Outdated, burnt out light bulb, loose electrical outlet. Friendly staff when they were available. Despite this, it is a place to lay your head for the night.

The motel was supposedly for people with pets. I understand that part but the bathwoom window looked like there was mold all around the frame it was black. I certainty will not go there again or recommend to anyone.im surprised an inspector would approve such a room.

The host was very friendly , nice and easy to deal with. The property location is easy to find and haze the parking right in front of the door. Checking in was easy-peasy as Sam can handle it oven if he is not on the premises.

I did not like that they did not honour our reservation and instead sent a message an hour after we were to check in to say they booked all the pet friendly rooms in their motel but we could stay at another one they owned which was not anything like what we had booked
