This motel is used mainly by oil field workers as it gives them affordable accommodations. But this means the rooms are heavily used and the workers tend to bring some of the field into the building with them. The halls were heavily soiled with dirt that didn’t abate during my 3 day stay. The bathrooms have been updated in the past few years but there is more that needs to be done. The new owner is proposing to do that and I hope they are successful as being in an oil town makes it difficult to keep the buildings up, good staff happy and still remain affordable.
