Price was good. Every time toilet was flushed it leaked, parking was bad, rooms had musty smell daily even though a window was left open.

The room itself wasn’t that bad but the smell of it was very bad. The description says free WiFi but there’s none in the room.

Run down. Would have been worth it to pay more for a different motel.

Ancient place and furnishings
Ancient run down place and furnishings. Tiny room. Sinking floor. Moldy dirty bathroom. I booked two nights but couldn’t stand the second one. Manager however was kind enough and refunded the second night.

A tired motel. Doug was lovely but the motel is not worth another visit. Hotels.com charged taxes as well as the site. What’s that about?

Emm, some property doesn't have a flat floor. If you look at the 6th image provided by the property, you can tell its's tilted a little. No A/C. Fan only. Doesn't smell nice inside. Bedding feels sticky and you can see something doesn't appear to be very clean. Bugs around and inside. The staff and manager are nice. However, this probably gonna be the cheapest option around, if you only look for somewhere indoor to sleep.

Would never go back.
The place was a dive. Smelly, old, and run down. It hasn't been updated in over 30 years

Good stopover place
Inexpensive stopover but needs further renovation (in bathroom area for example). Friendly and conscientious host.

Stay away
This place is also known as "Homestead Motel & Cottages". On arrival we were given one of the cottages, well cottage not, this would be better described as a rotten damp smelling shed. I'm surprised one of us didn't fall through the bathroom floor as it was so spongy. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls, the ceiling was covered with water stains and the panelling on the walls was coming away. The WiFi didn't reach the room. The patio consisted of two filthy plastic chairs outside the front of the shed. There was daily housekeeping but I'm not sure it included making the bed because ours wasn't. I can honestly say this is the worst place I have ever stayed and would not recommend this to my worst enemy.

Eh...it was there
Wasn't the best...actually closer to the worse. The room was tilted, water leaking from bathroom to the sleeping room, microwave and fridge not clean. Staff was friendly and I am sure they are trying, but maybe just invest a little more.
