It was a very basic motel nothing fancy. For the town it was in. It was fine. Certainly not a destination place.

nice little inn
Small little place on the far south side of town, away from other businesses. Our rooms were on the second floor, and they were super busy checking people in the weekend before Labor Day. Everyone was really nice, they had a popcorn machine, and coffee but nothing else for breakfast.

Mentioned to them a grout issue in the bathroom shower..hopefully they'll address it before any water damage is done. Had to ask for a plug for the tub..it was stated customers kept walking off with them..not a big deal..just an observation. Room was clean and comfortable.

Very nicely updated rooms and hallways, very happy with that. There was a distinct smell of a cat living there. Area behind front desk looked more like someone’s unkept bedroom (which matched the cat smell) rather than a professional hotel.

The AC smelled bad, and the shower faucet was installed incorrectly — the hot and cold were reversed. But the towels were clean.
