So, how to start. First, let's realize what this place is. An outdated MOtel in a small town that only realizes business from roughnecks and weary travelers that have no alternative.
I only needed a bed for one night, and the reality of the other two hotels with no vacancy left me with no choice.
Location is on the corner of the highway and the Main Street of town, so be prepared for traffic noise. My room was reasonably clean but the air was quite stale when entering. Rooms are equipped with a small flat screen, cable with HBO, telephone, microwave, fridge, and a coffee pot. All of which I would have gladly traded for wifi. Ice is located in the office which I am pretty sure came out of the ice maker in the owners fridge.
I have stayed in comparable motels of this class for half the price. Being charged $65, you might be better served pressing on if you are just passing through or seeking something more upscale. The other hotels were all booked up, but the flamingo looked promising and the clerk was super friendly but I can't confirm any info except my first impression.
All in all, I would say that I don't have any major complaints as far as cleanliness, equipment working, or basic needs. But I do feel that I was overcharged for what this is. read more
