At least the shower was hot and the bed was comfortable. No bugs. Just a bit tired and rundown. Price was worth the value.

Just passing through
Just needed a place to lay my head for the night. And it did the trick. TV, shower and a bed.

This motel has soooo much potential. It’s a shame it’s not better cared for. Just generally dirty, old sheets and towels, poorly maintained overall. Bugs on the floor, garbage on the ground behind furniture. But it was cheap. Again, if the owners took the time to really care for the motel, it would be a total gem.

Soap packets thrown on the back of the toilet, REALLY hard mattresses, creepy textured blankets and pillows, ancient box springs. The whole room kind of felt like a prison cell. If you have the means, stay ANYWHERE else. It's sufficient shelter tho, if you don't have a choice.

The one good thing about this place was that the bedsheets were clean. Everything else was filthy. The shower drain was clogged with hair and there were cockroaches in the bathroom. Two of the walls of the bathroom were also rotten through; you could see the insulation. I tried not to touch anything except the desk and the bed. The lamp was also broken, but that can be replaced. Would not recommend this place.

This was a simple and cute room. I liked that it was one level and I could pull up to my room. Also the walls were cinder block and I couldn't hear any other lodgers. It was so quiet. The air-conditioning worked great and I was comfortable. The area surrounding is safe and I walked around town feeling safe. I'd like to stay here again. A little run down but clean.

This place was filthy! I don’t think the wall heater or shower had ever been cleaned. Parking area had broken chairs and garbage everywhere. We were charged $100.19. On our return trip we stayed a a very nice clean hotel with continental breakfast for $119.00.

Barely Adequate
This is a quite old, very tired property - 1960s or maybe earlier. Bed was marginal, pillows were cheap; only 1 washcloth in room for 2; no coffeemaker. It did have a fridge and microwave. If all you need is a clean place to sleep this will work.
