Generally clean and recently remodeled-seems to be more for working people needing weekly or longer lodgings. They had a stove, microwave, fridge and coffee maker with the cups still with old coffee stains. No elevator. No breakfast.

Cute little motel

Super cute outside! Clean room, dated. TV took a bit to get set up. Fridge was good. Sleep was not the best. We had noisy late night guests above us until about 2:30. A train came by overnight and honked twice. The road noise settles down late.

Walked in and although it looked clean there was a pungent odor in the room. Black mold see on ceiling and around shower. Nice king bed but terrible mattress. TOO soft and the wife and I kept rolling to the center.
