This could be a cute, retro motel but instead my room (#116) had issues. The workmanship is terrible. The bathroom door has been painted recently but when i tried to close it, something is so misaligned that the hinges are trying to separate from the door and wall. The cold water faucet in the sink doesn't work at all. After a few minutes, water started dripping from the cabinet below the sink, pooling on the floor. The knob for the nightstand lamp is nonexistent, i couldn't turn the light on. For one of the other rooms, electrical tape was covering holes in the window drapes. I tried to report this information but the door to the office was closed at 8:10 am, no one would answer. I tried to call the management later but I encounted so many difficulties via telephone that i gave up. Consider yourself warned if you are looking at staying here.

Room didn't have a kitchenette like on website, there were roaches, and mold all over bathroom. Hot tub was nice in the room but took like an hour to fill. I wouldn't stay again.

Ok, Could have been better

Desk lady was nice and informative. Parking literally right in front of your door. I only booked for the hot tub not knowing that it wasn’t for every room, despite the website saying otherwise. No dead bolt on door, swing lock broken, just the knob lock available. Door to adjoining room didn’t lock and just had a table in front of it. Toilet had hair of different sorts on it. Bathroom window wasn’t locked. Ac did work, lighting was amazing. Light switches were broken but still worked. Lamp was broken and crooked. No bed bugs. Very cold floors. Shelf under tv was not screwed in. Electrical tape and duct tap in the door covering a crack in the middle of the door and the peep hole. Could hear the neighbors talking. Maybe if I booked a different room I would have had a different experience, but with the cleanliness of this room I doubt it would have been any better. It was sufficient for the night, but would not recommend more then that unless it was your only choice. Only felt safe to sleep when I moved the dresser in front of the front door and wedged a chair in front of the adjoining door.

Starting with a very strange check-in through a micro window, I went to my room that had a broken lamp, broken security latch, and halfway cleaned bathroom. The only good news is this was the cheapest hotel in the area.

Rhymes with Bell

Rather than be the well-maintained kitsch motel stay, my room was really poor. Cracks in the doorway, peeling paint and goodwill furniture were in an unclean environment. The bed itself was a sagging bag of springs. Parking is strange, so the spot I found was at the back of the place to start. It happened to be right next to what was perhaps the smallest and dumpiest room. Can't recommend.

Pretty Good

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The buildings are old and showing their age inside. Everything functioned, hot water, toilet, a/c and heat,tv, etc, but the bathroom could use an upgrade, or, at least, a complete cleaning of the grout. The bed was clean and comfortable. the room was nice and quiet, even though it was right next to a main road.
