Alright, this is gonna be long. TL;DR at the bottom. I want to start by saying this is a motel…read more This is not a hotel. This is not a bed and breakfast. This is not a cute little roadside inn. This is a *motel*. If your idea of a motel is the Travelodge on the good side of town, this is not for you. Its not cute, chic, vintage, or cozy. Its a motel. This is not somewhere you take your family because you are trying to spend a little less. This is where you stay when you accidently spent all your money on LSD on your "find yourself" road trip. This review keeps all of this in mind.
This place was entirely adequate. Its was fine. It provided everything that I can expect of a motel. It has a bed, a shower, a tv, and a toilet. This place has not been remodeled since like, 1995. There were holes in the walls, shower was taped up, deadbolt had to be finessed to work, and stains on some stuff. None of this mattered to me because its a motel.
The couple that runs it were very sweet. A few reviews said they are rude, and they are not rude at all, they are very to the point, no small talk people, but very nice. We said we were checking in, they said "Okay, $50 deposit:", we paid that, and they said "Here's your key and room number". Not rude at all, just not all small talky. There is a $50 cash deposit. Cash only. I don't really know what its for, because they gave it back to us before they checked the room.
A few reviews mentioned bed bugs. There was not evidence of a single bug anywhere in the room. Not bed bugs, not roaches, not spiders, not even a fly. Another review said that pest control was out often, and when you get there you are greeted with a notice saying they have to spray for citrus aphids. There is an outbreak right now (as for me posting this) in a lot of places of the country. They are not poisonous, I didn't see a single one, and tbh, wouldn't have cared if I did. They are aphids. I guess maybe be aware if you own an orchard. In fact, I was so worried about bed bugs I actually pulled their health department history. They don't have a single bug or cleanliness related citation in the past 4 years, and that was as far back as the history went. They don't have bed bugs, I promise.
The location is fine if you are used to cities, if you are not its terrifying. The first night there was a full on catfight screaming match between two women who, as far as I can tell, were dating the same man. They were loud enough to keep me up, but not so loud that I could hear the whole story. They got kicked out after about 30mins. The second night, someone decided to set off fireworks outside our window. Yes, really. It was not gunshots. It was very clearly fireworks. Outside our window. They also got kicked out pretty quickly.
As for the inside, it was fine. Some holes, some duct tape, mismatched sheets, a few stains on the walls. Everything was extremely clean though. The furniture didn't match, but nothing was wrong with it. If you are an adult or couple just passing though for a night this is fine. It's loud. It's ugly. It's fine. It's a motel.
TL;DR:
Its ugly, old, loud, and kinda broken, but it's clean, there are no bugs, and it's fine. You gotta finesse the door to get it to lock, there was some tape and stains, and there is a $50 cash deposit. It's a motel.
