I was greeted by Deb, who’s back and better than ever, and Joe, who’s a dream boat. Then I walked into my room and found 20 roaches. I killed them right away. I’ve stayed in plenty of motels, so I know the drill, but the smell was suspicious. It wasn’t as bad as I expected, considering the piss, jizz, blood, and other unidentifiable liquids all over the bed and pillow. I have social anxiety and was too scared to ask for fresh sheets and pillows, so I slept on those unidentifiable liquids. Deb was very apologetic. She warned me she’d left her panties under my pillow. I’m Croatian, and we’re big on panties, so I felt it was disrespectful to throw them away. I think they made the smell quite a bit worse. Later I found more roaches, as the picture shows. I’m a pretty lonely soul, so I let them into the bed to keep me company. Yes, I’m ashamed. My body heat ended up killing them. Yes, I’m overweight.

What stood out was how professional, friendly, and available the manager was. Their care and attention made everything run smoothly and kept the stay stress-free. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, beautifully kept, and had what I needed to relax. The management and rooms together made this a truly exceptional place.

Angie, the young woman managing the place, helped us out quite a bit. It’s a secure location, and the rooms were clean with impeccable service. Yankee buckboard, and thank you, Angie.

I’m enjoying my stay here. The rooms are roomy, immaculate, and comfortable, and the staff have been welcoming and really friendly. It feels very secure, with management onsite. Thanks for the great customer service and clean rooms. I’d highly recommend it as one of the best motels in town. :)

The woman who runs the place is really nice, and the rooms are nice too. It’s a little noisy because of the location, though they’ve taken steps to make it feel safe.
