It is a motel and the room is rather dated. The carpeting needs to be replaced the doors need a security update with better lock and sturdier doors. It’s odd that checking into the hotel office also doubles as a store that sells beer by six packs or single cans. The included breakfast was either a muffin or a bagel and a cup of juice delivered to your door. Along with your choice of coffee or tea. I am just passing through for one night so it’s all right for me.

Good!

The staff was very friendly and the stay was good for the money it is listed at. My only gripe, which had nothing to do with the business at all, is there was a dog barking all night in the room next to us. The staff was very apologetic and supported us. Which we dearly appreciated!

Front desks guy's got a pit bull that he let's jump up on guests and isn't leashed or muzzled. I fell unsafe and was extremely anxious. He did nothing but make excuses. Won't use this place again!
