This place was by far the worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life. Absolutely filthy. Property is disrepair. There were bugs and even boogers on the wall, not joking. The smell, I’m still trying to figure out as well. I am well traveled and just needed a place to stop and sleep but damn! Please NEVER do this to yourself…just keep driving.

Overall okay for one night ! The AC unit is quiet, the room has a reclining chair plus a desk with chair. The vanity is slow draining and the tub shows it’s age.

Utterly Disgusting
My stay at the Relaxed Inn was horrible to say the least. The lack of upkeep on the property was utterly disgusting. With black mold all throughout the bathroom, or duct tape covering up major holes in the wall, my stay was extremely disappointing. I do not recommend staying here.

Yuck
The room was dusty. The toilet ran so we had to take lid off the tank and adjust the handle each time we flushed. The tv was broken. The guests next to us were loud. Definitely can make improvements

The gentleman at the front desk was very nice. The room didn't look that bad at first but the TV didn't work, There was no coffee maker, and there was mold on the shower curtain, and someone spilled something in the mini fridge and no one cleaned it up. I got on my phone and made another reservation at a better hotel not to far away.

We had a long bed around the back. The air smells of sewage. Only 1 lamp worked and it was dim. The towels were torn or had holes in them. There wasn't a toilet paper holder so you had to move it around if you wanted to shower. The Internet and TV were Rarely available. The frig hummed all night and the heater was very loud. This was not a good experience.

Older hotel. Stayed in upstairs queen room. Mini fridge, but no microwave. Advertised tub in room, only walk in shower. TV would turn on, yet no picture. When picture came on it took 20 minutes to boot a small segment of the movie/show. Informed management, but was not fixed. Internet extremely slow. If you are wanting a place to sleep and a hot shower with no frills, this is a good place at a very reasonable price.

Unsettling
I hate to give reviews like this. But the room smelled so moldy. There was mold around tub tile wall. The door was break in able. I was nervous. Took a long time before I could go to sleep. But I only had time for 5 hours of sleep due to another outing.

Normally I like to stay multiple times before writing a review, but thought I would share since this is my only visit to the area. So keep that in mind for a specific room (116, which is relevant to other reviews). Before booking here I read the reviews and they were mostly a five star or a 1-2 star review. In particular, a review mentioned mold in the shower and a bathroom door that didn't shut. Others didn't mention this issue, so my assumption was that a previous guest did damage. Well, I ended up in this particular room. The bottom hinge of the bathroom door was not attached to the door causing the door to rest on the floor. This presented a challenge because my smaller children were unable to open the door once it was closed. Then the door handle on the same door was detached. After a long day of driving I didn't want to bother with moving hotels or even moving between rooms after unpacking for one night. We ended up fixing the door and the door knob. The shower is someone else's issue, but want to be clear that there was no mold that I saw and just some tile damage. On to the positives! The AC worked amazingly well (smoke from Canadian Wildfires didn't get into room). The TV was great. The beds were comfortable and a quick mattress inspection showed no signs of concerns. The view from the window was nice with a corn field and mountains visible. The two gas stations nearby also made running out for a quick grab of snacks and drinks was easy.

Pros and cons. Do not recommend.
So here are the pros and cons for this place. Pros it is cheap, cons still over priced. Cons the towels are tattered, pro they work well in the 2 inch gap between the door and the threshold. Pros there is soap available, cons already worn in from the previous people. Cons- there are lots of bugs in the bathroom, Pros-they are dead. Pros-they have really good tape, cons-it holding everything on the walls in the bathroom. On a positive note it did have a working air conditioner and a clean refrigerator. Please take notice that all the 10 scores this place has is from the same person. Do not recommend.
