The price was right and loved the dog friendly policy. However, the rooms were poorly stocked (no toilet paper) and not particularly clean (hotel keys from previous guests left in room, dust bunnies/hair in corners). Staff seemed stretched very thin.

This location has nice rooms and a convenient location. Unfortunately, my particular room was located on the end of the building, lower level, right next to the highway. I'm afraid the traffic noise was very loud, especially in the evening and extending until much later. It obviously was a major disappointment, even though the motel was nice.

Spiderwebs on the nightstands, gunk and disgusting something around the toilet, and a general unclean vibe that made me glad I brought my own blanket and pillow.

Room could have been cleaner, there was a dust buildup on the tv stand and cabinets, carpet looked dirty. Outside could use c=some maintenance (lawn, weeds, etc); "breakfast" was basic pastries, cereal, oatmeal packets.
