Room was fabulous. Very clean and bed was great. Bathroom was clean and shower good/ hot water great. Needs a shelf or some type of station in shower to hold soap/shampoo and conditioner off of floor. Room comes with a coffee maker but didn't come with coffee or coffee cups. Minor things but it would be helpful to the traveler.

It’s important to have low expectations; it was clean, the price was right, it’s right on the road, so it’s noisy! You get what you pay for!

The room was clean and comfortable, but it was a bit over priced. For the price they should offer some kind of breakfast. The staff was excellent and very friendly. They changed our room from the second floor to the first floor upon request and we mistakenly left our computer at the motel, someone found it and returned it to the office and they kept it safe until we could return and pick it up.

There was a problem in the area that knocked out the electricity. Wasn't really able to enjoy ourselves, not a fault of the motel. Was thankful that the windows opened so we could get fresh air as we slept.
