Help! Let me in!

When we arrived there was a notice on the office indicating we had to check in online. However after completing the online check in we could not access our room number or code to get in. After speaking with another guest who had the same issue we were given a phone number for someone out of state who gave us the information we needed. This is no way to run a motel!! There was no one on site to help with any issues! We do not recommend this establishment!

Elk antler stay

Room was next to a gas station so noisy. Bed frame was a box that overhung the bed and hard on my toe in the middle of the night. Room was clean and fridge was larger than most rooms. Coffee was instant.

A little underwhelmed

The first thing that hit me when we walked into our room was the smell of pee, carpets definitely need to be replaced . Beds were clean and comfortable as was the bathroom. Room that was separate from front room was a nice touch. Thought it was pricey for what you got.
