Amazingly clean, very basic

For a very basic motel I almost never find one as clean as this was. Seriously, cleaner than many modern suite hotel my company puts me on business trips.

The spa/ hot tub barely worked at all and was warm at best. Attempting to turn on one of the jets just caused a bunch of dirt to come out. There were spots on the pillows and sugar around the coffee maker and on top of the microwave. Beds were wobbly and the TV was super tiny. There were no pool towels and the slide lock on the door wouldn't have even been able to stop my child from breaking in.

It was dirty, unsafe and there were homeless people sleeping under the stairs. The room was very dirty, the bedding looked like it had not been cleaned. Tgere was blood and stains on the sheets. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Bare bones

This is a bare bones room with a tiny sink/vanity area. The air conditioner did work, so that was nice. The fridge was larger than most which was also nice. We were there to sleep before a big race and we were able to do that. It was one of the less expensive rooms for the date we needed, but the whole area was way overpriced. Last year we paid less than half for rooms better than this.

Making reservations was simple so that we arrived late to a nice clean room. Even though the place is older it shows care in all areas of the motel. A quiet night sleep left us ready to complete our road trip. It was horribly hot and the air conditioner was great!

Disliked: Amenities

We had a reservation for two queen beds and when we showed up, they only held a room with a single queen bed. We’re a family of four traveling with our teenage kids. One queen bed is not going to work for us. There were no other vacancies anywhere within a two hour drive. So, we were left at 8:00 at night with absolutely no sleeping accommodations. The guy at the desk said the good news is we weren’t charged. We said, “well the bad news is we’re hours from any hotel vacancies and you guys didn’t hold a room that matched our reservations.”
