A solid 1-star motel. From the drive up curb unappeal (apparent unused vacant units, dilapidated siding, ill-fitting AC units, concrete overflow and weed sprouts at footings, etc.) to the cowbell door annunciator to bring attendant from hallway, to the prominent hand-written “NO REFUNDS” sign pointedly displayed over the check in desk, you may feel something other than welcome.
The good? Our unit door locked, the electric heaters were effective (if smelling of burnt dust), the toilet flushes, the linen seemed clean.
The bad and ugly? The in-wall AC unit (showing the service filter light) wasn’t sealed completely and allowed a noticeable draft from the window to intrude into the only seating area; similarly, the door seal was open enough to show light in bottom corner when closed. General uncleanliness: “Lick and a promise” might describe the cleaning style, heavy on the “promise”. Most motel bathrooms show a little mold on the caulk around the tub, but this bathroom had a colony of black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum?) as big as your palm spread on the wall to the floor between the tub and the heater. There was enough that it could be considered a health hazard.
My wife dropped her keys off the dresser and had to pull it out from the wall to retrieve them — suffice it to say this may have been the first time this decade the dresser was moved.
Our recommendations? Book a room elsewhere—you might need to drive farther but you won’t regret it.
