This is a very basic older motel. The room was clean and simple. The exterior needs work. The lawn was 8-10 inches high and unmowed, making me hesitant when I drove up. I like independent local places. This one could be much nicer.

The Property is REALLY old, reminded me more of a row of barricks housing. Interior of the room also REALLY old and I could not figure out what was on top of the bed? It sure wasn’t a duvet but it wasn’t a bed spread either? All I know is that I did not want it near my skin. The place was just bleek. Considering the room rate, I was sorely disappointed. Buyer beware.
