Okay right now
It was an older motel that was in the process of remodeling and was lacking some of the furniture. I asked the manager for a microwave and he loaned his. He has only been there 2 1/2 months and working hard to improve the place.

Room(s) were very bare. Just a bed. No electrical outlets except for the TV, and microwave. The one bedroom had one, and it didn’t work. Maybe under construction, but very lacking!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room needed a lot of work. The bathroom floor was dirty, the shower taps were loose, and it was obvious that the owners had not spent any money on the motel for decades. The photo suggests that it is old but reasonably well cared for, but this is deceptive.

Filthy...
We did not have any idea that a hotel could be so bad. When we were checked in, that place had too much smoke smell. We stayed here just for one night. The room and the washroom had intolerable bad smell (like dead rat). In washroom there were no hot water supply. No toiletries. We used our own sleeping bag for sleeping due to unhygienic environment. We were waiting for the sunrise so that we can leave this filthy room as soon as possible. This hotel listing must be removed from the Expedia.

terrible bugs
The room itself is good. But there are some terrible bugs which could bite you when you are sleeping can cause itch for days.
