Should be CONDEMNED!!! I booked the last hotel room available in the town. I knew booking this it was not a high quality hotel but thought we only needed a few hours of sleep and a shower in the morning. I got much mor than that. I was greeted by a extremely outdated motel with a less than secure door that was too filthy to touch with my bare hand and a threshhold cover with some sort of insect poison. Hoping the curb appeal was just bad, we entered and found what horror movies are made of. Outdated furniture, walls and ceiling that were patched, the floor was falling through in one area. There appeared to be a blood stain on the front window curtain that was barely hanging. There was brown smudge marks inwhich i could only guess to be some sort of feces. The ac was not working and had mold in vents. There was an office chair that looked to have urine stains on it and a lounge chair that appeared to be pucked up from the side of the road. I built up the courage to look in the bathroom where i found broken light fixture, a mirror so dirty my image was blurry, an air vent caked with mold, and a half bathtub that was so dirty and stained it looked like someone rebuilt a transmission in it recently. Some other room doors were open wide and people "hanging out". Needless to say we took key back to desk clerk, expressed our concerns to only get offered another room, which i am guessing it was one of the best rooms. Only thing missing here was a chalk outline of a body.

Our room had a terrible smell, my wife was having trouble with the AC blowing on her head. I tried to adjust, but the AC grill came off in my hand. I could see inside the AC, it was full of mold. the bathroom door was damaged.

Extremely dated, in need of maintenance and serious upgrades This would make a great boutique hotel if they would put $$ and effort into it. Room was clean in comparison to the overall condition . Front desk/office was not open as posted.

The staff were very helpful, friendly and easily accessible. The room had a nice size refrigerator and a microwave. There was an available four slice toaster, microwave and ice maker in the office, there was also a coffee machine but it was out of order. The price was very affordable.

For the price, I expected it to not be good, and I was right. One of the workers we're really helpful, the other, not so much. The bathroom didn't lock, the beds felt like an air mattress, and the bathtub was absolutely disgusting. The floor of it was gross and the curtain was discolored and molding in one of the corners. It was only a little worse than I expected. Would I suggest it to someone, not without letting them know what they're getting. Would I go back, only if money was really tight.
