Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The place is the dirtiest motel I’ve ever stayed at. There were years if soap scum in the sink in the bathroom. The shower curtain had a bunch of globs of dried nasty stuff all over it and the floor of the shower/bath was beyond filty with years of nastiness.

Lobby is very nicely decorated, as are the rooms. Outdoor property (parking lot) is pretty small, the bathroom is a little dirty in nooks and crannies. But overall, it’s decent for the price.

Well suited for us and the dog. Only negative was the quality of the breakfast. Even the coffee was laughably weak and cold. Just assume that they do not offer breakfast.

Poor stay

The pool is permanently closed we were told after asking about it because on website it says they have one. The bed smelled like pee and the bathroom is so small the door almost hits the toilet and hits the shower when halfway open. The tub spout had mold all the way around it and the rub drain did not work because it was just laying in the tub broke.No elevator so don't take in heavy stuff!
