This property is not ready for guests. There was literally not one other guest there. We checked in anyway, found dark brown water in the sink and shower, and were told no one was on staff after 5 pm but we could call someone if needed. We left. They should not be taking reservations until they have their act together and the water fixed and full time staffing.

Most facilities at the location were good. Though all the rooms have a "no smoking" sign, our room still smelled of smoke until we aired it out. Some minor cosmetic facility defects, but nothing that would deter us from coming back.

Room was clean and comfortable. Has a coffee maker and microwave which is nice for putting together a breakfast. Walls were thin and we could hear some loud guests in the room next door (or upstairs?) after we had gone to sleep. Would stay there again, but would put in earplugs as I went to sleep.

Very quiet with an excellent restaurant. Helpful staff. Only drawback was a 5:00PM checkin, not sure if that’s standard, or was a special circumstance. All in all though a great experience and would happily return and recommend!

The room was a refuge on a cold winter night but we were disappointed to see stains on the duvet cover, a faint smell of mildew, no handheld shower in the handicap accessible room and the heat did not work in the bathroom. It was convenient to pick up the room keys at the restaurant next door where we also enjoyed a good dinner.

Motel in the middle of asphalt parking lot. Very basic. Room looked clean however carpet felt damp and grimy. Stripped down and extremely basic. Other area motels (no hotels available) appears much nicer. Should have done my research more effectively.
