1565 Is The Last Time This Motel Was Maintained

PICTURES ARE AT LEAST 10 YEARS OLD! Roof leaks and water leaks into walls and WALL SOCKETS! Bedside lamps and electrical outlets are rusted and corroded. General, skilled, and much needed maintenance is completely lacking.

Booked a room for Valentine’s Day, ended up staying in what appeared to be a poorly remodeled hotel room. Definitely was not worth the price. The room looked completely different than the ones posted online. Towels appeared to be worn, raggedy and well past their time. Is a cool idea but not worth it.

Great location. Amazing oak tree in parking lot. Great staff and friendly service. Breakfast was free and included, but just ok and bland. Bed was comfortable and clean. Bathroom could of used a deeper more thorough clean. Overall happy with stay and would recommend to others.

The floors were extremely dirty. This is the same issue that I observed on others reviews. Management should address this. And for the customers, bring your own mop and bucket.

Property is pretty old. Bedroom and bathrooms were ok. Other room in the "family suite" was odd. Lighting terrible. Just overhead light and no lamps in the sitting area. Outside there were several areas for sitting but the furniture was old and dirty. Breakfast was good. However, conveniently located at a trolly stop. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
