I only spent the night. Didn't go out. The room I was in could've used a more thorough cleaning and a freshening up with some paint and little things here and there. It was adequate for my need to just spend a night before moving on.

Great location, clean, friendly staff. The walls and ceiling are not sound proof at all. Very noisy people above us until 4 am. Could literally hear every word, dragging chairs, and even using the bathroom. Made it very hard to sleep, and felt a little unsafe.

Very dirty and ran down.

Nice guy at the checkin, but the motel is extremely ran down. black and brown spots in bathroom, caulking gone, all walls chipped and paint gone, bedding heavily cigarette burned and very stained. Like a b-movie set for a 15 dollars per-hour motel scene. A lot of dealing and other wrongdoing going on in other rooms.

Was next door to a Smitty's, so didn't have far to go to get dinner or breakfast. Motel was old and run-down. Room was clean but sparse and tired looking. Bed was comfortable but bedding was threadbare.
