Had a lovely stay when I was in town for work. Just a short drive from their downtown, It sits along a very small road just near the outskirts of town. Rooms were clean and serviced daily, staff was very welcoming and friendly. Definitely will stay there again when working in the area.

An aging motel in an out-of-the-way location that's unwalkable to almost anything. The rooms and baths have been recently updated and are nicely appointed.The rooms, however, are quite small. The pool appeared to have green water with trash floating in it. Still, this works for a fast night's sleep in the middle of a road trip.
