The staff at the site was really nice. The pictures of the room are excellent. The place is kinda old, dirty rugs, dirty furniture the sink was badly stained and looked dirty. The king bed was kinda hard and springs kinda poke through. The heating system worked well. The shower worked good. It was plenty warm and had good pressure. The door to the room only had a simple door knob with a key. No way to lock it from the inside. It was very quiet though. I hate to pick a place apart like this it was only $81.70 for the room. It was the only motel available with only being reserved a day in advance. For a Sat night stay. I have learned over the past couple of years, if I don’t pay near $200 a night, out west, you don’t get much quality.

The curtains would not open the toilet would not work and you had to keep it running all night long the air conditioning always blew out cold air even when you turned it up, we stay at this place for the last 15 years. I have to say that this was the worst experience that I have had a new manager she was very un personable.

The property is in need of an update but the most important thing was that it is clean. The lady on reception was welcoming and friendly - she seemed to do pretty much everything around the property. A very good stay, thank you.
