This motel was a nice place to stay. It was in a great location and close to food and coffee. We had a double queen bed room. One of the beds wasn’t so great but for the price of the room we were very happy with it. Our room came with a fridge, which was helpful. We felt our stay was enjoyable. There was a laundry facility, ice machine, and a vending machine. We will definitely stay here again.

The bed in room 116 was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. The bed was painfully stiff and felt as if I was sleeping on a box spring, not a mattress. The room was smaller than I expected, but was acceptable overall. There was rust in the shower, but beyond that the room was clean and well kept.

Minimal contact with staff or other guests. Whenever I talked to somebody, they referred me to Expedia. The only receipt I eventually got stated "prepaid", no amount. On the second night there was a lot of commotion upstairs. I did not feel safe enough to leave my room to ask for assistance.
