For the price point, it’s difficult to speak too poorly of this motel, but there was a noticeable musty smell in my room, which was fairly unpleasant. It wasn’t mold, but it smelled like the AC filter hadn’t been changed in ages. Beyond that, the room could have been in better shape. There was a broken lampshade in mine.

The bed was comfortable. The a/c just blew to the closet. The parking was awful, came back after dinner and cars, trucks were everywhere and anywhere they could sqeeze in. I had a paid room but no where to park. I would recommend assigned oarking for room!

The staff were great. The only negative thing I can say is the room is older looking than I expected. The walls need to be painted the bathroom is in much need of renovation. The walls had mold and it smelled of mold. We could not open the bathroom window because there was no screen.

Reviews and property signage indicated rooms had been renovated. I did not find that to be the case at all in the room I occupied. Carpet was dated and stained in a couple places. Room smelled musty. Had to get a room deodorizer from staff. Bathroom had shower tile from the 70's. Bathroom needed some paint as door jambs and lighting switches all were apparently greased stained. AC unit was old and continuously cycled on and off all night. Refrigerator and microwave did look new. It was a last-minute choice, and you get what you pay for in those instances. Because of limited availability in the town the price was increased substantially from the normal rack rate from what I saw online. Owner was nice in the minimal contact I had with him. Would be hard pressed to recommend this property.

Excellent older motel that is well taken care off. Super quite. The ONLY recommendation is to install anti-slip decals in bathtub. As a 83 year old, I had to be extremely careful not to fall.
