Filthy hotel with urine stains and hair in bed. Carpet covered with stains and room reeked of mold.
After showing clerk photos of urine on sheets he offered to cancel reservation. I left property and called Expedia to confirm refund - when Expedia called property owner refused to honor cancellation and Expedia would not acting despite seeing my photos of the urine and hair in the bed.
Shame on clerk for lying and shame on Expedia for not backing me and still showing this property on their site. The rooms are not sanitary and this property should be shut down by health inspectors. Under no circumstances should you stay here.
Clean - minimal amenities. Coffee impractical to attempt to make. No hand towels. Lighting on the outside walkway SO BRIGHT all night in our room - tried to block w the closet door. They need a black out curtain for the window on the door!

The place is clean enough for a 1 night stay but the room smelt stale and the drains smelled in the bathroom...very tired place
Had a pleasant 2 night stay here. Room is a bit dated, but pretty big. I wished the glass slider door had a screen slider. We had the door open to get some air and a cat came in the room! A screen would allow air to circulate, but keep out critters. Great location!
For a quick stay the motel was fine. Room walls are paper thin so if you have noisy neighbours you’ll be hearing everything. But the hotel location is good and the rooms are very large
Would have liked a toaster. & some cutlery
for convenience.

Back to the seventies.
Very ordinary Hotel and room. Started with a delayed check in followed by cigarette butts at the entrance to our room. I doubt the room has been updated since the 70ies. Dim lighting, paper thin walls, we could hear everything going on next door. Appliances old and some rusty. Altogether a poor choice on our part.
Have stayed at a lot of places in my time and im not a fussy person what so ever but this is hands down the worst place i have ever stayed. Filthy. Piss stained sheets. Other peoples hair through the bed. Shower drain was so blocked that after 2 minutes over being in there youre ankle deep in water not to mention pink mould growing in there. Not worth the price not worth staying here at all.

This is a very odd motel that seems to work mostly with the coach trade. Bus loads of tourist arrived each night and were rushed out after eating a horrible, mostly cold breakfast (that includes the hot items) in the morning. I can’t recommend it. The sofa was located underneath the tv facing the beds! The beds faced the tv. There was a kettle and toaster, but no plates or cutlery. You get the idea.
We stayed 2 nights. The place was sufficient for our purposes. Unfortunately we were in the room up front and near road. The tour bus drivers apparently use this hotel too because they would fire up the busses at 7:30. Not a deal breaker but if we stayed again we would request room in back of property
