This motel is awful for the price you pay! We paid $220 for 3 nights! and it was awful! There were stains all over the sheets, there were holes in the wall and there were insects everywhere! It was gross! You couldn't walk to downtown from here you had to get a bus or taxi...and the area was so dodgy!... more

After a night of partying at an adult nightclub, my girlfriend and I (we are in our late 30s) met up with another couple who had been out with us at the same nightclub.

All night long there were visitors to the room next door. I have a strong suspicion that our neighbours were involved in the narcotics... more

Stayed a week for CMT - Music Festival and had the best time of my life @ this historic site! Wonderful nostalgic motel, which takes you back in time by at least 30 years! Friendly stuff, especially the "head" - house keeper, which was extremely helpul to us. On the huge 60's neon sign it says: "STAY WHERE THE STARS... more
