Ok if on a budget and need dog friendly.
Extremely dated kitchen and furniture, downstairs bathroom you could not close the door with out hitting knees if you were sitting on the toilet (I’m only 5’8”) carpet had holes in it going up the steps. Downstairs subfloor needs work as there are a few uneven areas.

Best location
We love this motel. It great for a one night getaway. The rooms are updated, beds are comfortable and there is a lite breakfast in the lobby. Sits on the river, beautiful views, two block walk to restaurants, shops and bars.
