It was a place to sleep, not much for TV to relax as I fell asleep. Shower took forever to figure out as part of the mechanism was broken, very little hot water. The room was clean but the air circulation was very loud. Restaurant was excellent close by.

Difficulties finding out the motel office was in the gas station, very busy place.Very small parking lot for our cargo van,but we made it work with the help of 2 bikers. No room A/C but room was comfortable. Would like to suggest drop box for room keys. The gas station doesn't open until 7am and we desired to leave sooner.

The room looks like it has never been cleaned; the floor is sticky with grime, and the air conditioning can't be turned off or adjusted, so the room is freezing.
