Don’t arrive hungry. The only restaurant in town may or may not be open. The food was so so. Wanted to have breakfast in the morning, however the only resting town decided they would not open so we hit the road hungry.

Had a bed, that’s the only positive I can say

Passing through on a drive to a further destination, this motel offered a clean bed that was comfortable enough for a night on the road. The room was not in a good state of upkeep, damage to the door, the tables, the wall in the bathroom left much to be desired. The toilet was clogged, and as we checked in late in the evening we didn’t notice until the morning. It definitely had not been cleaned from the previous occupant. If we had arrived earlier I definitely would have asked for a different room.
