Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very worn and tired. The shower had black mold in the grout and caulk. One sinks water was yellow. Doorknob and latches were so smeared looking we used Kleenex to operate. Do not recommend.

The staff here are wonderful, friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the complimentary toiletries are very nice. The place needs quite a bit of updating in general but specifically in the rooms and hallways. It’s was a bit damp everywhere and you could smell it until we turned on the very old AC and then it dried it out. Oh and the phone and alarm clock in our room were basically just props and didn’t work and the carpets need some deep cleaning. The location is excellent and right across from the Village and conveniently next to a Diner and gas station as well as right off of 95. So that’s really the selling point of this Motel. I’m not sure if I would repeat a stay here though.
