We stayed one night, I was a little skeptical I never stayed at a motel and the outside was old and dirty. It’s right off the highway. I was pleasantly surprised how clean and updated the room was. Something’s were old like the phone. The staff was friendly and explained everything and answered my concerns. It was worth it for one night and the price was good.

Room wasn a little nicer than expected, but still very much a motel. Much quieter than expected, given it's right next to the highway.

This room was clean and the staff was nice but the room was way over priced, bathroom door didn't close and the only amenities was the coffee in the room. For the price of the room they should provide a good breakfast. Again over priced for what you get. We are at a Best Western as of this writing for less of a price and they serve a hot breakfast in the morning, also a much bigger and comfortable room.
