Your very average stop-over motel. You get what you pay for, just needs some TLC in updates. No creepy crawlies though or rodents so that’s 👍

Property owner was nice and helpful. Very hasslefree. For the price, you really can’t go wrong. It’s definitely not the Ritz Royalton or something, but the price reflects that. I would stay here again.
