I did not try their breakfast Older hotel. I thought the cleanness was ok for an older hotel. The beds were not the best for me. I thought the cost was to high for the condition of the hotel, but it is the only hotel in the town so you are kind of stuck

It was okay. For the price I was expecting a little more. It was clean, just very outdated and pool area appeared to be falling apart. Served its purpose for a quick overnight baseball trip.

The drive way to the motel is hard to find and has potholes in it. The room was clean, although the blanket on the bed had a burn hole in it and the sheet was worn very thin. The refrigerator worked fine, along with the air conditioner and microwave. There were no safety bars for the bathtub/shower. It was very quiet and staff was friendly. Breakfast was minimal and not diabetic friendly.
