    That you have to pay a 100$ deposit if your a local or within 50miles if the hotel even though the person who's name the room was going to be under is from out of state but bc I am a local and I was going to be staying with him we still had to pay the deposit.

    I asked for a nonsmoking room on first floor cause of my handicap physically. First they were putting me on 2nd floor and It was difficult for me to walk up and down got to the room it smelled like cigarettes. I have copd and smoke was really strong. Then they did have a downstairs room that smelled cigarette free. My son got a room that smelled like cigarettes and they was a roach crawling on the wall. they changed his room too. They only gave me clean towels and cleaned bath room once. People next door were smoking Pot and wee loud. Won't be using this ecolodge.

    DId n't eat there. that they allow pets. it was listed under Linda maxwell Room172 and Donald Maxwell Room 270

    The room was dirty hair and dirt all over the floor. Hair in the tub, stains all in the fridge, Roaches were crawling everywhere the blankets had stains and a lot of burn holes. AC did not work right I called to be moved to another room because it was hot, but I was told no rooms available but there clearly was and also had a friend call He said rooms were available. They are there just to make money and do not take pride in the building and they don't care or accommodate their Customers.

    Awful experience, the add said it gave breakfast and that was not true. They took longer to check us in, they weren’t unprepared and the place was dangerous. There was even an incident with a car crash in one of the rooms.

    The room was dirty, disgusting, mold on ceiling and frig. Dirt on carpets and marker drawings on back or door, walls, bed headboard. Hair in the tub when we walked in. Lights didn't work. The others staying in adjacent rooms were loud and up all night. We were nervous that our truck was going to be broken into or stolen. The parking lot was covered in trash and the dumpster was overflowing with a smell that carried to our room. We would have found another place to stay had we not checking in, beyond tired and the funds withdrawn from account before hand.

    The employees were very nice. Nothing about the property it self!

    Bathroom (toilet) was not cleaned and sink cabinet was not wiped down. Luckily I had Lylcol wipes and cleaned them myself. Shower water was a straight stream and hard to rinse off. Had to ask for towels and wash cloths, only 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel on room. No towel to stand on once out of Shower either and trash not dumped and plate with food was in trash....Toilet paper low and the paper the roll was on, was in hole behind the partial roll...

    Friendly young lady at desk.

    My group checked into room 264 and, right off the bat, we smelled pot and noticed that the light for the main living space didn’t work. We checked the bathroom and the ceiling was covered with black mold. We uncovered the mattresses and observed mold too. We told the receptionist of this and she checked us into room 276, which was no worse than room 264. Its main light didn’t work as well. I unzipped the mattress protector for one bed and noticed a dead roach. The fire alarm was ripped off and we can smell old cigarette smoke that stuck to this place. We flipped the table and observed mold. There were cracks in the ceiling. Both rooms were not cleaned at all; the floors are filthy. The rooms are filthy in general. Our group has one kid and this place is no place for a kid to stay at. I’m advising you to avoid booking here at all. People are living in this motel.
