Extremely low price. The windows haven’t been washed in years. It needs paint, plaster and thorough deep cleaning.

If you want to feel the feeling of being at a crime scene this is the perfect place, the bathroom was scary to use it, the shower had mold on the walls and on the floor. The door lock was forced and did not inspire much security. We found cockroaches when we returned at night and decided to leave and drive home instead of sleeping there. I don't recommend it unless you like horror movies.

Wow. I mean I knew based on the price it wasn't going to be the place they leave the lights on for you. But even so I was shocked. I mean how bad could it be?
I am just going to let the pics tell the tale. By the way, the washcloth? No. I didn't use it. It was from some other guest. Who knows from when. There was so much other crazy stuff but I just wanted out. I slept in my sleeping bag. Didn't use the shower. Eek. If I was not exhausted from driving I would not have stayed.

At least the shower was hot and the bed was comfortable. No bugs. Just a bit tired and rundown. Price was worth the value.

Just needed a place to lay my head for the night. And it did the trick. TV, shower and a bed.

Soap packets thrown on the back of the toilet, REALLY hard mattresses, creepy textured blankets and pillows, ancient box springs. The whole room kind of felt like a prison cell. If you have the means, stay ANYWHERE else. It's sufficient shelter tho, if you don't have a choice.

This motel has soooo much potential. It’s a shame it’s not better cared for. Just generally dirty, old sheets and towels, poorly maintained overall. Bugs on the floor, garbage on the ground behind furniture. But it was cheap. Again, if the owners took the time to really care for the motel, it would be a total gem.

This was a simple and cute room. I liked that it was one level and I could pull up to my room. Also the walls were cinder block and I couldn't hear any other lodgers. It was so quiet. The air-conditioning worked great and I was comfortable. The area surrounding is safe and I walked around town feeling safe. I'd like to stay here again. A little run down but clean.
