This was a perfectly adequate 3-night stop for me, and an excellent value. The staff was nice, everything worked, and breakfast was adequate. It's not a spot for a romantic weekend. We often find even very upscale places with only one chair in the room. This was better: a small table with two chairs, and a desk with a third chair. Bed was comfortable, bathroom good. The area outside the motel is pretty stark. Parking lot front and back. No landscaping. Just fine for a place to sleep, but not a place to hang out.
