“Would not recommend.”
+It was clean
−I paid for a queen bed, the bed was a full size. The heater was extremely loud, so sleeping was an issue.

“Budget Motel that meets expectations of comfort, quality and safety for the price point!”
+The owners of the motel are working hard to remodel and fix everything up. They are extremely accommodating and not-intrusive. They responded to any questions or concerns. We have to travel with my service dog and they are extremely nice and understanding. The place is quiet and nobody bothers you. I did not have a concern for my locked vehicle or worry about any crime. We have been repeat customers. NOTE: This is a budget motel and expect that. It is Value for your $$ at this price. No frills but provides what you need.
−I'm ok with the accommodations and the fact that the owners are working hard to improve the facility. Good for them. I got exactly what I needed from the visit.

“Stay away from this place!”
−Owner is unethical. Listing shows a pool which is why I booked. Turns out the pool is out of commission. He would not give me my $95 back.

“Had to call the police to get access to a room I "snuck into" according to the manager”
+Nothing, they need to be shut down
−I indicated I had a dog when I booked the hotel, there was no indication on the booking page that there were additional fees, but the man at the front desk asked for a pet fee on arrival. All fine, I'm happy to pay, but he requested cash only... weird. I had a wedding to get to so I paid and was done with it. While I was at the wedding I get a phone call saying the dog is barking and they are calling animal control because I didn't book a pet friendly room...what? They knew I had a dog, why did they put me in a non pet friendly room. After leaving the wedding early, we get back to find our keys to the room had been deactivated. We go to ask him for help and he asks to see the keys, takes them from us, then says "what keys? You snuck into that room when the cleaners had it opened. You didn't even have a booking." Then requests $200 more to let us in to get our belongings. After a long screaming match in the lobby where he, I kid you not, screamed at us calling us liars and accused us of sneaking in without having keys until we started crying, we went outside and sat in the parking lot while we tried to figure out what to do. Long story short, I called the police because they locked
