Comfy, clean, accordable.

We weren't looking for frills, just wanted an economical, clean room and a good nights sleep, which we had, the beds were very comfortable. The place was busy, but quiet. I would stay there again.

Allthough it is an older motel, its freshly painted and in good repair. Very clean. The bathroom has a modern sink, but only a shower stall. The tv is a bit small but has is sufficent. Table is also small but was just fine for my wie and i. Its a great value for a budget motel. I would gladly return.

Perfect place to stay if you are just passing thru. Clean but small room. Dated decor and look to it. Small room if you are planning to spend a significant amount of time in it.
