We had to leave property a day early because we f shoulders,necks and backs were hurting really bad. They advertise breakfast but there’s nothing to eat. The man we talked to the morning of the second of November said he was sorry and said he would give us a refund if he could . There was no reason for him to take our money with those conditions

A Good Basic Motel

This is a modest property. Not fancy at all. But it was clean, comfortable, and secure, which is exactly what I was looking for. Good location with several dining options within walking distance.

Reserved 2 rooms. They gave us one on second floor ans one in back of motel. Very dirty. Dead bugs on windowsill, mold in bathtub. We didn't stay because we were afraid of bed bugs. This place is a dirty dump.

Shower had no water pressure. Bath tub was discussing. No soap asked manager for extra towels and he would not give us any. Been traveling for the last 3 years and this was the worst experience I have had. Only had coffee for one cup and housekeeping said they did not have any more.
