Ok for the night
Although room was clean a paint touch up would do wonders. Markings on walls. The towels were thin. Had to move fridge to plug it in
Cleaning people knocked on the door at about 8:45-9 am which was disturbing check out is at 11 am
Able to park directly in front of room

They said the door "is a little sticky". No, it’s a big problem. Every time opening and closing the door was a major hassle.
Staff were friendly and helpful.

It’s an okay place for what it is, but the TV stopped working and the owner couldn’t fix it while I was staying there, and after making coffee, and just before drinking it, I noticed that there were ants floating on the top of the coffee. So,…

Bed was warped, hard, and really, really old. Holes in the paper thin walls. Windows didn't close fully, neither did the door. No towels. They charge a lot and are an ultra cheap hotel. Really wish I'd paid the extra $30 for the one down the road.

Their per policy is not listed on this site. I paid extra $25 a night but they told me upon check in that they have a strict no pet alone in room policy. So you pay and extra fee to have the dog in a supposed dog friendly hotel and then they expect you to take the pet with you every time you leave the motel. The place is also in dire need of repairs and renovations. It was not very clean and was damaged. Missing towel bar. Moldy strip at base of shower. Threadbare curtains. Doors damaged. Furniture aged and shabby. Mattress was very old.
