Room definitely needed upgrading. Think they're in the process of remodeling the rooms so hopefully they'll get the face-lift they need. We had to unplug the refrigerator since the motor noise was obnoxious. Eggs and sausage at breakfast were both cold -we were disappointed. The mattress was comfortable. We got a good night's rest. They are pet-friendly which was a positive for us.

Room was very clean and location was great fo us. Walking to restaurants and right off interstate. Older motel, no frills. We had no complaints but if you are wanting luxury, you probably wont like this. Shower had plenty of hot water and bed was comfortable which was all we needed for a 1 night stay while traveling.

Price was right for our needs. I would note that while the room was clean, there was a washcloth left on the shower curtain from a previous guest. Although our room was tidied up twice it still was never removed by the cleaner, as well as a tissue on the floor. Not a deal breaker for us as the room was overall clean, however some guest would likely have a bigger issue with it.

The room was clean but the shower was disgusting. The shower head was caked in build up. My son and I did not shower for this reason. There were towels with residue on them. It was not the best. We didn't wake up in time for the breakfast but from what I seen when I made it there, it wasn't much to choose from, more like a continental breakfast.
