Old style motel, they even use the old physical key. Room was clean, nice bed and more quieter than i thought it would be. The 2 lady night clerks were friendly and informative. Only negative for the room was the light that came in from around the curtains. Other than that it's an old room. That has been mostly updated. Breakfast was better than most other nicer hotels. Price was decent, got a good sleep with a good breakfast. It's just know it's not luxury hotel and you will be ok. We would stay there again.

Liked: Staff & service
The room we stayed in was badly in need of remodeling. The carpet was old and the box springs under the bed were stained. The toilet didn't flush well. The overall impression was that it was and old and tired hotel. The room smelled clean and not musty at least. The staff member we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. With some remodeling and upgrades it could be a much nicer hotel.
