No microwave in room. There is a Microwave in a shared area but is not maintained (disgusting smell, spilled food,etc ). The room has a window ac which was not on when we arrived therefore the room smelled moldy. In addition there is too much dust in windows, behind the furniture. There was only one small soap bar/mini shampoo for 3 people. I asked the manager and was given another mini shampoo. Toilet seat was too small for the toilet. I feel the room condition should have been in better shape for the high price paid $152/night

If you don't mind leaving a motel room where your door isn't actually locked from the outside, then this is the place to stay. Room 37 with the King Size bed did not lock from the outside. We could push the door open without using the key. From the inside, there is a bolt and a cord for the door knob. So while inside, secure, when not physically there, it's not... so I wouldn't leave anything valuable there. We found out that the toilet area must have been put in where a closet must have originally been.. wiping proved difficult for out medium statures. No breakfast is included, which we knew. I don't know how old the coffee was for the coffee maker inside. The soap bars were preopened and maybe wintered in this room as they were wet when pulled out of the package. The fridge worked well. The heat worked and the ac worked. Bed a little stiff, but doable. overall clean and just a basic place to stay. The outlets need replacing as some are cracked and really didn't hold the charging cords well. Would I stay here again. possibly ... hubby says no.

Suspicious electrical!

Old motel. We needed a place to sleep. My friend was sick and I didn’t have much time to search. The weekend was very busy and rooms were very expensive. We were just passing through. Mattresses were awful. Room seemed clean enough. No plugs except this mess under TV!

The motel was very clean but nothing fancy. It was a room for the night. Nothing I would want to stay long term at.

You get what you pay for. The motel seems nice enough. But I would definitely not walk barefoot on the carpet, they need a deep clean. When a looked under the bed, to see that there was nothing there that we might forgotten, there were 2 water bottles and a bunch of pretzels, and a lot of dust. It hasmt bee n vacuumed in a vary long while. The rest of the room itself was quite old but. The bed was clean and that's what really matters.The rest was OK, it's needs to get renovated, I think it dates back to the fifties.
