Room was very clean and location was great fo us. Walking to restaurants and right off interstate. Older motel, no frills. We had no complaints but if you are wanting luxury, you probably wont like this. Shower had plenty of hot water and bed was comfortable which was all we needed for a 1 night stay while traveling.

Room definitely needed upgrading. Think they're in the process of remodeling the rooms so hopefully they'll get the face-lift they need. We had to unplug the refrigerator since the motor noise was obnoxious. Eggs and sausage at breakfast were both cold -we were disappointed. The mattress was comfortable. We got a good night's rest. They are pet-friendly which was a positive for us.

Staff was friendly, room was clean, bed was very old and uncomfortable. A loud pick up truck started right outside my door at 5:30 and fumes smoked me out. Not a pleasant stay.
