The motel needs some work. Broken windows on some of the rooms, security chains attached to trim, strong musty smell, dirty washcloths, and stains that looked like blood on the boxspring mattress. The staff person who checked me in was kind and helpful, but the room was pretty gross and I did not feel particularly safe.
They canceled my reservation but did not tell me. I found out when I got there. There was an event in town so there weren't any available rooms anywhere. I slept in my car at campgrounds, better deal at $15.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was so disgusting and terrifying dirty.
Cigarette burns on tub.
Floors so dirty.
Very clean and comfortable. I booked it online and the desk clerk was very upset over it. She berated her boss and complained about everything during the 10 minutes it took to check us in. She acted like it was such a bother to check us in.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
We could not get checked in, no one at the office. No return phone calls. Had to sleep in our trucks.
The place is up for sale so when I pulled in there was a note on the door that said I had to call to get some one to get checked in with.
Overall it was a lot better than the previous hotel I stayed at.
Thank you
Older small-town county hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. No major damage. Older furniture, rugs, etc. Modern TV and appliances. I would stay again.
first 3 rooms looked at hadn't been clean, next room tv didn't work, last room had a air conditioner that didn't work.. very hot room until I opened the windows at midnight. Miserable stay.
