VERY VERY CLEAN I stayed once before and I’ll likely stay again. It’s a rundown little motel in the middle of town. It’s exactly what you’d expect.
However the sheets were spotless and the water was hot and I slept great
The person who checked me in was really nice, it was close to everything, but the room and the bed were awful! The room smelled really bad, the bed was so hard it wasn’t even funny and the condensation was out of control, it was a decent property maybe I just got a bad room? I will stay again when I’m bad in Monroe.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room hadn’t been vacuumed, the toilet didn’t flush (we fixed it), the chain was torn from the door, there was food splattered on the wall behind the microwave, hairs in the bathroom, no garbage can in the restroom, a substance on the bathroom wall…the bed was clean.
Palou was very nice and helpful. He helped to get us a bottom floor room for my 500+ pound friend, who would of had a hard time making it to the 2nd floor. He also made sure our front window got fixed so we could sleep in comfort, knowing no one could get into our room from the street.
Stains on the floor and furniture. Remote was sticky and had gunk all over it. Hair on the counter and shower area. Sketchy night activities in the back lot.
Bedding had something on it, wall had spots that had been painted different colors, holes patched in doors with out being fixed, the floor was gross feeling i wouldnt walk bare foot on it bathtub was peeling. Pulled in and trash bags were just sitting outside in parking spots. Very out dated and very musty smelling was hoping it had gotten better from last time. Will be spending a lil more money and going somewhere else next time.
The bad. The room’s carpet was filthy, didn’t walk around with bare feet. Breakfast was marginal, nothing hot except instant oatmeal. The good we saved $300. Was it worth it? Not really.
The outside is full of trash, garbage cans overflowing. The rooms are well worn, but I was pleased that the room looked clean. I bring my own bedding and pillow, I refuse to sleep on any motel sheets. I asked the staff not to clean my room, I don't want my bedding moved around. Overall its a place to sleep, and defiantly nothing fancy.
Liked the location but chair and carpet had urine stains (Smelled) on them.

This is an older building on a busy road with a train that goes by every six hours or so day and night. That said, they were pet-friendly, the beds were comfortable and best water pressure I have ever had at any hotel. As long as you know its right on the highway, there are trains and kind of a beat up building - it was cean and safe enough. We stayed five nights during a two-week trip to the Pacific NW with our two dogs, both Setters.

The place is close to everything, food, activities, shopping. The grounds could be kept up better. Lot of garbage and cigarette butts laying around. Rooms are okay but they have only about 20 inch television.
