For what we paid, the propertys condirion is very tired and old. The price was probably due to a third party booking service, was unable to find a direct phone number to book.

Okay overnight stayover motel

Great friendly customer service. Okay for an overnight stay, spacious and clean enough. However, since it was a little dated and dark decor it made the room feel like it was unclean. Bed manchester had some stains on the cover.

The motel is right in the middle of town and was perfectly located for our needs. It was also very affordable. We knew we would arrive later in the evening and the office would not be staffed, so we were told beforehand how to get the key to our room which worked out very well. The room was spacious and had several amenities. The only suggestion I have is to update your bedding and mattresses. They were sufficient but worn.
