For the amount of money that this motel cost, it was disappointing. There were no hangers or hair dryer until the office was contacted. There was no place to put suitcases except the floor. The soap was the size of a silver dollar. There was no "service needed/no service needed" tag for door. Had to have staff come to room to show how to use temperature control remote. Our room was in a section of the motel where all the workers were staying-so lots of trash, boots drying out, large trucks,etc. And the "Free Breakfast" consisted of the coffee in our room and a packaged sweet roll in the office. We would not stay here again.

Chose this hotel as a place to spend the night that's close to where we were coming to see the local races. Place is a bit dated but it's very well kept and clean. The staff that owns the place is a couple that were on site. They were friendly and nice. Would recommend as a good place to lay your head for the night if you need a inexpensive place to stay.

If you're looking for luxury, this is not the place for you. The rooms are TINY. The carpet and furnishings are completely old and outdated, and the rooms reek of old cigarette smoke. The bed is really hard and so are the pillows. There's also the bonus of having some resident crack heads in the room next to you, there's a sign taped to the door telling you so. The floors in the bathroom were filthy, i used a towel to wipe up some water, and towel turned black. Also there as no breakfast as advertised, and the ice machine didnt work If the place were cleaned up, carpet ripped out and replaced with LVP and old furnishings tossed, it could be a really cute inn to stay at. The price was good and it was located close to my destination. The ower/staff very friendly. But to have to climb over the bed to get to the bathroom is a lottle ridiculous.
