Clean and comfortable.
This place is clean and everything worked as it should. It’s not fancy, but it is inexpensive and serviceable. Just right for what I needed.

Staff was great! Older motel, clean. Great if you just need a simple place to sleep. Definitely not a luxury resort but very good for the price. I would definitely stay again.
