Family vacation stay

For $80 a night I was expecting something updated and without a loose toilet. The toilet was not secured to the floor, the gap under the door took two bath towels to block, but the staff was incredible.

Good, inexpensive, no frills

Perfect location for our trip destination. Very clean room, beds were not real comfy but ok for a couple nights stay. Definitely no frills, be sure to have all necessary items to shower. There were enough towels. Overall, for a no frill family trip I would book and return again. Diner within easy walking was good too.

Ok hotel, nasty diner!

Ok room. Paid for a queen sized bed and got a full sized bed. Small rooms. Amazing water pressure in the shower. Hardly any in the sink. Don’t eat at the diner though! Horrible, horrible, disgusting food!

Unable to stay at that hotel because of power loss

Was unable to stay there. The facility had no power. And had no idea when they may get power back. Had to find another motel for the North. Manager at the hotel stated that I would not be charged for that room.

We went into our room and sat down on the bed. It was very wobbly; not comfortable at all. I went into the bathroom. The floor was dirty, the bathmat was in the tub and dirty, and there was a wet washcloth in the corner of the tub in a ball.
