The motel is affordable. It’s definitely not a luxury place. If you want to pay less and at least have a decent fairly good room. This works. Some dust bunnies and it’s not new equipment but everything worked fine.

This motel was nice and clean.. Check-in and check out were seamless. It is false advertising for the breakfast and the Egyptian cotton bedding lol..but I wasn't expecting much. The "breakfast" is Little Debbie snack ckes but the coffee is delicious. I would definitely stay here again.
