Ballin’ on a budget
Let’s be real, “budget” is in the name of the motel, and you get what you pay for. I wanted the cheapest option and I got it. However the bed was very comfortable and clean which I was very pleased with. Hot water ran well and the TV got decent channels. Would definitely stay here again. The woman at the front desk was very friendly at check in, which isn’t typically expected with locals of any town, so that was refreshing!

We couldn't check in as there was no staff there when we arrived and we had to wait until one drove back from a break. The room had dirty sheets, what looked like a mouse dropping and strange specks in the shower. The room smelled gross, especially to my smell-sensitive, pregnant wife. We booked a room somewhere else before we unpacked a thing. Upon returning the room key, i was informed that there was 0 chance of receiving a refund, so now we're out that money.

Pretty gross, but manager very nice
Brian at the front desk was really, really nice and very helpful when I needed to cancel our 2nd night in order to go north sooner. Beyond that, the room was pretty gross. Rusty shelves on fridge, tons of worn spots on the tub and a leaky spot outside the tub near the faucet, no AC (granted, they're near the water so even in August it was cool enough that we weren't miserable, but we did get warm enough that we wished AC was available). Pillows were all different sizes and half of them were way too thin, pillowcases didn't seem to fit properly. There were no tissues and no toiletries besides tiny bar soap. Bathroom mirror was peeling paint and ugly. Couldn't use the deadbolt and the main lock would have been SO easy for someone to pick, so we didn't feel at all secure -- particularly being on the ground level along a highway. I don't like to write negative reviews and knew that the motel didn't get great reviews on this site, but there were basically no other options in the area on the dates we needed. I can't believe how much we had to pay for this room, even so. I will say I was SO glad that we were assigned the building that looked far nicer on the outside than the main, older building. And thankfully noise wasn't a problem, so we slept fairly well.

Very Disappointed
This place was very disappointing. It had reasonable reviews, but did not measure up. You only have a 2 hour check-in window and no early or late check-in allowed. The front desk is not manned so you must leave a message. The toilet did not work, and with no front desk we had to fix it ourselves. There was no hot water when we arrived. The sink was full of rust and the faucet sprayed all over the counter and floor. The front door lock did not lock properly, And the bathroom door would not even close. The Beds were uncomfortable. The place was very noisy. There was no good parking.

This was the perfect choice for us. They even provided a hair dryer in addition to the refrigerator, the microwave oven, and the coffee pot. the table and chairs were the perfect size and in the perfect place to enjoy the view while having our morning coffee. The staff was extremely caring and went above and beyond to assist us in every way, including a personal wake up call.

You don't always get what you pay for...
This is an extremely tired motel. Old carpet, towels, refrigerator, and furnishings. The microwave was tiny, but it and the fridge/freezer worked fine as did the tv and remote. The beds were exceptional. The wallboard heater worked well but the out-dated thermostat did not have any setting markings; therefore, our first night was too hot. Soap, shampoo, and conditioner was "single-serving" and we only received enough soap, shampoo, and conditioner for two people, guys not women. We had a reservation for four. Housekeeping was adequate. Definitely not worth what we paid and we will never stay there again; however, if you're hard-up for a room, it's better than having to sleep in your car, if you have money to throw away.

I felt very safe there and enjoyed my stay. The only problem I had was that the toilet is so very low. And for a woman 82 with bad knees it was very hard for me to use it. I wish it had been a few inches higher. Other than that everything was perfect.
