I walked into the room and their was a steak knife placed in an unsettling position in the kitchen (in between the handles of the cabinets as to keep them shut). One of the frames for the pictures above the bed was shattered and not repaied. Observed black substances in the washroom. Untidy bedding.
Room carpet is so dirty you cannot walk without sandel.
Bathroom condition was very bed and need completely renewation. Bed sheets not good. Do not recommened
No one present for my check-in. Long wait. Pleasant owner but insisted I pay him even when I had opted to pay direct to Expedia. My room was very shabby - but very comfortable bed. If you have quality control over the facilities you list, you should take a look at this place - it does not speak well to Expedia customers.
Booked at the modern but was moved to the old county due to overbooking. We actually should have bailed and went somewhere else. The room was dirty, smelly and super dated. I have nothing good to say and would NEVER stay there again and definitely not recommend this place to anyone.
Not so good. Usually cheaper motels are dated but mostly acceptable. This room was in overall disrepair and very small for two beds. Not worth the price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The stone sculptures around the property and the very 1950's decor in the rooms.
The internet speeds were only good enough for basic usage such as emails. Uploading larger files was tough.
Gas stations Esso was nearby and therefore collecting PCPoints was easy.
We love the small Ma&Pa hotels. This owner is the nicest man you will ever meet.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Booked a room at this hotel. Was sent down the street to their "other" rooms. Very old, beds very uncomfortable. Limited plugins. However was very clean. Gentlemen who showed us the room was very friendly and helpful
