I messed up on the reservation. I live locally, so I drove down there & straightened it out. The desk clerk was very attentive & reasonable. We are having work done at our house & wanted a nice place for a hot shower. The room was nice & clean. The bathroom was immaculate. This is an older facility, so I was a bit Leary. However, the room was clean, didn't smell. My shoes did not stick to the carpet, my body did not stick to the bedspread. Oh, BTW, the bedspread had a 6" tear in it. Other than that, everything was great. I have nightmare stays at other small motels out of State. I was pleasantly surprised. Thank Great Western!!

Clean your room or get humiliated at checkout.
Everything was fine until I checked out. When I leave any hotel I make sure all my trash is in bags all the towels are in one place for the most part. Front desk person which is probably also the owner went to check the room came back and then proceeded to shame me because the floor was dirty. Ask me if I live like that and why there was things on every part of the floor mind you this was probably ashes for my cigarettes which they don't provide a ashtray so I was using makeshift ones trying my best I did tip one of them over and there was ashes on the side of my bed I do not carry a vacuum cleaner with me so I could not vacuum up the ashes that's on me but to try to humiliate me in front of other people calling me nasty asking me how do I live like this is absolutely unacceptable . Mind you when I first got into the room you could tell that the carpet had not been vacuumed from grass debris and other things on the floor also there's trash underneath the bed from previous tenants If your housekeeper's clean so well why was I finding trash underneath the bed. Why was I looking underneath the bed because I dropped my phone behind it. Why whenever I went to open the towels there were multiple numerous permanent stains. The room was not trashed The floor was dirty why did you feel necessary to try and humiliate me. If I knew I could upload pictures beforehand I would have definitely taken pictures of all the things mentioned before.

The staff was nice and they were diligently working on the grounds. The wi-if is very poor, the sink kept stopping up, the toilet wasn’t affixed solidly to the floor, the shower curtain needed replacing, and it was very close to a busy intersection which made it difficult to leave for meals etc.

I never was able to register even with your paperwork. They said they did not have a reservation under my name and nothing from Expedia. I was told to leave. I had to get a new motel for the week end. Politeness was not one of their virtues nor was any friendliness or manners exhibited. I want my money back.

It’s was a ok room for a night in and out but there were some younger cats outside from room to room from when I checked in at 930-8 the next morning. The ppl outside were noisy and the room was really noisy plus they have the brightest flood lights ever beaming through the window shade that won’t close all the way. Had ppl walking past my hotel back and forth all night. They don’t allow guests so no prostitution but you’d think they did with the ppl drinking in the parking lot. Would not recommend to a single woman or a family. Strictly a man the can carry imo.

My apologies for your negative experience. As to the no pet policy, if you have a service animal and you provide the paperwork we always allow. Have a blessed day!

The only thing I didn’t like was I asked for a non-smoking room and I was given a smoking room and the bedsheets and comforter had cigarette burns. The bed was not comfortable at all.

Most horrible stay ever. The property owner is just plain rude. The hotel room was filthy. The towels were stained. There was no safety lock on the inside of the door. There was a piece of toilet paper shoved in the peephole to cover that up. There was what looked like blood or red paint all over the curtains. There were burn holes in the sheets and the comforter.

This place charged me a second time for $6.50 and I want my entire money back because this place was filthy and the towels were stained and dirty and then he blamed me for a towel being dirty when all I did was take a shower with it when it was already stained I argued with the owner and he offered the amount in credit for another night.
