The staff was very courteous and the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, this motel is quite old and rundown, with peeling paint, especially on exterior buildings. It does not look pleasing from the outside. Also, being an older building, the rooms are a bit small for king size beds. Overall we had a nice stay, just did not expect the facility to be so old.

Like that it was pet and smoke free. The little couple that own/manage the place were so cute and very pleasant. The room only had 1 working outlet which was ridiculous! It does look like they are trying to upgrade in some areas. There were a bunch of very large trucks in the parking lot that made it difficult to drive around. Exterior needs work as well. Probably would not stay there again.

Sadly, this motel has seen better days. It's in a rather frightful state of disrepair. Managers are nice people, but this just isn't up to even the lowest standards. Needs fundamental repairs and a refresh badly.

SKIP FOR SURE. NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Dirty. Found old food on the floor next to the table. We also found cockroaches. We were too tired to ask for another room. The room had an OVERWHELMING smell of freshner. This motel is soooooo NOT worth the money.

The motel is very old so could use a face lift. But it has everything you need and feels safe. Perfectly fine for a one nighter.
