No exaggeration, it looked like a crime scene. Dirty and stained sheets, stained walls, and gross bathroom. Floors were not vacuumed and carpet was too dark to see stains I’m assuming. The guy at this motel will rip you off as well.

Clean, but VERY TINY room. Long wait for service.

For what we paid, it was OK. Hosts were friendly, but it took an extremely long time to rouse someone to come out from the back to the check-in desk and give us our key when we got in around 10:00 at night. The room was very clean but was the tiniest we have ever stayed in. There was no closet, nor even a hanging bar for our clothes. Towels were folded very haphazardly. Breakfast was simple, but adequate. No individual cartons of milk, only a gallon of 2% that the lady at the front desk kept in a refrigerator in a room behind the desk and brought out to let us pour what we needed on our cereal and then return it to her. They had raisin bran…our favorite.
