Pleasant surprise! Clean, comfortable bed and well kept. Good price. The lady at check-in was really friendly and polite. It is a small, older motel but has been tastefully upgraded and maintained.

A low budget motel with a high price. But still cheaper than any other hotel in the area. Ok for one night. No breakfast. TV is small and has no HD. Has a table and 2 chairs in front area, which was nice for playing cards and eating your own breakfast. Single serve coffee maker but no kettle as pictured. Bed was ok for comfort, pillows were lumpy. Exterior looks old and unkept. Garbage pile outside our bedroom window.

Very clean, comfortable room! Check in was easy. Your typical older motel on the loud highway, but our room was in the back and quiet. Would stay again.
