Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The ease of check-in was nice after a long drive. The room was clean, simple, no frills and exactly what was needed for a shower and some sleep. Very quiet until the neighbor enters their room, then you realize the walls are kind of thin. Fortunately, the noise didn't last long. Bathroom was clean. Being your own toiletries as a small shower bar and a sample pack of conditioning shampoo is all that is provided. I would stay here again if I'm needing an affordable spot. Enjoyable nights stay for a last minute trip. Thank you!!

Staff was great! Older motel, clean. Great if you just need a simple place to sleep. Definitely not a luxury resort but very good for the price. I would definitely stay again.
