When I arrived the key would not work, once I got a new one I walked in and the walls in the bathroom were not painted,the wallpaper had been removed. There were holes in the wall. A can of roach killer spray was outside the office door. I stayed for 10 minutes and returned my key and went home. I'll never recommend this motel at all. Please don't go. I was afraid of getting bed bugs or having roaches all over me.

The owner is most likely trying to make a living but this property is abysmal at best. The only good I can say is it had a new floor and a new toilet. The view front the front was nice but the curtain did not even cover the whole window. Paint was peeling and no stopper in the sink. The floor was so dirty my feet were black. The pictures on tour website did nit properly represent this motel. This was not a clean place or a place I would recommend or return. This is review painting this motel poorly but potential customers need to be informed.

room was musty old and dirty rusty radiators, toilet seat loose and needed screws tightened, water from faucets was milky bedding uncomfortable(pillows) Would not stay there again parking lot needs to be repaved (almost fell on the alligatored surface. Had to apologize to my wife for taking her to such a place. It ranks #1 as the worst place we've been to in our 76 years.

Looks like no maintenance has been done since the 1960s. No decor, lots of rod noise, dirty shower mat. No internet offered, if it existed at all. Wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.

I guess for the price, you get what you pay for. That being said, I read on previous post the place was dated, I don't mind dated, but it was also dirty, the water smelled like sulfur. The curtains didn't completely cover the windows. there was a short in the nightstand lamp. the linens and towels seemed dated, as well as poorly patched/ caulked walls and trim. We reserved 2 nights, but after finding a baby cockroach on my pillow, we left immediately a night early. couldn't wait to get home to shower and wash everything, including our luggage.

The first room I was given had dirt between the sheets as well as something pink spilled in them. Soaked through to the mattress pad. I could tell they had not been changed. I politely asked for a set of clean sheets as I believed one of the beds had been overlooked. He said he will come change them. Then when he came down to see he agreed they were dirty and just gave me a key to a different room….SAME THING HAPPENED….one of the beds had dirt from feet and food crumbs in the sheets!! When he walked by the new room I called him in to see that bed. He agreed that it was dirty and his wife would come change the sheets. She did…AND THEN PUT THE DIRTY BLANKETS BACK ON MY BED….the room was dirty and the bathtub scary. I also woke up to a cockroach party in the bathroom, I was able to kill one of them and brought it to the office. The lady just looked at me when I told her about the condition of our room. She did offer a dismissive apology. I am sure this happens often here. I paid $80+ to sleep with cockroaches and someone’s booger (maybe poop) on the wall in front of the toilet. Bummer….
