I made reservations for two nights at this motel fully expecting a "budget" room. But the motel is run down, and run by people who barely speak English. The small motel office serves as home to the manager and what I suppose is his family. The rooms are dirty, the linen stained, along with the towels. In order to get hot water the taps have to be opened for 10 minutes or so. We had a small dog with us, a Yorkshire terrier, and apparently management arbitrarily imposed a $50.00 "penalty" for having a dog, so the manager knocked on our door the morning after the first night's stay and demanded that I pay the penalty fee. I declined and left, deciding not to take advantage of the second night that I had paid for. So, in effect, he got his "penalty" fee. There's a bar/cafe located next door to the motel office. Perhaps the motel's main source of income comes late at night after this bar closes?? I think it should be put out of business. It's a disgrace.
