We only needed a crash pad for the night and wanted to save some money. I guess you get what you paid for. The bed and floor had a few bugs (luckily not bed bugs), The shower had lots of hair from previous guests, and the coffee maker did not work. Would not stay there again. For $30 more stay somewhere else!

I was in town because of a family medical emergency and needed a place to stay. This inn was affordable considering it was a holiday weekend.

This was a nice place to stay and we had access to where we needed to go. There was some destroyed buildings and a travel trailer permanetly parked in the parking lot, but other than that it was just fine.

Okay location.

Room had some newer furnishings but the area by the shower and behind the toilet was dirty. Bed was uncomfortable and hard but the pillows were nice. For the price, there should have been some kind of basic breakfast offering. Juice, coffee, yogurt, danish/muffin, fresh fruit.

Curtains did not block the exterior lights at night so was hard to sleep. I need a dark room. Coffee pot burner was terribly rust corroded and even the glass carafe had rust stains all over the bottom of it. The bottom of shower curtain was terribly stained or just plain dirty. Saw different smudges of whatever here and there on walls. Glad I brought a heavy blanket due to reading a review prior to staying as yes, the sheet and bed cover (which I typically try not to use anyway) were extremely thin. No blankets provided in room.

Quiet and clean.

This is a 2-star motel, in a rather remote section of the country. The room was clean. The man at the desk was very pleasant and helpful, and the place was quiet.

Pros: This was a great stay for a great price. Office staff was very friendly. Newly renovated, very clean rooms. Cons: Linens and comforters were very thin. Parking lot had trash in the landscaping beds, including hygiene products, for both days of our stay. Very poor seal around the door - you can see light coming in all the way around, which means anyone smoking in the parking lot, or any other smells outside are going to come in.

Not what we hoped for.

It was just ok. The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable! They charged me for having a dog and I asked him why and he said they would have to thoroughly clean the room after we left, but the floor hadn’t even been swept when we got there. I don’t mind paying the extra, but when the floor is already dirty…not. If I’m being honest, the linens were substandard too!
