We came in on Wed. afternoon and left Sunday morning. Our room was not cleaned even once. I had to ask for clean towels and trash bags. I did bring it to their attention Fri. morning but they just said they were real busy.

It was a typical mom and pop motel that had older furniture and was not fancy at all, but it was clean and they had doughnuts for breakfast.

Too expensive for what you get

This hotel would be less than $50/night anywhere else, but they take full advantage of being 1 of 2 hotels in the area by jacking up the price. (The other hotel is just as expensive and just as bad.)

Its obviously under construction. Holes in the walls where there used to be picture hangers. Paint was partially paint and partially primer. We found a razor blade on top of our a/c unit. There was a nasty smell in the room which I think was probably flooring adhesive as the flooring was new. The bathroom was clean but badly outdated/institutional. So that's the worst stuff. Good stuff was that the beds were probably new memory foam and weren't too bad once you were in them and the sheets were clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. I can't speak on the breakfast because I never saw it. The tables were still wrapped in plastic so I dont know if they served breakfast.

Stay was ok- clearly owner and family live in the hotel, so almost seems like a home (which can be good or bad). Breakfast was only plastic donuts and coffee so I think a much better job could be done in this area. Room was clean and comfortable.
