This is your typical motel room: no frills, just adequate which was what we wanted The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was surprisingly no road noise. Check in was easy and the hotel owner was very solicitous.

This is a no frills motel, which is fine. But it's weird that there were only three pillows in a king bed and only two towels for two guests. Space was clean and parking was fine but overall vibe was def on the spartan side.

Midweek stay: larger room with plenty of room for suitcases. Economical price. Friendly check-in. Good water pressure. Cons: 3 teens and/or early 20s men hanging out in parking lot for hours laughing, slamming doors, and more which made it impossible to sleep.
