Fine for the price
It's a very old hotel but economically priced and the front desk employee, maybe owner, was very friendly and quick. The bathroom definitely needs updating or a better clean. We chose not to shower due to looking like mold. It may have been a stain as the rest of the room was clean.

Dirty, poorly maintained rooms. Keys repeatedly stopped working and I had to go back to the front desk for new ones multiple times. Not worth it unless you’re trying to save money at all costs.

Not a five star hotel by any means but a five star review due to friendly helpful staff and clean room. Rooms and property are a little shabby and very dated, but for the price the place is comfortable and staff fully serviced the room each night. If I come back to the area I will stay here again.

Unfortunately there are bed bugs and my wife and I were both bitten throughout our stay. The motel owner tried to provide a refund, but he said since we booked with Expedia, we could not. Don't use Expedia.
