Hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were pleasant and friendly. The rating would be higher if there weren’t construction on the main road in front of the hotel and limited parking. I assume this will change when construction is finished.

Due to no control of motel, new highway construction out front made it a bit of a squeeze and new construction next door also added to noise. Staff was most excellent, very friendly and accommodating. Older motel yet served our needs.
