We stayed her for an event and it was close to town just what we needed. The property is older and could use some updating, but it was clean the bed was comfortable and the rooms a very large. I didn't hear the neighbors or doors closing all night like most chain hotels. We parked right in front of our window and had no issues with anything.

Old but clean

The people who operate the motel were super nice. They respond quickly. They are more than willing to help. The motel is dated but quiet and comfortable. The problem was with the bathroom. The toilet was right beside the wall. The tub was slippery. My husband fell. Dangerous for us as an older couple. Otherwise a nice stay.

Large, clean, affordable room. While clearly an older facility based on decor and furnishings it did NOT have the tell tale smell of similarly old places. Easy access parking. Would stay again.

This is an older property with older furnishings but I just loved the vibe. Had kind of a retro 1950s throwback feel. Room was very spacious and good value for the money. Really enjoyed my stay.
