... I wanted to surprise my daughter for her Birthday & spend some quality time with her.. I tried calling the Motel numerous times & drove there numerous times and I couldn't get a hold of anyone.. There Vacancy sign was lit up but the office was dark & the lobby door was locked. I finally decided to e-mail them , about 3-4 days later I heard back from them .. We ended up having a friend pay for the room ahead of time with his credit card So this way we would be guaranteed a room especially for the long drive ahead for our friend.
To make a long story short there was no Birthday party for my Daughter !!! The only Suprise she got was paying for a room she never got to even in ..
When my Daughter pulled out from the parking lot the manager immediately came to the room asking me if they were coming back .. I told her as far as I know they are . Less then 5 minutes later the manager came back being very Rude towards me & said that I have to leave and to return the key because apparently she had tried to call my Daughter to find out if I had there permission to be in the room . But she couldn't get any answer. Does that make any sense yet they kept the money and never refunded a cent

It's not the Ritz, but it's comfortable.They may not have a pool or weight room, but they have clean rooms and free coffee. Wi-Fi, color TV and excellent service. If you get a room on the north side, you can keep an eye out on the boarder. There are several good places to eat and a grocery store across the street. Keep your expectations a little lower than the Hilton and your stay will be fine.

Walked in, found it to have the flavor of a mom & pop homey place. No odors (always a good sign), open feel. Manager and family live there. ||||Bedroom largest I've ever seen in a motel. When we was kids, we would have room to chase each other around, drive mom nuts.Two queen beds with pretty new bedspreads. Fresh paint everywhere. Real clean bathroom. Nicer vanity than than my own apartment. No hollows in the mattress, always nice, eh? And Carpet? Well, old carpet's old carpet, but he says it gets replaced soon. Says new mattresses soon, too.||||Startled me to be greeted by a border collie. Grew up there from a pup. They allow dogs and have a big area to walk them. ||||It's a block from the border crossing. The outside seems to be getting a freshening up. ||||Half a block from a Mexican restaurant, Chinese a couple more. Across the street from filling station with stuff like fancy coffees, big fresh donuts. Cross the other way, grocery with fresh made deli offerings. Down the road, real ice cream shop with a lot of flavors for real big creamy cones. ||||The good parts. Nice folks running it. Comfortable big couch and big tv in where the coffee was. Table and chairs to feed the family around. Laptop in the corner. Lots for the buck. If I'd crossed over to Canada, would have paid 2-3 times more for the same. Three vending machines, candy, snacks, soft drinks. And Bud beer? Or was that a joke? :) Everything from 50 to 70 cents if the signs are for real. Forgot to ask him.||||Benches outside in sun or shade to have a smoke or visit. Manager has a barbeque grill there and picnic tables in a grassy area. Playground set damaged in wind strom, but will be up again. ||||Stuff not prime - ||Well, when you see B&B, you think it means bed and breakfast, but there was only a pot of good coffee. The filling station and grocery for pastries, dairy things, fruit, juice. Asked him and said when he got here, place was really neglected. He's been working at making it nice, in and out, with the budget he gets. He's hoping to add a continental breakfast soon to get it back up to matching the name. ||||Sign faded and out of date, hard to see until you near drive past it. Train toots it's horn at a couple crossings during the night. Two trains. . ||||Would I stay there again? Yep.
