Old motel in poor condition. Very noisy from traffic and AC. Apparently no way to control the temperature other than turning the AC on and off. The bed was comfortable.

Nice Little Place

It was perfect, the AC was cold and the water was hot for showers. Its a bit older place but I would stay there again every time I was in town and it was clean and tidy. The prices are fair too! Lots of food choices nearby and anything else you may need. Has a microwave and a fridge too ! Flat Screen TV with a ton of channels FYI

It was a good property for the money, but it's very old and very small. The carpet smelled very musty. The room was very clean and that is the most important thing for which I look on a stay.
