The room is huge. It is with 2 queen beds and 1 sofa bed, which can accommodate a party of 6. The room is with an electric stove and with some basic supplies.

I would come back if I was in the area.

The price of $78 was the positive. The building needs a lot of loving. If you are looking for a bed and shower. This is for you.

Bring your own coffee, milk, sugar and dishsoap. I preferred to use my kettle. Lots of space. Old bedspread and insulating blankets. Windows allow fresh air for decent sleep.

A Very Poor Establishment
The motel was extremely old. There were electrical cords on the floor and strung on the walls.
I would suggest detonate not renovate.
Beds were comfortable. Internet access was extremely difficult and there were only 2 specific areas in the room you could get access - one of which required you to stand up.
For the price, I would say NEVER stay here.

Not so good I paid for 3 nights and the motel started packing my bag after 2 nights while I was out. Before realizing I was good for 1 more night. They packed my dirty laundry in with my clean clothes, the thew my toiletries in the garbage and slippers were put in my food cooler. Before they realized the mistake they made as the room receipt was on the table. Very poor service, although they did apologize.

Quiet adequate accommodation for the night. There appeared to be no heating in the main bedroom, but adequate blankets were provided. Difficulty experienced on check-in with payment-machine appeared to be down so needed to pay cash; fortunately I had enough cash with me

Good value
This hotel is a great value for the area. It was great to have a kitchenette. It was not fully occupied despite the No Vacancy being displayed. The property is rather dated though - only plugin in bathroom is only for a razor and too high up for useage.

Pretty much what I expected based on the info and photos when I booked. The room is in serious need of a deep clean, but at least the sheets were clean. Perfectly fine for a night to sleep.

For the price it was what I needed it to be. A large space for a great rate. Really wish the fridge worked though.
