Paid online via Expedia. Get there and told room unavailable. After stating that I paid online and it’s in refundable I was givin a room. Outside there were kids ages 6-12 running around screaming until 1-2AM. This was a last minute stay, but will plan better so I won’t EVER get stuck in this rathole again!!

We were given an upgrade when we checked in which was appreciated. The front desk was very kind and helpful giving information. The room was clean and smelled very clean. This is a motor lodge and very close to the highway. As such, I suggest bringing earplugs for the noise if that bothers you. The bed was comfortable. This is a no frills motel, so don't expect perfection. For the price, it was worth the one night stay.

On my first night the water pressure was barely a trickle. But, it was fine the next day. Wifi however was non-existent. I couldn't use it at all. But the room space and set up in and of itself was wonderful.

Lovely little motel

Check in was a breeze. I was asked if there was anything else I needed. When I made a request, it was handled immediately. The room was very clean. There was no smoke smell in the room. Nobody smoking anything in the vicinity. Plenty of parking. The room had a huge handicap accessible bathroom. Plenty of room for a wheelchair straight into the shower. Showerhead was removable for someone in a wheelchair. It was very quiet. Bed was comfortable. The only thing I would suggest is a printed channel guide. I will stay there again when I'm in the area.
