I really liked that the hotel was next to a grocery store. It was so convenient and made my stay cheaper than it would have been because I was just able to pop in and buy something to eat from the store.

Value is right for this small motel. Room was basic but clean. Management responded promptly to text messages. Located right at the intersection of highways 160 and 149, so it is very noisy even at night with sound of passing trucks.
