Property was under construction? My room had no lamp, paper keeping cabinets from opening and furniture falling apart. The bathroom had a faucet that needed repairing, cigarette burns on the bathroom counter as well. Im not sure my room had even been cleaned before i checked in. I found a razor and shampoo in my shower from the previous guest when i checked in and a blanket in the closet wadded up in the corner. Guaranteed this room wasnt cleaned. For $125 a night....i expected more.

The room was renovated in the 50s or 60s of the XX century… withe the contemporary prices. It is old and run down. It did not have even the simplest amenities like ventilation in the bathroom or the hangers in the closet. The sheets were probably the cheapest they could only find….

Road hard and put away wet

The only way to describe this property is rough. The room was clean enough to stay, but aside from that everything was old and haggard and location left a lot to be desired.

DO NOT RECOMMEND

I would not recommend this motel. Our room was a non-smoking room, yet smelled of smoke. The room had beat up furniture and did not appear clean and was poorly lit. No lamps or plugs to charge phones. The bed was terrible, extremely hard as if sleeping on a board. The bathroom was dirty. The heater was noisy. It did not have amenities like an iron or hair dryer. Even though listing said it had hair dryer in the room. The motel did not have liners for the ice bucket either, so unsanitary.

The room is outdated and there were minor discrepancies, but overall had a good experience. Well-valued and taken care of as best as it could be working with an old building. I was not a fan of the fact that the bathroom could have been more thoroughly cleaned (water spots on the faucet, unclean towels, strands of hair left in the bathroom) and there was only bedsheets on the bed without a comforter or other over cover. Great & helpful staff!

Gillian

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was so rundown. Holes in the walls, leaking air conditioning unit, no lights in the light fixtures. Beyond that there was a 2 inch gap under the door that made me feel unsafe like someone could stick a camera through or peep through. No blanket just a sheet on the bed. Instead of a regular chair it had an outdoor chair in the room. The hair dryer was covered in brown dirt. For $160 I consider this inn a complete rip off.
