Not like the picture

This is a budget hotel, yes. Grease stained carpet, chips out of the wall, ripped lamp shades, smelly room, men outside my room smoking for hours, then up at 4am blasting music, dog whining. YUCK! Big sign outside motel saying rooms have been renovated. Mine was not!!

A friendly greeting, a clean room with a fridge and microwave, snug but comfortable. There is a window AC unit I did not need to turn on. Not much can be done about the thin walls; you definitely hear the neighbors' conversation. There are two entrances to the lodge from Sudderth, both of them tricky to navigate from the busy main road. Even so, would certainly stay here again.

For the price point, it’s difficult to speak too poorly of this motel, but there was a noticeable musty smell in my room, which was fairly unpleasant. It wasn’t mold, but it smelled like the AC filter hadn’t been changed in ages. Beyond that, the room could have been in better shape. There was a broken lampshade in mine.

There were several little black bugs in te ceiling of our room, I tried to get rid of them but couldn’t there were too many. We only stayed one night for the same reason.

The bed was comfortable. The a/c just blew to the closet. The parking was awful, came back after dinner and cars, trucks were everywhere and anywhere they could sqeeze in. I had a paid room but no where to park. I would recommend assigned oarking for room!
