Nothing wrong with room. Left even s $10 tip I checked out early this morning and dropped the key in the slot. Came back at the official checkout time of 11:00 am. Nobody was there so I didn’t get a print out. Don’t know how much I even paid. Not happy!

I always check the bed sheets first when I book a hotel, and this place was nothing like the photos on Hotels.com or the motel’s own website. The sheets that were supposed to be white had turned yellow and were covered in stains. The green blanket was dirty, and the room smelled strongly of mold and dampness — it hit me the moment I walked in. Even in cold weather, I had to leave the window open because the smell was unbearable. The mattress had completely sunk in the middle, and my back hurt so much that I couldn’t sleep properly for two nights. Everything felt old and neglected — the kitchen cabinets creaked, the fridge door was dented, and the appliances were sticky with grease. The bathroom corners were full of dust, and the towels were thin, yellowed, and rough like they’d been used for decades. There were even flies flying around and dead ones on the floor — I took photos of everything because I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t expecting a luxury hotel, but for this price, the condition was shocking. It honestly felt like a run-down 1960s roadside motel from an old movie. Please replace the bedding and mattress immediately, and update the online photos to show the real condition of the room.

Very clean and comfortable bed. It is old and close to the highway. Noise insulation is terrible and you can hear the traffic along with the boiler from the next room

The motel is in a good location to explore the area. It is an older property but they have done a good job keeping the rooms clean. The bed was comfortable but because the back window is covered with cedar trees, the room is very dark. We were happy with our stay.

Pros: Suite was perfect for 3 adults (separate bedroom and sofabed in living room). Kitchen was convenient. Towels were cushy! A pet bed and gift pack was brought to our room upon check-in along with a personalized welcome note! Whisky Jack restaurant onsite was great. Cons: Air conditioning did not work well.
