Older motel, some dated/damaged fixtures but to be expected for a vintage motel. Would definitely stay again.

The room was small and the bed was a little lumpy. The room was clean and had everything we needed. It was good for a one-night stay for two of us. Breakfast in the restaurant the next morning g was really tasty and well priced.

This place hasn't been updated since the 70's. The whole place stinks, literally. I was afraid to look in the shower stall based on the what the room looked like.

Certainly not a 6 out of 10
The room was 2 double beds small bathroom and shower small towels only and no towels to shower with. There was an attempt to upscale the bathroom with tooth brush and small toothpaste but it was not successful. Carpets dirty, main entry door into hallway had many holes and not secure

Works if passing through
While property was old and dated, it is clean. It's fine if you are in a pinch. I understand there is new house keeping and they left a cute touch.

Nasty place
The room smell like urine
Room had no air movement
The interior walls have never been washed
Broken lamp shade
Other guests were offensive by smoking cigs as they smoked outside my window
Not a proper smoking area
Guests beside me were fighting thru the night. I was exhausted the next day as I had no sleep, i was scared being there over night.
