This is an older property showing its age. The room was clean but shabby. Hallway is dingy and smelt of disinfectant. I have to wonder what the $200 required deposit is for, there doesn't seem to be anything worth that in the room. A place to sleep for one night only. No air-conditioning.

Older motel but it was a good price and there were lots of special touches like elephant folded towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste, Dove soap in a little box and Dove shampoo, and packages of slippers. Will stay here again when we go through town

The hotel was good but the only problem we had was no AC in the room. We had it out in the hallway. It was nice and cold out there but not in the room. We had to buy a fan so we could sleep the 2nd night. First night wasn’t comfortable. The pillows are very thin. We asked for another set. Otherwise everything else was good. Don’t think we would stay there again knowing the rooms aren’t cool

This place hasn't been updated since the 70's. The whole place stinks, literally. I was afraid to look in the shower stall based on the what the room looked like.

Terrible stay and terrible service.

First of all, we booked a room with a stove/oven - like the one on the picture. But when we got our room, it didn't have a stove. We were planning to prepare some meals and this was not possible. Then on the last day, we booked an extra night. But when we got back to our room, all our things were moved to another room -- we were not told they were going to do this. All our personal belongings were left out and they had shoved everything in dirty bags and moved to the other room. When we complained they said they had to servive the room. They offered no apology The man in the front dest was rude. The place was so run down and placed like this should not be allowed to operate and take money from customers.

Don’t waste your money

Very old and sub par property. Don’t waste your money to stay here. Safety a concern as doors need to be replaced. Door knob to our room didn’t even work, only the deadbolt worked. Couldn’t have many things plugged in at the same time such as tv, fridge, stove, coffee maker etc. They charge $20 per hour if you want to check in early. Very small shower but we did have hot water 😊

Decent place to stay overnight, considering all the other options are double the price. Bring extra bed linings if you're boogie. This place does the job, cheap in and out. The walls are thin.
