It was clean for the most part..it’s a very old motel and could use a serious overhaul other then several coats of paint..but I stayed there primarily for work, so it fit the price.

The room was very dirty. Crumbs all on the outside of the fridge by the microwave. A bunch of spider webs in the corners along the wall. The bathroom was very dirty with dried urine and poop on the toilet. I mean I was expecting much for the price and it being in the middle of nowhere. But gross!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Only 2 electrical outlets in the whole room and they were partially blocked by an immovable table. I had to unplug the TV and refrigerator to charge our phones. Also, would have been nice to have 2 chairs instead of one for the table. Also, no trash receptacles in the room, trash had to be taken outside. Room was clean and comfortable however.

ABSOLUTELY FILTHY! Endured one night and ran. Tried to stop by front desk and no one available before leaving! Front door lock broken- was given some long key to substitute for key card. Light fixture upon entry missing. SMOKE ALARM missing. Will contact local Fire Marshall and have them do an inspection of hotel. Floor peeling and gapped and absolutely filthy. Some bracket hanging off wall. Sink had been wiped with a SOUR Stinking dirty towel and stunk. Bathtub fixture has no knob, some metal spike sticking out to turn on water. Bathtub has a year's old ring and has not been actually cleaned in how long? Bath towel was so old and rotten it ripped when trying to use. Every corner in room is filled with years of accumulated filth. Gapped nasty molding on wall corners. Every horizontal and vertical surface in room FILTHY. Light fixtures have no covers just some bare bulb hanging. AC/Heater has a One-inch gap around the sides and outside air just blows in, can hear people outside like they are in the room.

Always a good value for the price when we stay here. Faucets and floors a little worn and broken but still working, heater works well, and we were decently comfortable. Never any signs of bugs at all

The room was old and bare bones. I expected this, but upon entering despite the strong odor of cleaning supplies it was not clean. There was napkins on the floor under the edge of the bed, something smeared on the bedside table, large stains on the sheets, and there was orange build up on the shower curtain. The room was in more disrepair than expected, the clothes shelf was broken off the wall, the flooring was lift and curling around the fridge, the bathtub/shower did not have a knob to turn it on and the sink didnt work leaving me we no running water for the night. When i departed in the morning there was no one in the office so i could not inform them of my issues. I called after leaving and let them know i left the key in the box (that literally anyone could take it out of) and to let them know about the sink. The guy who answered the phone seemed annoyed at the phone call. I would not stay here again.

This is an old hotel and shows its age. However, it was clean, in pretty good repair, smelled fresh, and had hot water. We got there late and left early. It did the job.

Nothing glamorous, but clean and practical for a very good price. Heater worked well, TV worked, mini fridge and microwave worked. We would definitely recommend it for cheap lodgings.
