    This location is probably a good candidate for a total rebuild,, Looked like most everything had been repaired or replaced at least once or twice. Some pesky flies were in the room that bothered when you tried to go to sleep.

    This is an older motel with a good location close to the interstate and easy to access by auto. It is close to convenience stores and gas stations. And the price was good.

    The interstate traffic and others staying there were a bit loud. Someone's car alarm went off a few times, which I understand is out of the motel's control.

    Comfortable bed, all the amenities I needed, and the affordable price is definitely a plus. The staff has always been very friendly even when I make reservations last minute or late at night. Easy check in and out, too.

    Before arriving, we were stuck in 3 hours of festival exit traffic. We arrived at about 3:00 AM to a locked and dark lobby. I had to ring a bell for service, and the employee who appeared gestured to a 'No Vacancy' sign. I told her through the door that we had a reservation. She let me in, and I told her my name. She immediately scolded me for not calling to tell them that we would be arriving. I informed her that we had been in a rural field without a signal to call. She checked their bookings and told me that there was no reservation. I showed her on my phone that I had made a reservation and had a confirmation number. I'm not sure how she had 'no vacancy' because she then told me that they only had 2 rooms left. Upon getting the key (an actual, metal key), she let me know that the door could be 'tricky.' In retrospect, I should have requested that she accompany my daughter and me up to the room to assist with the door. We struggled in the darkness of 3:00 AM with our bags and a room door that was very difficult to open. As we struggled with the door, I heard a faintly familiar noise; after we gained entry, I found that the smoke detector was beeping due to a low battery. I had to stand on a table to remove the 9-volt battery so we could go to sleep. There was a dead bug on the bathroom counter. You have to stand on a chair to operate the AC unit, which was lined with silver duct tape. In the morning, I could see daylight showing through where the unit was installed in the wall. When I pulled out a bath towel, it had two long, black hairs tangled in it (neither of us has long black hair). The TV area was a mess of dusty and visibly dirty cords with a power strip lying on a table. There were no outlets by the nightstand to charge our phones or plug in the alarm clock. I had hopes that this could be a 'no frills' stop for us after a long day, in an area that doesn't have many hotel options.

    We had a quiet stay.

    First I got a room that was smokey The second room locked me out while bringing in my stuff. Charged the keys as they didn't work and it happened 2 more times until I was locked out completely. The guy who worked at the desk tried everything but took ages to open the door. He changed the battery and still nothing finally opened the door but it didn't work so I got the 3rd room. It was good. The bad frame was really flimsy and the bed moved but I am lightweight so it was fine. Even these unfortunate things happened I would probably book again if I need a cheap accommodation at a relatively safe place.

    The Stuff was nice especially the guy who worked the night I was checked in . Sorry I can't recall his name. The suits were clean and decent as you could cook if you wanted. This room was good for me for what I needed. Sleep somewhere and take a shower. The receptionist tried to find the solution so I was grateful. This is a budget hotel so I did not have high expectations.
