“Give them a chance”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

Our room was recently remodeled - clean, no complaints. The manager was very nice and helpful. His family had bought this place recently and is beginning to remodel. This is a typical older property with a quaint feeling of family vacations from the past. Our room had two doors - one led out to the common area, a nice place for a picnic and easy access to the pool. It is a budget motel and older, but worth the money. We used a travel coupon book and the price was excellent. We stayed here before Christmas and will stay there again. I recommend ignoring the bad reviews - ask for a remodeled room and give new management a chance.

Room Tip: Ask for remodeled room.

“overpriced, decrepit motel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2008

i selected this motel based on price but later found out that i could have received an even better discount if i had used a coupon from roomsaver magazine. the websites describing this motel and the pictures used are all very deceiving. the room i was in was extremely decrepit; it was very dirty, desperately needed to be painted and repaired. there was spackle smeared on the walls with no attempt to paint over it. the furniture was also dirty and decrepit and the room lighting was poor. the room did have a fridge and microwave. the night i stayed there, there was only one other occupied room and i can see why. the owner appeared to be indifferent. this place is in serious need of a cleaning.

  • Liked — fridge and microwave in room
  • Disliked — extremely dirty, depressing room

“this is the worst hotel I have ever seen”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2008

roof was covered with plastic because it leaked, paint peeling, smelled bad, bedding dirty, shower had mildew in it, outlet looked as if it had caught on fire, could not stay in room, called around and found other accomidations. Hotel still made us pay for one night. hotel manager yelled at us when we told him it was unacceptable. I would not recommend this place. definate health department violations
