The space is really small. The TV was tiny. I almost couldn’t believe I paid money to stay in a room so poorly updated. I guess it was only 80 dollars but I don’t understand why it hasn’t been renovated since 1982. We still managed to have a good time in spite of these hurdles with the room.

MOTEL HELL, false advertising they show a pic on expedia and give u a different room. My closet is as big as this room the owner and employer at Nova Motel are rude and liars and are only interested in trying to switch and bait and then try to put u in the right room by upcharging u $20 more for the right room that u should have got in the first place. Also the floors are filthy and they have a space heater in the wall and u burn your arm passing by it, totally elegal. And the site says they have free wifi and they claim they have no wifi and just laugh in your face about it. Total false advertising! They will be answering to the Attorney General and Consumers Protection Bureau soon. I WANT MY MONEY BACK! BEWARE of staying here for real!

There were no outside lights on when we arrived after dark. It was a run down area.

I like that it is reminiscent of days gone by before all the big chain hotels started taking over. It was a very warm and relaxed feel to the room. I flew solo so I didn’t use the jacuzzi tub for two but I’m sure that would be a nice add-on for a couple “kids” in love, no matter what your age. 😄

It is a great place to stay at a reasonable price when fishing in the area. They have coolers available for your fish at the end of the day. Definitely nice for a no frills guy trip.

My stay was quiet and comfortable. The gentleman on duty the next morning saw I was having trouble with getting my friend out in to my cast.He came over and help me. He was very kind and concern for us.

This property looks like it was built in the 50’s and never repaired or remodeled. Door and windows were old and windows didn’t even lock. Chair and carpeting in the room were old and the place smelled musty. We left to find a different hotel. Unfortunately lost out on $148, but I wouldn’t have been able to sleep in that room if we stayed.

The entry door had over a half inch gap leading to outside. Had to put a blanket under the door to keep potential mice and critters out. Ceiling tiles were stained. Bathroom plug not working properly Ants on the carpet Blanket Used to cover the door was probably 10 years old or older Very old rundown would not recommend it to anyone
