Great price .

Quick over night, I like the motel, park right in front of the door, quiet, close to gas, coffee, and breakfast. Really easy checkin, nice friendly young man up front. Great price, will definitely use again. The only suggestion would maybe up grade the shower towels, they were minimal size.
