ChatGPT said: Breakfast is pretty light, but there are some great spots nearby that open early and serve an awesome breakfast. The best part though—those beds and pillows are insanely comfortable. I honestly felt like asking where they get them :) Bottom line: For the price, this place is a great deal. Perfect if you’re not planning to hang around all day and just need a super comfy spot to crash for the night. That’s exactly what we were looking for, and this hotel totally delivered.

This hotel should be condemned, as the room was dirty, holes in rug, window was broken with a piece of steel holding it shut. Pictures on line were completely different then how the actual room was. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!

We could not stay at this hotel from the conditions. The smell was awful and instantly gave me a headache. The floors were filthy. The walls and doors had holes in them. The handle on our hotel door wasn’t secure. There was hair on the vanity, bathroom, the tub was filled with soap scum. So much more.

The property was an older Days Inn, was clean and staff was friendly. I did have a problem with the shower dripping and brought that to their attention, which they will rectify after my stay (plumbing problem). Breakfast was non existent. The location was great for what we were doing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My first comment is DON'T STAY HERE... the rating for this motel is overrated, and no one should EVER book a hotel room without reading the reviews! Our room and the motel were FAR below any standard that should be expected. Here is our list of issues: broken floor lamp, missing desk lamp, missing desk chair, damage to wall, no shampoo, conditioner or hand soap, no blow dryer but empty spot for it, hole in top "sheet", stained carpets throughout, gross looking tub floor, no blankets, TV remote was dying, strange people hanging out in lobby and parking lot, apparently is known for in the area hotels as being a hang out for vagrants or others. Reviews posted have the appearance that they were posted by the ownership or family members.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The rates were pocket-friendly. I had a very comfortable stay and slept like a baby after so long. There are many beautiful lakes nearby. I will definitely return whenever I'm in town and I will also recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you for the service.

Unacceptable Will Never, Ever Go Back.

We had to leave this hotel, and the owner wouldn't give us a refund, but that's okay. Seems like he needs it more than me. He needs to fix that hotel. Inn needs to be torn down, it's not livable.Hotel is very dirty filthy. Smell like cat-and-dog pee, doesn't look like pictures which is online. This seems to be a place for people who need assistance DSS or the homeless, or someone who was just released from prison. I would never, ever recommend anyone to stay at this Inn.
