Bed was nice but that's the end of the good. The bad: old, run down, smelled bad, ac was very loud, no cable tv, and worse of all, no hot water. When I mean no hot water, I mean zero. Ice cold. Would not ever recommend.

Can’t believe Expedia had this Motel at an 8.6 Excellent. There was a bug in my bed that the manager called a water bug. There wasn’t any other rooms left and she didn’t even offer clean sheets. The bed was terrible. The air conditioning didn’t work good. The shower had no hot water. We got no sleep! Not a good stay!!

Driver loves this little motel when he’s in the area. The only issue was I was booking it for him and they didn’t accept that the card used on Expedia so he had to pay out of pocket and now has to be reimbursed instead of using the credit card that I booked it with.

It was clean but at $100 a night, I expected more amenities. There was no coffee pot, hair drier, very few electrical outlets, the refrigerator wasnt even plugged in, and the arrangement for the hanging rack was strange.

This is a hidden gem. From the outside it looks like a typical slightly run-down older motel, but the inside has been beautifully redone! Excellent bed and pillows, plenty of towels, walk in shower, unique cart-style bedside table, reading lamp, new wood flooring, triple door locks. Super impressed!

This hotel is a real charm. Stopped for one night driving home and it is now my place to stop. Small, but very clean. The staff is super friendly and there’s a great little restaurant. This is no resort hotel, but it is ideal for highway driving - and a great overnight stop! I will stop again

This is a Family Business. It revolves around the Restaurant for Check In, Ice, and Questions. The Room was spacious enough and clean. Parking is at your door, no stairs or elevator or disinterested Staff. The restaurant was an excellent place to eat and just across the lot. I prefer supporting a conscientious family operation than a potluck mass chain with mediocre Cleanliness and Disinterested staff. If you are a late check-in you will need to call ahead for arrangements. They watch the business so take your nefarious behavior elsewhere.

Made a reservation 2 days before arrival. Indicated we'd be checking in at 9pm. Arrived at 9:03 pm, walked into cafe where check-ins were supposed to happen. Informed grumpy lady who grudgingly got off the stool that we were there to check in. "We don't have any rooms," she said. "Oh, we have a reservation," I said. She glanced down at a piece of paper with about a dozen names on it, and without asking for ours, she simply responded, "No." "Would you like my confirmation number," I asked? "Don't worry, we won't charge your card," was the response.

The hostess was kind, but the door to our room had many damages and we didn’t feel safe so we left and found another hotel. Door outer damage—missing wood at handle had appearance of a former break in. Flimsy locks and one non functioning. Bottom door broken leaving corner hole to outside access. Too questionable for remote location and didn’t feel comfortable so we left.
