Ok so they gave my room away and then had to scramble to get me a room which was #4 Not a good room. No hot water in shower, bed is lopsided and it’s a very tiny room but it was clean inside The fan is very dirty and stinks it needs a good cleaning But the restaurant is amazing Really good food and reasonable prices the staff were awesome! It’s the restaurant that saved this place. We would eat there again.

Beware of Room 4. Although the room was clean it is a renovated garage. Way too small and actually felt like staying in a garage. Not sure what the other rooms look like but stay away from this room. Would think twice about staying here again.

Would like a coffee maker in the room. However, when I went to the restaurant to get one she did not charge me because I was staying at the motel. Overall, a satisfactory stay and I would probably return.
