Staff was great! Older motel, clean. Great if you just need a simple place to sleep. Definitely not a luxury resort but very good for the price. I would definitely stay again.

The room was clean, the bathroom was clean. The desk was a nice feature.
Since we were a couple, we missed one conditioning shampoo. The pillows were a little lumpy, but it was in our price range and it was adequate for our needs for an overnight stay.
