Christmas Sleepover
This is an older motel. We were in town for christmas and were not planning on staying. However, it got really late and we found the hotel closest as it was pouring rain. The staff was so so friendly, the hotel smelled and looked very clean. It is older and a little outdated but the price was really good to lay our heads down. The place was clean the bed was comfy. Dont expect fancy, but u do receive great service and clean place.

Dirty room and roaches crawling everywhere.
The room was incredible dirty. There were roaches in the bathtub and crawling on the wall. The sheets had stains all over them. The water pressure in the bathroom was non existent. We ended up leaving and staying somewhere else because i did not feel comfortable at this place. We went back in the morning to turn in our key, but i was not at all happy with the experience here. If I had not had already checked in I would have requested a refund just due to seeing so many roaches crawling in the room upon us getting in there.
