Motor lodge with clean rooms

This is a 1960’s type of motor lodge and could use updating, but it was clean and everything worked. The manager was very friendly. I would stay there again.

This is a place that I'd consider again. It was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly as well. The rooms are in need of updating, but it appears that they work hard to maintain them.
