I walked into the room and saw cockroaches, eatwig skins, flies and boreholes that were patched and painted over, they wouldn't mive me or refund me because i used 3rd party site. I left immediately. Not happy. So they can literally put u in a dumpster and u cant do anything because of booking through 3rd party?

This was our 2nd time staying at this hotel and I have to say it was cleaner and still a comfortable place to stay. The breakfast was nothing special but a nice option. We will possibly stay here again.

It was an old fashioned motel , no frills and I like it but it could use just some remodeling. It was very clean and I liked that it was quite compact and I could park right in front of my room. It woukd have nice if the motel itself had its own breakfast bar instead of having to walk next door. It was a great short getaway and well priced.
