We have never been so disappointed and disgusted by a motel where we stayed. There were so many things wrong in this motel room that I will need to list them. 1. The shower curtain was completely moldy at the bottom. 2. The shower did not drain properly. 3. The shower rod was rusted. 4. The towel racks in the bathroom were clean on one end and caked with dust on the other. 5. The bathroom sink was missing the drain stopper, which was sitting in the corner of the bathroom counter. 6. The sink and front panel of the sink were dirty with stains and spills 7. The toilet did not flush properly. 8. The safety latch on the door was broken. 9. The corner of the floor at the entrance of the room was chipped off. 10. The ceiling panel in the closet area had severe water damage where the tile was brown with stains. 11. The entire room was dusty and dirty 12. The microwave was filthy inside. 13. Refrigerator was not working. 14. When we inspected the beds on arriving, we found two little hairs on one bedsheet. 15. There was a fly, mosquito, and gnats in the room. 16. The sliding glass doors to go out on the balcony were covered with fingerprints and streaks of unknown substance. As you can see, we did not feel comfortable in that room. My brother refused to take a shower because of the moldy shower curtain and could not use the microwave due to the lack of cleanliness. With all of these listed complaints, I would give this motel a rating of zero.

Just an OK stay
The rooms was large and had a nice balcony to sit and listen to the river. The property is very dark at night as is most of the area. There was a weird stench in our room that smelled like urine. I don't know if it was pet or human but it was STRONG. The poor kid at the front is doing most of the work himself. The back preparation areas are quite messy and you can tell there is no one there to organize and clean the front office. Furniture was dingy and stinky and the bed was super hard but for the night it made due. The breakfast is quite scarce and minimal. The juice is colored water and there was bagels, bread, peanut butter and cream cheese ...cold cereal and coffee. That was all. I think there was a dog thing going on because this property had all elderly folks and dogs. We stayed one night and we had to get a lower level because this property is not equipped with any elevators to get to the second level and we had HUGE bags we could not carry up two flights of stairs.
