Never again

Light switch didn't work, tv volume stuck on loud, remote only controlled the channels. Clerk was friendly enough & offered to find a person to fix it, but being 8 at night I just wanted to sleep anyway. Woke up to see a large infestation of Asian beetles in the walls & ceiling. Where there's bugs, there's probably more. The bed was old & worn out.

Overnight stay

Low grade hotel room. Furniture old and scraped. fridge moved out of original cabinet, hole left where fridge should have been. Tub and shower fixture at least an inch from the wall, though water pressure was good and water was hot, which is the only good thing about the room.

Property was one of the worst I’ve ever stayed in. It was a cold night and the heat did not work. It was intermittent. The door was not sealed properly and cold air was pouring in throughout the night. The room looks like it not been vacuumed the floor at white stuff all over it. The floor in the bathroom was coming up. There was present in the bathroom. Hot water lasted less than five minutes for our shower. The bed was very worn. The best part of the whole room was the toilet, which looked like it was replaced recently. I understand staying at a cheap motel There will not be lots of frills or conveniences. However, I would expect to not freeze, enough hot water for a couple showers, not worrying about what we are walking on on the flooring, and having the door that was sealed. I am highly disappointed highly not recommend using this place.

Was great

The woman at the front desk on our first night was great she went out of her way to get us into the room since she had never had a Klarna purchase. It was a quiet establishment and housekeeping was nice
