Simple budget motel

A quick last minute booking for a quick sleep and shower. Easy check in at 11 pm. Simple bed, bathroom, fridge, microwave and soap only. No shampoo. Bed was ok but pillow was hard as rock. Location was ok. My truck was full of camping stuff in the back and it was still there in the morning so that was a plus.

Everything was great! The only thing that they might need is a keurig. It’s nice to have coffee early in the morning. Check in was fast and easy and super convenient.

No Star Motel

Upon opening the door there was a overpowering dank, musty smell. The chair by the desk was very dirty, the pillows were faded yellowish white, not very clean looking. The bathroom grout on the floor and shower was very dirty. We did not stay and are unable to get refund because it stated no refunds.

Family Trip Ruined

Before we walked in to our room there was a man on the top stairs drinking beer and getting high,when we went into our room the room looked nothing like the pictures I seen online the room looked old and dirty the comforter on the bed had cigarette burns on them the walls were dirty and scuffed up furniture was old and dusty, the room smelled like cigarette so we ended up cutting our trip short because we were definitely not gonna stay in that dump so we were so upset it ruined our family trip and ended up leaving back home if the pictures online would of matched the actual room I’m sure we would of had a different outcome.
