Customer Reviews
I don’t even know where to begin here. We only stayed here because it was the only room available in a 25 mile radius and it was late at night and we couldn’t drive any longer. It was a non smoking room and I stunk to high heaven and smoke was all you could smell. We stayed here in the summer heat and guess what… the heater was on and there was no way to turn it off. Keep in mind there is no air conditioner in the room. Also there is no smoke detector it had been ripped off from the place it is supposed to be. We flipped a light switch to try and get a light to come on… nope it turned off the tv… I don’t even know. Good news though you get free wall art as people have drawn all over the walls! There were burns in the comforter looking like where someone has dropped cigarette ashes. Stains
The room was substantially large and spacious, however the sheets were stained with unkown fluids of all kinds and the room smelt of urine. Front desk help was not terribly friendly, the parking lot was cramped and dirty, and there was no complimentary coffee as advertised. Overall, terribly overpriced for one night of discomfort.
BED BUGS! Ask for a full refund. Really only need those first two words. I stayed here four years ago on Halloween night, dirty, noisy but not horrible. I'm accepting of transient/trimagents partying all night. This & other seediness I would normally be congenial with. It is very conveniently located near the center of town. However, after coming into town late, just recently, we didn't have so many options & I knew this place would have a room, so we took our chances. The added influence of bed bug infestation is absolutely unacceptable at any price. Travelers, keep yourself & your gear safe, & avoid this place at all costs. Camping is not so far & if you need a shower there is a sauna & hot tub spa in town with hourly rates, & a laundry mat that you can sterilize whatever you may set in
We only stayed because there were no other options. Dirty room, holes in blankets, NO A/C! Way over priced paid over $100 for crappy room with a homeless camp in their back fence. Then we woke up to find items missing from the back of our truck and the owner refused to open door so we could ask him to look at the cameras! Do Not Waste your money keep on driving!!! Seriously dont stop!
Terrible. Dirty. Smelly. Dark smudges on the doors. Shower did not look like it had been cleaned EVER. Cigarette burn holes on the bedspread. Transients hanging out. It was the only motel with a room for the night, but if we had known I think sleeping in our car would have been better.
