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.

Ok for overnight
If there are other choices for a bit more money, I'd skip this place and go there! The bed was comfortable sheets were clean but the room itself needs a thorough deep clean.

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.

My room had a centipede that I saw and killed, but there may have been more. Killed some spiders in the tub before taking a shower. Last 2 days there got bug bites which I don’t know from what. Was able to get new towels from staff when I asked.

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.
