I like that the owner was on the property. This is an older motel. But it was very very clean. We always check the rooms. It was nice to have a slider door with a patio outside. I plan to stay at this motel again. Clean and affordable.

Everything was pretty clean in our room other than a dirty broom left inside and a couple spiders hanging out by the tub. Other than that everything was very clean, staff was very nice and understanding, and the hotel was quiet. It was very peaceful.

Old and outdated. Only the minimum amount of upkeep. Had cable, yet the bare minimum of the channels were enabled. A/C worked but if you change a setting it would stop.
