and I would recommend staying if it is a weekend stay.
The owners were really professional. However the room was very dirty. The air conditioner works. I had just completed a 100 mile bike ride so I was pretty tired and did not care where I went to sleep I just needed a place to stay so even though the room was in bad condition I was thankful. If it had been a different situation where I was not as tired as I was I would not have stayed at that location I would have found a room somewhere else.
The pictures were nothing like the place of stay. The rooms were covered in rat poop, urine stains on sheets, and also other body fluids. We had to leave and find another place to stay due to these issues. Also didn’t receive a refund.
If its just a couple guys staying for the race it will do. Do not take your girlfriend to this dump. The rooms smell like cigarettes and urinal cakes. Paint and carpet is gross.
Room was very nasty, yellow stained sheets, blood on the bed and wall, bugs crawling, bathtub obviously used. Do not waste your money. We asked for a new room or for this one to be cleaned we were told to leave. No refund or anything.
They lied about having a pool on line the one they did have broken all the way down to the cement floor full of nasty water it's been down for years rooms are nasty dirty floors do not stay here bad hotel bad service there are bad people that live there year round stay away from this motel

It was Okay
I requested a king size bed, but got two doubles. Room smelled like moth balls, but it was a place CD w to lay your head down.
Comforter and curtains had holes in them. There were fleas in the room. Room was not very clean.

It was a “get what you pay for” type situation. Cheapest I could find at the last minute, but the beds weren’t super comfy, stains on the walls, broken furniture, and just generally dirty.
