    There were no hangers or hanging rack for clothes.

    The motel is in a quiet area (much appreciated!) and in easy walking distance of a good Thai restaurant and the main street. The room was no-frills, but had all of the necessary things that were in working order.

    The shower head was breaking and the water pressure was bad. It trickled out and took forever to wash the soap off and shampoo out of my hair. Also the area the motel is at has lots of homeless/ drug addicts. There were people going through garbages and yelling outside.

    The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. I have pain and the bed was one of the more comfortable motel beds I have slept in.

    I wasn't happy with the location it was back behind the main Motel almost like in an alley. There were guys sitting back on the grass as we went into a room. I think they were workers. I didn't like the fact that the pillows fell off the bed because there were no headboard. I felt very uncomfortable when I was checking in and a man was standing there swearing profusely and they were swearing back at him and tell him to leave and he slammed the door as he went out. I'm sure this was just bad timing on my part as this probably doesn't happen very often.

    Everything very clean and comfortable as far as the room was concerned.

    Actually, it's not the type of place to have an ice machine or breakfast offered, so I think they did pretty good. The gal whom checked me in was very nice and pleasant.

    I thought the rate was kind of higher based on the amenities offered. No continental breakfast, no ice available. Having said that, I did not book out at least a week, so I'm sure I could get a better rate. I mostly picked this location because it was off I84 and thought it might be quieter. It was quiet. The beds were comfortable, so given all of that, the stay was pretty good for 1 night.

    The location was scary looking. The exterior of the building was very run down looking. I felt unsafe. The room should have had an additional deadbolt and additional privacy curtains but did not. Another issue was poor customer service. Our fridge and microwave were not working so we returned to the office where an older lady said yes the fridge was fine but the switch just wasn’t on. ??? Sure enough, she went up with us and you have to turn on a wall switch to turn the fridge on. I explained that we had items which needed refrigeration and asked how long it would take for the fridge to cool down. No clear answer from her. We asked if there was a different room where the fridge was already working, she said no but the place seemed to have about half occupancy. Basically, she didn’t care that our room was not attended to properly or that we might lose some of our groceries.

    The young lady who checked us in was very nice. The room had definitely been updated and was clean.

    The water pressure in the shower was lacking due to a leak in the handle. No ice machine but the front desk offered a tray, which was super thoughtful!

    The room was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. She knew the area and restaurant selections.

    It was wonderful. The manager was terrific to us, giving great help and also advising us to one of the best ice cream places down fourth street that we’ve ever eaten. our needs has a senior couple more than expected. The price was unbelievably low for such a wonderful experience.

    Tv only had 1 local channel, had someone in the room for 30 min trying to fix it because was supposed to get cable w/HBO. The small apartment size refrigerator was so gross and smelled really bad, so didn’t get to store our sodas in it. The microwave was dirty. Then in morning while taking a shower the shower head had water spraying from fittings, and sink leaked from fittings under it onto the floor when brushing our teeth. We advised the owner of all of this when we checked out and she actually insinuated it wasn’t like that when we went in the night before. Really!

    It took a lot of waiting to be checked in, and the first sign something was off was the janky-looking key I got for my room. The lower row of rooms where mine was located smelled like pee and the doorknob for my room looked like it was about to fall off. I did NOT feel safe, nor did I feel like I could leave my valuables in my room and expect them to be safe in there. I just took my stuff, dropped off the key, and left. Never in my life have I felt the need to do this.

    The staff was using a leaf blower after 9pm. They charged me a security deposit because, "people sometimes punch the TVs". They didn't make me pay a deposit last time I stayed.

    Very clean and quick check in. Staff is very friendly. We walked to the burger joint and had the best Halibut and fried asparagus! My husband had the bacon burger and it was exceptional along with the strawberry milkshake. We have stayed here before and will do again! Best for the money for sure!

    Not safe! Bathroom light switch in the shower and not connected to a GFI circuit. Microwave, mini fridge and toaster oven all plugged into the same power strip. And the AC unit would not shut off. I had to unplug the unit. I'm a firefighter of 42 years.

    Comfortable bed and friendly staff.

    Dirty, poop stuck on the outside of the toilet bowl. Toaster oven didn’t work, called front desk to see what they could do and they said that it was old and they were planning to remove it soon, but there was nothing that could be done to replace it or help cook my kids a frozen pizza. A pizza I purchased because I saw the toaster oven in the room and it was the only option being so late at night when we arrived.

    The Bed was surprisingly comfortable
