Staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. Motel is a bit dated and doesn't have the best lighting but appears its under new ownership thst are trying to update and modernize the building.. Not many amenities but location. Is good and the area is a quiet and close enough to travel.

As 2 women traveling, we were a bit hesitant after seeing the lobby. The check-in counter is behind plexiglass, and the decor is pretty dated. There are smoking rooms in the hotel so there is a smell throughout. However we were content with our room. It was clean enough and quiet. The air conditioner was old but worked. Honestly, no complaints. It was located conveniently for our event. We got what we paid for in a totally acceptable way 🙂

The staff were so nice! The rooms and bathroom were so clean. The building is a little older but everything was in good shape. Free WiFi use and the air conditioner worked perfectly. The price was also fair. It was 90 dollars and a 50 dollar deposit fee but you get the 50 dollars back in your account after 5 days.

The building is showing it's wear and age, but the room was decent. You could tell the room had been renovated. Price and location worked for us.
