Not a great place. Curtains were literally moth eaten. Bathtub faucet was falling off. Bug droppings all around the windows. Renovations are clearly DIY with terrible fit and finish. Location is good and bed was very comfortable. Great pizza at the restaurant.

It's obvious that the owners don't care about this place just a little paint to cover the stains, new blankets that aren't full of holes and replacing the deteriorated lamp would help and not cost that much. This motel is in really bad shape for the price. The location is nice though

It was good and what we expected for a motor inn. Room amenities were fine - appreciated small fridge. Bed was comfortable but missing top sheet. No onsite breakfast but nearby Doris’s diner attached to gas station was a good hearty breakfast.

Large room but tiny bathroom with the sink outside. Although room was generally clean there were places where the cleaning had been missed and dust existed such as on the lower shelves of both nightstands. The flooring had small gaps here and there in floor boards. No ceiling light and the light provided by the 2 bedside lamps was barely adequate at best. The bathroom sink was very, very slow to drain. The bathtub and showerhead were in desperate need of replacement as they had permanent discolouring and rust spots. Internet was generally on the slow side. This was supposed to be a deluxe room, although decent, it really didn't live up to that billing.

We stayed at this motel before and were very happy. This time the room was in poor condition, perhaps because it was pet friendly, not sure.

Although the room was newlybrenovatedcand clean the customer service was poor. There was no top sheet on our bed and when I asked they simply handed me one rather than making the bed. We stayed 3 nights and no one empty our garbage or replenished coffee, shower needs or linens.
