It is challenging to write a review for this property as it is a 2 star rating. I booked it because all the reviews I read indicated the room was very clean. We did not experience that. We were grateful the parking was directly in front of the door and the location was convenient for traveling. We also saved a bundle of money compared to the rates of other motels.

This place is horrible. Photos on website are very old. This place broken down, grunge, dirty, no grass, cigarette butts and garbage everywhere. Dont feel safe. Bugs, dirty. No restaurant closed a yr ago. Wanted to stay for fun for kids, this place is disgusting . Long weekend everything else booked. Sleep in car better than this place. Empty beer cans all over, sketchy people. No screens in windows that safety lick by putting a stick in to secure window, bugs in window cracks. Falling apart, peeling paint, ceiling stains, floor warped, and small so small. Dont stay here. I paid $95 maybe worth $25 if you had to stay like i did. Never again! Big pile of garbage.
What it looks like now, NOTHING as advertised or photos you see online.  FALSE ADVERTISED!!
Parking out front door, whole place thousands of cigarette butt's, dirty old bottles and beer cans, disgusting
Dirty, unsafe windows no screen faces hwy
Faded out sign says restaurant no restaurant closed at least 1yr ago

The motel is very run down - not at all like as pictured. Our first impression was it looks like a motel from a horror movie and was potentially unsafe. The staff are not overly helpful.

The photo of pool should be removed from your ad as it misleads who’s going to book just like I did! My kids were so disappointed once they discovered that there is no pool!! Yes, it is not mentioned in your amenities chart but lot of people will focus on the pictures instead of reading the whole thing.

You get what you pay for and it was cheap. The picture for the property is very old and misleading. There isn't a restaurant anymore. I'm disappointed that Expedia would allow them to use that picture. Room had a strong stale cigarette smell.

Our room was old, in the description photo we saw it and we were ok with it. Our goal was to stay there for a night. The description mentions that this is a non-smoking place. But our room had a terrible smell of smoke. And even opening the window did not help. It was too late to search for another place to stay, so we stayed there and in the morning, we left this motel as soon as possible, because there was a permanent smell of smoke in the room.
