This is an old basic motel. Whilst the rooms had everything you needed, and were fairly clean, mattresses were terrible and we all had sore backs the next day with very little sleep.

No hassle parking the tractor outside. Solid concrete walls on unit endured a quiet night. Nice touch with the fresh half pint of milk in a sealed glass bottle that was offered. Very suiting for the area.
