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 The carpet and furnishings are completely old and outdated, and the rooms reek of old cigarette smoke.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.

This is not a bad hotel, the comforter on the bed takes you bad to the 80s so it has that nostalgic charm, but the place is very clean and rooms are in a great renovate condition new paint, and so on. Bathrooms are nice and big and clean as well. dont let the exterior of this place fool you, for a motor inn, it is 8.5/10
