Bed was warped, hard, and really, really old. Holes in the paper thin walls. Windows didn't close fully, neither did the door. No towels. They charge a lot and are an ultra cheap hotel. Really wish I'd paid the extra $30 for the one down the road.

Their per policy is not listed on this site. I paid extra $25 a night but they told me upon check in that they have a strict no pet alone in room policy. So you pay and extra fee to have the dog in a supposed dog friendly hotel and then they expect you to take the pet with you every time you leave the motel. The place is also in dire need of repairs and renovations. It was not very clean and was damaged. Missing towel bar. Moldy strip at base of shower. Threadbare curtains. Doors damaged. Furniture aged and shabby. Mattress was very old.

The room was clean as far as we could tell there was only one wash cloth,the shower had plenty of hot water and pressure was great maybe to good it sprayed and splashed out of the shower which makes the floor very wet a few more towels could could help mitigate the wet floor. Overall it served the purpose the bathroom fan could not be run because it squealed so bad.still though for the price it will do.

Great stay!
The rooms were very clean and the owners very friendly. The Queen bed was comfortable but the king was a bit stiff and springy. Could use a mattress topper.
