The place is what you would expect from an old Motel. The room smelled a bit funky but clean… as it could be. Small things could be fixed up with little effort like fix hole in drywall, get some bath towels that aren’t wore torn with holes in them… it is Xmas week so I get the price being up buuut really not worth what charging. Good hot shower and unit was nice and warm. Go into gas station fir check in.

Property was behind gas station and restaurant. Room was not very modern in terms of decor but had all the basics. Its a good hotel to stop for the night if you are looking for a place to stay while on the road.

I didn’t stay at this hotel because they asked for a $200 deposit (which I knew) and when I went into the room it smelled of cigarette smoke in the bathroom and there was a hole in one of the doors. I was concerned they might make me pay for the damage. If they want a deposit the room should be in good shape before entering.

This property was the worst property I have ever been to. It was definitely old and dated but it was very unclean. The people hanging around the property sounded like they were having a party. I do not recommend this property for adults let alone children
