"This place really needs to do some serious maintenance and repairs. The first thing I noticed was the missing smoke detector. I found it and the batteries on a shelf above the clothes rack. The lady in the office told me she had to take it down because it was beeping due to low batteries. Two AA batteries should not be too hard to find. This would seem to be a serious safety issue.
All of the bathroom fixtures were corroded and covered with hard water deposits. The on/off valve in the bathtub/shower was almost totally inoperable. It worked by pulling out or pushing it in. Almost had to use a prybar to pull it out and a hammer to push it in.
The staff was friendly and helpful when they were present. They seemed to leave frequently and leave a note in the office with a number to call if they were needed.
I have noted the most serious discrepancies I saw. There were numerous others. If there were any other motels in town I would definitely not stay at this one. A friend that came into town from Oklahoma for the same reunion as myself took one look at the room she got and checked back out and returned to Oklahoma."
