You get what you pay for. The tv was good. The floors were sticky which is unforgiveable. Not enough lighting. One light in the room and one light in the bathroom. There is one chair. There isn't a bath mat in the bathtub / shower therefore the bathtub is a fall waiting to happen.
The ad said room has kitchenette but the room doesnt have it. Upon asking to the receptionist, he said the kitchen from all rooms where removed 2-3 months ago. They dont offer any more kitchenette option.
In Bathroom, bathing area have glass so that a person who is in another building on the same level could see everything
The AC is too old that it looks too unsafe and scary to use.
The window locks are broken that anyone cpuld easily open it and if kids are there and they might open it and cause an accident. No safety nets on windows.
If needed, pictures can be provided.
Very unpleasant experience as there is nothing that matches the description provided.
The bed was good the bathroom good the building is in disrepair.

Is this property an undiscovered gem? No. Is it an apparently underutilized resource? Absolutely. No frills. Not particularly pretty. Limited parking. BUT… if passing thru and on a budget, this motel checks all the necessary boxes. Clean. Pet friendly. Fairly quiet. One floor. Restaurants nearby. Comfortable beds.

The property appears to be being upgraded. The room was spotless and new appliances, bedding, paint, flooring. Hoping for a good nights sleep travelling long days - sadly the drunk fighting couple next door created much noise from 1 to 5 am. Bad luck on our part. Won’t likely stay again, will be wanting 24 hour desk in future. That said / motel itself was adequate for overnight stay.
No lights by bed...plug on wall not working had to move bed out to get plug for cpap machine...no phone...only main switch shut off plug in use only one small window for ventilation no air conditioner no instructions on how to use tv not happy with stay.
An aging classic motel. Clean room with new flooring and beds. Quite comfortable. Wifi, fridge, microwave, no coffee maker. Central air conditioning which you can't control, but it works. Really friendly helpful staff and a copy of the Bhagavad Gita in the bedside table... a refreshing change from the Gideon Bible. 😁
