This motel hasn't been repaired or updated in many years. It's basically clean (I think), but hard to tell from the crumbling walls and floors. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Air conditioner very noisy, but it worked. Definitely not worth the nearly $100 for a night.
I had such a bad feeling about this place, but it was only $100 - but I know why!! Terrible location - rusted out, flat tire car parked out front - railroad next door - and needs complete renovation....or torn down and re-built!! I have to say although the room was small, our toilet ran all night, the air conditioner (window unit) was smelly and loud, our room was clean. That is about the only positive, but a good positive! Other than that, I would put out the extra $$ and go somewhere else!!
This place is the oldest motel I have every seen and should be closed. The room we had was a dump. Were do I begain...... old, needs so many repairs that I could go on forever.....needs to be closed. Bathroom had an open circuit for a light that was not covered. No fan in the bathroom. The cupboards were so old they were chipping. There was a metal wall that they put up on the wall next to the stove. The curtains were hanging off the track, so go to a better Hotel because was not a Hotel or Motel.
Room was very clean, bed was comfy, owner was friendly. The place is showing it's age, but I didn't pay $200 either, so, no complaints. I will be staying here again in a week, so that should be testimonial enough.
Staying in retro motels on a road trip is a lot of fun. This place is just old, as it needs some serious repairs and maintenance. There were holes in the curtains and window screens that could be patched. There were holes in the paneled walls that could be filled. The sink and bathtub didn't drain well at all, and there was a lot of cracked tile. The microwave door was cracked and broken, but patched with some tape. We didn't use it because of that. All the furnishings showed a lot of wear, so we didn't have high hopes for good sleep after seeing the room.
The bed was really good, though, and the room was definitely clean enough for a good night's sleep after a hard day of driving. I can't say the place was friendly, because the person who checked us in didn't smile once. But maybe it was just an off day.
One thing that was fun was the pink neon light that went along the whole roofline. Of course you need to keep the curtains pulled tight at night, but THAT is the real retro deal. It rained heavily that night, so we didn't hear any road or train noise, if there was noise.
