Room 2 the shower didn’t work at all. Rooms are so close together you can hear everything especially if they have animals I couldn’t sleep. The heater worked but smelled like gas. Was a mediocre experience. Also the restaurant was not good. The burger was better than anything. Staff was not it as well. Overall the worst experience so far.

Owner of this motel is just pure heart at best. Super kind and willing to make your trip best way possible. However, I was stunned the way room was oriented. The highway noise was so loud waking you up randomly middle of the night. And condition of the bed was just unbelievably conditioned. It squeaked every time I moved and the mattress sacked in the middle so my back did not get any comfort level whatsoever. In addition, the sheet and blanket seemed like it’s has not been properly washed and dried making my skin itchy and rash. I hope the owner takes this as constructive criticism because I cannot come back here again. M
