Didnt realize it was an older motor lodge with car parking right out the doors. Made it a little sketchy and noisy. Otherwise it was fine for one night.

Typical individually owned small town motel. Nothing fancy but it was convenient and the office team couldn't be more friendly and helpful.

Finding assigned parking spaces directly in front of each ground floor unit was an unexpected nice touch after a long day on the road! Well worth the extra few miles off the freeway to reach this accommodation!

Both the baseboard heaters and the bathroom heater did not work, which they knew about, but did not tell me when I checked in. When I reported this they offered flimsy excuses, and gave me a small electric heater to put in the bathroom. The added electric heater in the main refrigerator was was marginal at best, and with both the single wall heater and small bathroom heater it was still sub standard.

Hi Thomas, The flimsy excuse was actually the real thing happening. We have now ordered the new bathroom heaters and will have them installed as soon as they get here. The electrician was just here the day before or the day you arrived to make sure we got the right heaters. They should be here by the end of the month. The old ones were dangerous and we did disable them recently for safety reasons. We are sorry you found the room sub-standard, updating the property has been a work in progress since the change of ownership. Safe travels and happy trails always.
