1) Googlemaps led us to a boarded up side of the motel where there were weeds and peeling paint. 2) The place looked abandoned, except for a truck with equipment in the back with the motel room door wide open. I assumed that he was removating the motel. I called expedia to rebook me in another motel but they could not find me other motels/hotels in my price range. I told them I would find a hotel. I started my search at the motel right next to this one. And, as it turns out, the owner of this motel just bought the motel where I was booked and that this manager was the person whom I was to get my keys from. I told him that the place looked abandoned and I would like to see a room. He would not let me see a room until I checked in. I told him I would be back. I walked next door to the first motel. The truck owner was acually a guest with lots of fishing equipment in the back of hsi truck. I asked him how clean his room was and he allowed me to look through his door to see for myself. It was clean. I went back to the other motel to ckeck in, but the manager had been watching me through security cameras. He said I was "rude for going into another guest's room". I told him I did not go in but that the truck owner gave me permission to look into his room. The manager still insisted that I was rude for looking in, even with permission. I still checked in. 3) There was a sleep depriving rattling noise in the wall. 4) furnace pilot light was out. Manager fixed it

Clean but not a good stay

It was clean but the bathroom had dead bugs in the shower and toilet. The bed was garbage, slept in a 4 inch deep pit the mattress was shot. Outdoor lighting was so bright it illuminated the room at night, not conducive to getting a good nights rest.

I have pictures but unable to post on this review. There was 5 cars in the parking lot, they must have given me the smallest room in the room in the motel. There was just enough space for the double size bed and there was not a right angle to be seen with its odd configuration. The two windows had bars on them and it abuts a street in a residential area. The heater did not work
