To frame up my review: I am not precious about the places I stay. I want a clean room, working facilities, a quiet nights sleep and a good location for what I want to get done. When I travel is all about the destination, not the hotel room.
We were only staying 1 night and I'm pleased I didn't have to spend 2 nights there.
The room was what I expected - right out of the 70s with faded carpet, but it was the little things that creeped me out.
The powerpoints were so old it was almost impossible to find one that would hold the plug in - what? At night the old pipes creaked, pinged & shuddered making it difficult to get back to sleep until they stopped. The towels were threadbare but clean and just fine.
The thing that gave me the real creeps was pulling back the sheets to find a circular, threadbare patch in the sheet. At first I thought it was a giant stain (YUCK!), but after ginger investigation it turned out to be a round-threadbare-patch. I have no idea how this would happen...
So all in all if you need a place for 1 night and are desperate go up or down the street and stay at one of the other motels. I'd pay another $20 for a better room that didn't have a creepy feel to it.
