I found this motel to be good value for money. My room was clean and to my liking. Even though it was located on a main road, I found my room to be quiet and I hardly heard any noise from either the traffic or from other guests. I would stay here again.

2 Star Motel

Not trying to bag on this place, but it is kind of a dump. If it fits your budget, then there’s nothing wrong with it. I had a family of five, it just didn’t meet our needs. More than one night here and my wife would file divorce…..
