Desk staff was very polite and quick response time. Room itself had clean sheets and towels, an room itself was clean even if not in the best of shape. The water was the worst I have seen. It smelled of SULFUR and was only a light pressure - took forever to wet short hair. When exiting shower your entire body smelled of sulfur!

Very Friendly staff. Room was very clean. The only thing is I would suggest is they change the bedspread once in a while. I asked for a fresh one and he happily complied.

We couldn’t get in the room. The owner was always there and said that if could bother him , if we couldn’t get in. When we returned for the night, all we had to do was turn the knob. Meaning - the door was unlocked. Of course, the dead bolt worked. It is an old motel. Needs updating.

The keys didn’t work to any of the rooms, the manager had to let us each in. The chain locks were all rusted and broken off. The floors were dirty from the last person, especially the caulking around the toilet and sink were the worst we’ve ever seen. The sheets didn’t fit the bed. The lady in the room next to us had trouble getting her I.D. Back from him and felt very unsafe. This is the 1st time we’ve had a bad experience using Expedia.

Our room was very dirty, there was \"seasoning\" all over the floor so we wouldn't take our shoes off. There was something smeared on the mattress protector that may or may not have been poo, gross either way. The water smells like eggs. The man at the desk who im assuming is the owner was very friendly. Seemed like he was the only employee.

The room was austere and unwelcoming. The water took minutes to get hot and smelled like sulfur. The room had an ice bucket but there was no ice machine on the premises. The parking lot was covered in maple seeds that tracked all over the place and in one’s car.

Never again will I stay there?

It was the worst place I’ve ever stayed in the shower faucets were rusty and when I ran the water it smelt like rust. I thought it’s no way I’m taking a shower and I did not and the shower doors were really scummy, but it smelt clean the bed had clean sheets on was not bad at all. Microwave was dirty. I had to clean that out before I used it.

Horrible, Stay Away!

Horrible. Really old Desk clerk/owner? seemed to not understand english and old system so slow to check in. Was writing down all numbers from credit card on paper. Told him to scribble out when done. Booked 2 beds. Room had one. Move to only room left with 2, which was pretty much a storage room, new boxed headboards propped up against window, and missing one in our room. other headboard had big stain on it, looked like blood. No nightstand, water smelled like sulfur, stand holding tv warped and tv didn't seem to work. shower curtain gross and some stains in bathtub/toilet. no closet and overall just dirty.

Anyone that rated this place over a 1 star is a fake review, I promise. We stayed here in a bind one night for baseball tournament. It was the only place in the local area under $200 a night, and booked the day we needed it, so our fault for being desperate hoping for a safe, somewhat clean place to sleep for a few hours before my sons early game. This was by far the worst place we’ve been stayed. Here is a small list:
1. Holes in wall
2. Dirty
3. TV didn’t work
4. Exposed electrical sockets and wires
5. Disgusting, dirty towels
6. Thin walls to clearly hear a couples’ fight 2 door over
7. Dirty toilet
8. Dirty shower
9. Lack of toilet paper
10. Sinks that didn’t drain
11. No inside hotel door lock
12. Fire alarm dangling from the ceiling
13. Bugs in light inside
14. Dirty mattress
15. Ice machine filled with garbage instead of ice

If you are in a bind like us or even just want to save $50, go elsewhere and run! It’s amazing that this place is even listed on your site. Sorry but other than the location, there is not 1 thing positive I can say about this disgusting motel

Last place to choose to stay

this property is probably 50+ years old and has never been updated. Bathrooms are terrible. Rusted shower doors that don't work. Dirty toilet bowls that have permanent stains in the bowl. Water out of the faucets smells heavily of iron. Walls in the room are dirty. You can see light under the door. The dead bolt in the door lock did not work.

I survived

Functional but grim. Sink was dirty. Mirror had smudges. A/c heat was too loud so I turned it off (fortunately wasn’t a chilly night). Bed and sheets ok. Nowadays my expectations are low. No smells thank goodness. No curtain on window, Venetian blinds only so lights from outside bled through. I survived.

Needs an update, several electrical outlets did not work, tv remote didn’t work, no blow dryer, paint stains on the bathroom floor. We were an hour early and they charged $10 to get the room then. It is for sale , hopefully they can sell to someone who will update , it is a nice area for a motel.

When I arrived the bathroom was dirty. And I had to clean it myself. Other than that I did good night rest until the alarm went off at 9:30 in the morning I'm talking about the smoke alarm that woke me up. The man that worked at the front desk had already told me that check out time with 11 o'clock last night and then he comes knocks on my door this morning at 10:30 telling me again check out time with 11 and I told him I know what time it is to check out and then he tells me what hurry up and get ready to leave and I looked at him and said who are you talking to like that And I wouldn't never stay there again he did this while I was on a phone with my boyfriend.

This place was discusting. I stopped to sleep for the night to travel and there were people making sexual noise all night, I had to leave at 1am. Very uncomfortable. I’m requesting a refund and will not stop till I get refunded. Also, sheets and pillows were full of wierd liquid spills on them. Absolutely discusting. Staff was nice but the rooms lack of cleanliness, and people need to behave. Please refund me my full payment. I will not stop till recieved.

Had to book this motel last minute despite the reviews. The lady at the front desk didn’t really know what she was doing, she seemed confused. I also saw an exterminator truck outside, which already gave me a bad feeling about the rooms. The bed itself was decent, sheets seemed fine. The bathroom, however, was gross and filled with dead bugs and mold. The toilet seat was not cleaned either. Our fridge was leaking and the table was clearly not wiped down from the last guest that was there.

The baseboard heat was not working at all. It appears to have been turned off for the season, despite the outside temperature being 45 degrees at night. A noisy space heater with a bad bearing was plugged into an extension cord, but had not been turned on, so the room was very cold. Even with the noisy heater turned on I was too cold to sleep. Otherwise, nice motel.
