It was supposed to be a non smoking room, but smelled of smoke. The toilet continually leaked all over the floor. There were no glasses or cups even though there was a coffee maker. There was a dirty towel on the rack when we entered the room.

Place slaps it's exactly the correct amount of dated motel for the person that prefers the quiet and more relaxed vibe of a old motel. It is what it is and you know what it is it fills its role perfectly.

An older hotel but there is a new section where I stayed. It was quiet and fairly new on the inside. You get a free sit down breakfast in the restaurant which is delicious.

Sometimes I like to try and give the local guy some opportunity for service. The reviews for this place were pretty good. However, our stay at the ritz included being given two rooms that had not been resided in or looked at for a LONG time. The first smelled like sewer and I found the bathroom toilet water had completely evaporated and was letting some smell in. In the other room the first couple seconds of running the tap produced mud. Expedia stated breakfast included...when there I found out it was 1 breakfast/room. End result was 2 breakfasts for 7 people. On the other hand, the breakfast was a hot breakfast and tasty. With a bit more care and attention to rooms being rented out...and clearer communication on amenities...it could have been okay.
