Good value, less than good mattress and pillows

Room was clean and felt safe with plenty of hot water in the shower. Tub a bit dingy, but most likely from age and not because it wasn’t being cleaned. Check-in and check-out was smooth. This is definitely a place where you get what you pay for, so the bed felt like sleeping on a cardboard box and the pillows were few in number and lumpy. The laminate floor was shockingly cold in the morning. All of that said, I was in town for a volunteer event and so tired both nights that I just appreciated having a quiet, safe, cheap spot to sleep.

I didn't need much, didn't pay much, and didn't get much. This was just a cheap roadside stop. The room was noticeably dirty. Big obvious stain on the bed cover, sticky drink rings on the night table, hair ball on the floor.... yikes! No brek. And that's probably safer anyway. Your wife won't like this place. Look elsewhere.

It’s a motel, don’t expect all the frills. Good price, but will say beds a bit too firm though.

The walls are thin & guest will hear their neighbor’s noise. Be sure you’re not assigned a room beside a barking dog or crying baby if such annoys you,
