This is an older property. New A/C units at every room. Worked well in my room. Across the street is a Denny's Resto. Bed was comfortable. I wanted a motel so I could park my motorcycle in front of room, so it worked out well. Given current prices of hotels/motels, I suppose this was not bad at the given price point.
