Needed to have small table and a couple of chairs and a futon that sits too low to the floor makes it hard for older people to get up

I was charged 22.00 additional for my ESA pets.
In cash, no receipt! Seemed fishy. Although both men upon check-in were very friendly. I asked the office if they had a blow dryer and he said no, and there was no in room coffee. That would’ve made it more pleasant.

Great stay,
The hotel is well maintained while still having the charm of a classic motel. Room was clean and the bed comfortable. Shower had good water pressure and hot water. Parking lot in front well maintained. Would recommend in a second.

No frills motels
One of the only motel during my trip that had a physical key instead of a door card. This is not a complaint, just an observation. My room was on the first floor and I was able to park right in front. My room was comfortable. Nothing to complain about.

Good for an overnight stop
Pros: Decent roadside motel ideal for a one night stop. The staff were nice, the room was a bit older, and the facility overall was in good shape.
Cons: We had a random dirty washcloth left in our shower. The bed had some sort of metal base that is very loud when you get in/out of bed.

Jul 17, 2024
The bed was too close to the air conditioning unit. The air conditioning unit was very noisy. There was a unit above ours where the floor was apparently hollow because the sound from the residents thumping around was very loud. There were no cups in the room for water. There were no tissues. There was an odor in the room which was probably old cigarette smoke. The bath linens also had a very nasty smell like they were not cleaned properly. Needless to say we only stayed one night of our extended stay and left early the next day to find another place to stay!

Oasis in a struggling town
Park in front of your room hotel - had to ring a doorbell to get lobby access to check in. Need to stress value priced hotel. ie; no soap etc supplied. Room was clean, bathroom clean bed firm which I like. TV was clear. Some sketchy seeming people staying in rooms nearby, made me a bit uncomfortable not knowing their story. I like supporting these kinds of hotels - they are a dying traveling choice.

It's an older property, but in very good shape. The bed was very comfortable and huge one of the largest king beds I have ever slept in, not lumpy or breaking down. Not the Ritz but way better than most chains, great mom and pop joint.
