Ok the staff was friendly but this hotel was not clean at all. My bathroom floor was gone as in rotten. This place is way out dated and wasn't worth the money and couldn't imagine sleeping there in the heat of summer.

This motel has received negative reviews in the past and potential customers should be aware of a change in ownership and major renovations that have taken place and others that are underway. The new operator, Navin Tamakuwala, has improved standards dramatically. My suggested rating will likely move to 3.5* when all the work is complete. Sandra provides the same fabulous... More

There were no identifying marks. The sign had apparently been blown away by the wind. The room was ... there. 3 locks on the door and only... More

The price is right so don't expect high end furnishings and comfort. Location is great, right on HWY 11 as you enter town with a restaurant on site. If you seek modern furnishings and rooms, pay more and stay at the Best Western Swan Castle.

We got the only room left. Carpet was well worn; the door frame was splintered., and the queen size bed frame had a broken leg. We slept on the double bed.
