Arrived in the late evening after a long drive and the staff was incredibly friendly and warm! Stayed here with my dog and the room was nice and spacious. WiFi was pretty funky at times, but signal in general was really great in the area.

Room had a lot of flies in it. I don’t know if the people before me left the door open or what but was kind of annoying. The refrigerator freezer was nice and plenty big. The remote control of the TV wouldn’t work from the bed. I had to get up right in front of it to change the channels.

I really liked the lady at the front desk. She was very cheerful and helpful. It is an older motel, but it was sufficient for what we needed. The bed was comfortable. They had nice shampoo, lotion, etc. that aren’t in some lower cost motels. The price was very good too.

This place needs help. Carpeting in room was torn and dirty, the dark wall paneling looked like it was from 1976, there was mold in the shower tile, and general finish of the sink area was of poor quality and dirty. On the plus side, the front desk lady was very sweet, and the room had a nice little fridge and was nicely sized. Beds were comfortable.
