Room was very basic but also very clean. I good choice if you just want a cheap, clean room for a night's sleep. The building and grounds are old and desperately in need of repairs, maintenance and upgrading.

The room is clean. It’s just an old hotel. The ice machine was broken cinderblock walls, but it it’s OK if you just need to sleep for the night and get going in the morning.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The room and bedding smelled of stale smoke. Although it was fairly clean, everything in the room was old and very worn out. The bed felt like a box springs rather than a mattress. But for the price and last minute accommodations, it was as good as a roadside motel could be.

This motel was a convenient stop, but I didn't realize it is next to a busy rail line. Six or seven trains passed through during the night. No amenities to speak of; no working A/C and a non-functional ice machine.
