The owner/managers were crabby. They have their relatives living in some of the rooms and they drink and fight with one another. There was no blanket on my bed; just a sheet and bedspread. The paint in the bathroom was still wet and the shampooed carpet, as well. What appeared to possibly be a bullet hole was in the rooms window. The price couldn't be beat. I have no complaints. It was my sweethearts and mine love nest for a week, six years ago. We are married now and living in St Louis,MO. Neither of us would change a thing with Pecks Motel.
