This motel was just ok. I was surprised the room wasn’t cleaned daily like most motels, we stayed 5 night and had to ask for fresh towels and more toilet paper. The fridge was set to such a high temperature it froze all our food ruining everything. The bathroom didn’t have a fan, which meant the room fogged up each time we had a shower. I would not stay here again.

Great Value and Warm Hospitality! I had a great stay at this motel! It's an excellent value for the price — clean, comfortable, and everything worked just as expected. What really stood out to me was the receptionist. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in a breeze and offering helpful local tips. It’s the kind of personal touch that makes a big difference. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for affordable, friendly accommodation.
