The motel charged us $10 per child, per night, just keep this in mind when booking!!!! The rooms are poorly taken care of, mold in the bathroom, even the bathroom toilet seat is peeling. The pillows are as flat as pancakes. The staff argued with us that we brought a dog to our room, but we had only brought blankets from home and we have 3 dogs in our household. There were dead squirrels in the front green space of the hotel, which is the only “hang out” space around. The staff were rude and ignorant when asking for extra towels (they only gave us 1 towel even though they knew 4 people would be in the room). Rude again when asked for extra bedding for a fold out couch. There is no soap/shampoo/conditioner or even a box of Kleenex provided in the rooms, just as a heads up to future renters!

40$ charge for two kids. 2 adults, 2 kids in a two double bed room with a pullout couch. Extra charge but had only two towels. Pullout couch bedding was filthy and needed me to ask to change. When cooking originally said kitchenette. There was only a microwave and mini fridge.

Very outdated. The room was super dark and dingy. They put a tub insert over the existing tub but didnt glue the insert to the bottom of the tub, so it clicks when you are standing in it. Smelt damp. Theres small trees and weeds growing in the gutters above the entrance to the rooms. They need a better over haul. Its quite expensive for what your getting!

This hotel is in need of a serious upgrade. The room was dark and looked dirty. The had something in the room that I am guessing was supposed to make the room smell nice but it just seemed like it was disguising a musty smell. We didn't end up staying and found a different motel nearby.

Budget stay

This is a budget motel. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but the facility could use a major renovation. The price was right for a one night stay. Be aware, there are no frills. There was only one cup for the coffee maker in the room.

Inexpensive for a reason

The price was good but reflected in the overall condition of the room. There was a stale cigarrette smell, and the room was only moderately clean. There was trash and cigarette butts on the ground at the entrance.

Not sure how they received any stars. Met many other guests and all were very disappointed/disgusted. Tub would not drain it was so plugged, which had me question even they even wash the stained sheets.
