Property was one of the worst I’ve ever stayed in. It was a cold night and the heat did not work. It was intermittent. The door was not sealed properly and cold air was pouring in throughout the night. The room looks like it not been vacuumed the floor at white stuff all over it. The floor in the bathroom was coming up. There was present in the bathroom. Hot water lasted less than five minutes for our shower. The bed was very worn. The best part of the whole room was the toilet, which looked like it was replaced recently. I understand staying at a cheap motel There will not be lots of frills or conveniences. However, I would expect to not freeze, enough hot water for a couple showers, not worrying about what we are walking on on the flooring, and having the door that was sealed. I am highly disappointed highly not recommend using this place.

Was great
The woman at the front desk on our first night was great she went out of her way to get us into the room since she had never had a Klarna purchase. It was a quiet establishment and housekeeping was nice

The staff is friendly and very welcoming will stay again. Rooms need a bit more work when it comes to cleanliness but overall I recommend to stay with a family long or short term

Affordable
The lady at the front desk was so friendly. The room is about what you expect for the more affordable price. Some bumps and bruises, but it was a place to stay while we were in town for family events.

The property has the ability to be a great place. The Location wasn't bad, but not the greatest. The suite we stayed in was clean, but had a leaky faucet and when you entered the foyer you could smell mold coming from the basement. The tile around the whirlpool tub needs some attention. The check-in woman was very nice. The stay was comfortable overall. For the price a person would expect better.
