The room was just OK. Not enough to warrant the price tag. The room is a $60 room and they charged $120. While checking in the gentleman acted like he couldnt be bothered to answer any questions. Not very social or helpful. While checking out the young lady was nicer.

nice place

The motel was clean and people very nice and bed was comfy. Our only complaint is that the toilet was way too short! Hard to use actually. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
