The shower didn't work for starters. Safety is not a priority here. The window didn't lock and the wooden bar in the track was too short to do anything so anyone could have opened the window from outside. The lock is a simple key lock, so i had chairs shoved against it to wedge it closed to feel a little safer. It's alos very loud, the walls are super thin so i heard everything outside including the street light signaling when to walk.

You could easily find something healthy to eat. We had cereal and yogurt. The parking lot was dominated by large trucks - tough to find a safe spot. The rooms were small but clean and looked like it had been given a recent facelift. The exterior of the building needs cleaning up - a little shabby looking. The price as about right though.

The room was comfortable, the carpet had large stains which made us feel like we had to have footwear on. But the bed and other accommodations were good! We found another group and got to chat with them instead of staying in room. We’d stay here again

Would Stay Again

Older motel doing renovations. My not look the best from the outside but inside was a clean basic room with comfortable bed. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, sausage patties, sausage links, potaoes, waffles, yogurt, hot & cold cereal, toast, muffins, granola bars, apples, beverages and all tasted really good. Safe area of town. No pets.

We arrive around 8pm. Parking full. On street parking nearby full further away had limited street parkingand poorly lit. Lots of people sitting in their truck beds smoking, playing loud music and hanging out in the parking lot of the lodge. Did not feel very safe.
