my go-to place in the area

I stay here a couple of times a year. The rooms are always clean and stocked with the necessities expected for a comfortable stay. The people who work here are some of the friendliest folks I have encountered in my travels. This is not a high-end hotel, but is a good value for the money and close to local activities.

Doing a check in behind bulletproof glass is a bit disconcerting. However, staff were very polite and helpful. Building is dated but very clean.

About as good as the photos show. The carpet was dirty and needs to be replaced. There were some bugs (doors are exterior so to be expected, I guess?), but no bed bugs. Sheets seemed clean. There was a spider and web over one bed. Queen beds (2) were each up against a wall or window on one side, so small. Everything was very old and smelled old. We think the paint on the outside is new. The woman who runs the motel is very sweet and we can tell she’s trying hard. Making updates where she can. Over-priced for what you get. There is a fridge. Toilet was clean. Shower stained but clean, etc.

It's an affordable no-frills motel. Rooms are cleaner than the exterior suggests. Some rooms seem to have extended-stay guests who can be noisy on the weekend. A decent stay if you just need a room for a night.

The room was ok, outdated. TV good, had mini frig/microwave. Tub/shower, no safety bars. Toilet low and small. All functional. Bed was comfortable. Staff was fine. What does one expect for $90?

The staff was very nice and helpful. The property is older and shows wear and could use updating, but the room was clean. Bed was comfortable but pillows hard. If you are traveling on a budget and just looking for a night or two it is priced right.

Good location on the southern end of town. Several fast food restaurant within walking distance. Walking distance to GAC if motivated. Property is old and unimproved but maintained minimally. Office is old and unsightly with pet smell. Building is old and also minimally maintaned. Linens are old with small tears but clean and no bedbugs. Wifi was very weak at our room, unuseable most times. 4 nights no housekeeping.

It was tolerable for an overnight stay, but the decor is old and worn out, the bathroom was mostly clean, except for a big wad of hair in the back corner and the staff argued with me about my reservation, which was prepaid through Expedia.
