Barhroom and the room needed updating and work done. Trim and wood was very worn/weathered, couldn’t find channels on TV Roku, pictures on internet looked better than actual place, bedding was old and had stains, bed was comfortable, pool was closed, staff were helpful. Whole really does need a remodel. For $150 I was expecting a little bit nicer place. It worked ok since we just needed a place to sleep.

The swiming pool waas drained and unusable. Checkin was easy. There was no booklet in the room that showed times of continental breakfast, checkout time, no Do Not DISTURB sign on door that we could put out, etc. and things to do around town. The pillows were very flat and no extra pillows. The AC just blew forward. It was a place to stay, reasonable price. Staff was friendly and nice.

The pool and spa were not available (no water in either). Poor advertising, as I think it had been down for quite a while. Also advertised free WiFi. Couldn’t find anything that gave a password. The front desk was not manned. I would have appreciated a hair dryer in the bath room. Rooms were clean.

Staff was friendly. The building is about what's to be expected for a room under $100. It seemed clean, just old. Place is well beyond its prime, but reasonable if you're just looking for a place to crash for an evening.

Last minute stay

We were closing on our home and needed a place to stay. We booked a last minute room. They were very accommodating. Our room was basic but actually comfortable. They had direct Tv, heated swimming pool (actually very warm) and continental breakfast. (Pretty basic but did the trick) Overall a good stay!

The room was good. Clean, comfortable bed. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was ok, toast, bagels, juice,coffee. No waffle maker. The was very good. My big disappointment was the pool and hittub were shutdown for renovations. I specifically rented this motel for that reason. I complained to the manager and he did refund $30. From now on I am calling ahead to confirm pool and hotub are open and working.
