Front desk staff was great! Very personable and friendly. Made check in smooth and really set the overall extremely positive experience in motion. The room was perfect for what it was and it served the 'passing through on a budget' stay perfectly. The building is simply old and in need of some updates. I would stay here again with or without any updates. I felt safe, it was clean and the price was perfect.

It was rundown out dated and the walls were very thin. You only had an option of heating so we had to open the window because it was too warm in the room. During breakfast time there was a staff member behind the partition telling a story and swearing not professional at all. Bed was comfy at B least.

We are an older motel we do try our best to maintain the property. We have a single pipe system, which means we either have heat or A/C. I will be speaking to the front desk person that was working that morning, you are right that is not professional at all.

I dont mind old if kept up. Floor sticky every where. Thats a health issue. Had to wear my socks and threw them away. Put towels on floor in front of toilet, shower and sink. Urine spill in front of toilet not cleaned. Holes in walls, bed frame bottom not same as mattress, dangerous. This place should be red tagged and re done or closed. Worst i have ever seen in my life, anywhere!

I like the property because it is just off the interstate and is close to everything. One thing I didn't like about the property is that it didn't have any soap/shampoo to wash hands or take a shower. I had to walk to a gas station to buy myself a bar soap to wash my hands and had to skip shower for the one night stay there.

I usually try to see the positive in everything. And I don’t mind an older property. However…. I expect clean and I expect safe. Neither of these things were true. And I mean to the extreme of not true. I have pictures if anyone doubts me. Never ever stay here. Especially if you are a single female. Front desk folks were really nice and props to that. But the property should be shut down in my opinion. I paid $285 for 2 nights. Not bad I thought considering I chose the property because I could leave my two tiny dogs in the room while I went out. I should have paid a dog sitter. Ugh.
