No coffee maker, small disgusting room. Walls had tape covering large holes...filthy bathroom and 30 year old crippling bed. No coffee or breakfast in lobby...rude foreign ownership...way over priced at 55 dollars as Motel 6 is only 40 dollars, tax and all, and is clean and quite nice. During the night I was bitten several times and checked the bed... More

“A poor choice.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2008

We won't use this motel again. The rooms were tiny, the advertised continental breakfast was ridiculous. Other amenities were mediocre at best. The price was low, but not low enough to compensate. I had to apologize to the other three members of my party for putting us here. I don't remember anything else about it, and don't want to.
