Was next door to a Smitty's, so didn't have far to go to get dinner or breakfast. Motel was old and run-down. Room was clean but sparse and tired looking. Bed was comfortable but bedding was threadbare.

No hot water over my 2 day stay. The phone in my room had the plug cut..no service. Heat is either on or off. The beds have shredded bed bug bags hanging as well as the box spring dust cover. I comforters are so old that the don't fit pillow top matresses..showing the shredded plastic and dust cover. I took my own blanket and pillow. Thank heavens.

The staff was awesome!! If it wasn’t for then it would be a lower rating. There was some burn marks and stains on the sheets and the bathroom and tub look like soemthing out of a movie with rust stains to boot. Kind of like a poor hotel barely hanging on. But the staff was great and it was warm and looked clean.
