This place is older but very clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and the TV worked good. The air conditioner was perfect, not too noisy. We didn’t do the offered breakfast but went to the local pancake restaurant for more protein options. If you’re in a hurry don’t go there and it was expensive.

Property staff room excellent. However, the shower head should be replaced. Very poor shower head and I consider the property of the safe since I caught someone trying to break into my car. The staff did respond to call the police however I seen a lot of undesirables roaming around

Check in was fast and easy with friendly front desk staff. The room was not as clean as I would like. There was food residue on the counter top and the tub looked dirty. It was quite noisy at 1 AM with other travelers checking in (not the hotel's fault). Parking was very close to room.

Dirty, nasty. The carpet was coming away from the walls. It stunk. We went for a college orientation and I thought it would be nice to stay the night and explore with my daughter. Checked for bed bugs. There were none so we stayed. There were cigarette burns on the blankets. Like no excuse to be this bad. We didn't even shower there.

I was a little hesitant when booking our stay here due to mixed reviews I had read. I was pleasantly surprised at the condition and cleanliness of the facility. The only negatives were not enough hot water for both our showers and being on the second level take care in that first step going down. Not sure what it is, but we both stumbled on that first step. We did not eat breakfast so I cannot comment on that.

It's a 2star hotel; you aren't stopping here for the holiday, but just for passing through. On that point, the room is clean, everything worked. The location is close to the highway and food. A river runs behind the motel and there are picnic tables which is a bonus. I will say you could tell that underneath the rug, the floor was broken/damaged/lumpy in a few spots, so points off for that.
