Would have been nice to have wooden floor shown in the picture. Instead of thr stained slightly musty carpet. It was freshly painted, the furniture was relatively new and it was clean. So, it appeared someone was trying. But the wifi was also very bad, only coffee and only in the morning and what bothered me the most, what is advertised as a patio is a fenced off storage area when I opened the window. So, that was pretty deceiving. It's also a run down area. Not terrible I guess if your on the road and just need a place to crash for the night. It's okay. Clean and fairly comfortable.

Old and outdated. Only the minimum amount of upkeep. Had cable, yet the bare minimum of the channels were enabled. A/C worked but if you change a setting it would stop.

I like that the owner was on the property. This is an older motel. But it was very very clean. We always check the rooms. It was nice to have a slider door with a patio outside. I plan to stay at this motel again. Clean and affordable.

Worst EVER!!!!

We walked into the hotel, which felt like an "rent by the hour" hotel. Hotel smelled. Walked into room and flipped on the main light switch by the door, didn't work. Had to hunt for another light. Sheets were stained on one of the beds. Room had a "mildew" smell and the humidity was horrible. TV remote did not work. The TV was stuck on ROKU and could not get the cable box to work. The blankets on the bed are basically tissue paper. We were in the room for about 30 and just decided to leave. It was already late and I did not feel like confronting the staff there. Tell you what....STAY AWAY! RUN! Stay somewhere else! HOTELS.COM should take this hotel off their platform.
