Basic vintage motel that has been recently remodeled. Spacious. Comfortable bed. Fairly quiet, given proximity to busy highway. Very friendly front staff. I mentioned to the desk clerk that some of the wallpaper in the bathroom needs minor repairs before it gets torn.

The walls are paper thin. I could hear the guest in the next room coughing, spitting and snoring. I did not sleep all night. There were black hairs in the sink.
