Crime scene

We open the door to the smell of death . The carpets had giant piss and poop stains the couch was covered with a sheet .it looked like something out of a horror movie. We got out quick before we got attacked by bed bugs . In all my life i have never saw a hotel this disgusting. Went back office and canceled it . They said we would have to get our money back from hotel . Com . Also the hotel in picture has a note on door that sends you to the other location.

This was so bad that we didiny stay. We ended up sleeping in our car at a rest stop because it felt safer. We had a late check in so nobody was there (midnight) and they were accommodating with that. But when we entered the parking lot there were a lot of people loitering around and looked unsavory. When we got into the room it smelled awful. There were stains all over the carpet and couch and the carpet was wet in multiple spots. It was disgusting. I can’t believe Expedia works with this “hotel”

Nicely renovated older motel. The room was clean and cozy. Breakfast and coffee offerings opened at 7 a.m., a little too late for my liking, so I missed it. I suggest a small charging station/clock on one of the nightstands for convenience. Overall, it was a great night's stay, and the price was great!

I literally had to go on a scavenger hunt to find this hotel. I almost broke down crying after being on the road for ten hours and arriving here at 1:30 am. We arrive & the office is dark, closed and not a person in sight. There are two typed & printed notes on the door. One says something about winter hours (it’s July?) & give a phone number & the other says that this office is closed and go to the other location “down the road on the other side” and also gives a phone number (a different one). This strikes me as odd, but whatever I’m exhausted and just want to go to bed. So I drive down the road and look “on the other side” for a while but town ends and there’s no second location. I should’ve got phone numbers down the first time, but I didn’t so when I couldn’t find the second loco, I drive BACK to the first one to get the numbers to call. First number, disconnected. Second number, no answer. At this point I’m ready to eat the coat and just get a different place but I decide to drive down the other way just in case. Luckily, we found it. This new door had the same two notes as the other but also a NEW note that said if you had a reservation, your key would be “in the mailbox on the white pillar” behind us. Sure enough, our keys were in there. Happy ending right!? No. We go to open the door, & it unlocks, but won’t open. I try for ten minutes with no success and just decide to sleep in the car. Short story long, my kid finally got the door open. Terrible night. 0/10

This is a retro 50's hotel with ceramic wall tile in the bathroom. Cracks in plaster and ceramic tile from settling. Carpet was badly stained. They had put Febreeze beads in the air conditioner vents in an attempt to hide odors in the room. Parking lot was in disrepair. Locks on doors were flimsy and didn't feel safe. No staff in am with a note that check out paperwork would be in the mailbox and to put key with appropriate paperwork--no paperwork in mailbox so just dropped the keys and hoped they'd figure out which room they were for.

Do not recommend

The GM was great... Very accommodating and tried to do her best. She moved us from the really bad room to one that was a little better. No A/C, no TV, no breakfast as advertised due to lack of staff. GM said she would refund me so I am hoping she will honor that promise. I would not recommend this property until the owner puts some money into it... He should be ashamed

Bad service

We drove to this location and felt unsafe for our family. We decided to try and check it out and see, already hesitant about staying. I went inside to check in, rang the bell twice and stood there for 5+ minutes with no service. Went to call and the line beeped. We did not stay and went to a different hotel.

The staff were nice. But the first room they gave me the window didn't close. I asked for a different room, and its window didn't close either. The third room had a window that closed but the latch was a bit flimsy. I still didn’t feel totally safe when the door chain was dangling on one screw. The parking lot was totally torn up and the trash bin outside the room was overflowing with beer cans. There was no ice. I think maybe they're remodeling? I would check on that before booking. I felt a little ripped off with the price I paid given the condition of the place.
