  : Close to the main area of town. Toilet, fridge, and microwave work. The bathroom seemed clean. The remote checkin was relatively painless and convenient. The bed and pillows were meh
  : I typically like old motels but this place desperately needs to be renovated. I started sneezing 30 minutes after getting to my room and woke up really stuffy. The sheets and a couple towels had stains (but appeared like they had been washed). The door had no chain lock and only the lock on the door knob. There were also gaps around the door to the outside from the door being very old and not maintained. As a solo female I felt unsafe and put a chair under the door handle. Also, there was no AC or heater. There was what looked like an ancient heating wall unit that I am fairly certain no longer works and would probably burn down the building if it was turned on. The windows were single pane, ancient, and dirty. . This room would be really cold in the winter. At the back of the room was another door that had a board nailed across the top and furniture in front of it. If I were to open it, it would open to the back of the motel. The shower was a small stall that doesn't drain well. I would absolutely not stay here again.

Very Poor

  : The location was awesome! I got to have my dogs with me. For a fee. The place is dated.
  : The bottom of the door for are room needed some work. Mice could get in and heat would get out. I would think they would fix that. I would think that would be an easy fix. The bathroom was very dated. A lot of mildew in the shower. I would not even think about taking a shower there. We had a problem when we left. We could not find the key. We just came back from a walk with my dogs and getting back in my daughter unlocked the room to start packing the car and we left the key in the door and shut the door because I have dogs with the key in the lock, because we were going back out to pack the car. Then we could not find the key. Someone had to have taken the key out of the lock. We were not even going to take two mins. and we would be out to pack the car. Property manager wanted 50.00 cash for another key to be made. I did not have cash only credit card so he let us go. I feel like it was a scam!

Pleasant
Traveller Type:
  : Location is perfect. Appreciated cleanliness of room. Surprised by the quietness of surrounding rooms. Coffee pot. Double sinks with double beds.
  : Small, tight, crumbling parking lot. Had to have faith that area was safe (entry door old). Had to be ok with lack of upkeep to exterior.

Fair

  : We did not have any breakfast at the facility or knew about it. I liked the price of the room for one night as it was reasonable for a one night stay. The room was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable.
  : The building itself is old and needs upgrades. The door to the room does not lock very well and the chain on the door must be used to ensure the sturdiness. A small breeze blew the door open slightly and if the chain was not on the door, the door would have completely opened. The shower tile is falling apart and there is no place to put your towel for when you get out of the shower. A hook by the shower would be ideal. There is no shelf to put your shampoo and soap, so having a shelf in the shower would be ideal. The sheets although smelled clean had a couple of stains on them.

Very Good

  : Clean and affordable
  : Little out dated but ok

Good
Traveller Type:
  : It was an older place, but there were people doing work and painting and remodeling rooms so I knew somebody was at least attentive to the property
  : Coffee was pretty weak. Would need to use both just to have a bold flavor.

  : The manager was really nice and proudly showed us a newly renovated room. The location is centrally located. Price was reasonable.
  : Unfortunately our room was not renovated and in really bad shape. Moldy grout tiles, dirty floorboards, shower drain plugged up, sway backed matresses. Its located next to a bar with very loud live band until well past midnight.
