Once I paid they gave me an electric heater and said use it if you need it. It was a 2 day stay. I got to the room and found the interior heater had caught fire, hence the electric heater. I found dust on everything. I reached up to grab a towel and dust bunnies came floating down. No one came to clean the room during my stay. The TV would only turn on from the TV. Although you could change the channel using the remote. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Donald Aug 8, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Donald Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 7, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort staff friendly,helpfull. room clean ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Donald Jul 31, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Back to the 60s! It's an old fashioned motel, back from the days when you saw a place by the road with all the rooms in a row. Checkin and checkout were easy. The room had things unplugged, as if the owner did not want me using them, including the air conditioner. I was able to turn the air conditioner to high or low, but could not adjust the coolness (the knob was taken off.) I was simply interested in a night's sleep, which was why I chose the place. ##### Donald Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ashbrooke](https://www.expedia.ca/Egg-Harbor-Hotels-The-Ashbrooke.h1971495.Hotel-Information) > > [Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort Wisconsin Dells](https://www.expedia.ca/Wisconsin-Dells-Hotels-Yogi-Bears-Jellystone-Park-Camp-Resort-Wisconsin-Dells.h9437651.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Chula Vista Resort, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Wisconsin-Dells-Hotels-Chula-Vista-Resort.h913133.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Bridgeview Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Superior-Hotels-Best-Western-Bridgeview-Hotel.h21684.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Mt.
