Nonsmoking room smelled like smoke and the a/c was terrible. We needed a room for about 8 hours before heading to the airport for a very early flight. The location was good for food options.

The property needs renovation. The bathroom is tiny and very old, paint is peeling off and the light switch turns on a very noisy fan. There’s no tea & coffee tray, though there is a microwave balanced precariously on top of a fridge.

On the positive side, the bed was very comfortable. On the negative side, the motel is definitely dated. The carpet is old/dirty and could stand to be replaced. My husband tried to shower but it wasn't draining at all so he had to keep shutting off the water. It took from 8 PM to 3 AM for the shower to finally drain.
