This a budget motel and met that level. Bed was just ok for comfort. However it was clean and was what we needed. The owners could clean up the grounds to make it more appealing. Grass not mowed, trees and shrubs very overgrown.

Clean accommodations

Don’t let the exterior make you decide not to stay, the inside is much nicer. Bed was too soft for my liking. Bathroom was spotless which is most important in my opinion. Room was overall nice and clean. Fridge worked well. A/C worked well enough.

This hotel room was what I would call basic. It was clean and we had a good sleep. Some areas in the bathroom appeared to be missing a new coat of paint. Furniture was basic and old style.
