I did not like that the rooms were very close to each other, I could hear the people snoring in the next room.

There apparently is no sound proofing between rooms. The people talking next door (when we were trying to sleep) sounded as if they were in our room. After a few hours of sleep (finally) their talk awakened us at 4am.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
For an older motel, it was in fairly good shape. Bed was good, but the laundry items (sheets , towels etc.) all had a heavy perfume odor , most likely the detergent they use or dryer sheets. That happens to be a pet peeve of ours and we will learn to ask ahead. Most everything else I would say was made up of inexpensive repairs and cheap furniture. Par for the price I would say.
