WARNING!!!!

Worst Motel Experience Ever – Avoid at All Costs! If I could give zero stars, I would. This place is a complete disaster from top to bottom. The manager was shockingly rude, dismissive, condescending, and completely uninterested in addressing any of the concerns we raised. It felt like we were bothering him by simply existing. But the most disturbing part? There was an unmarked door leading directly into our room from somewhere. No bolt, no deadlock, nothing to secure it from our side. We asked about it, and the manager waved it off like it was normal. Sorry, but an unsecured random door in a motel room is a huge red flag for safety. We asked for a refund immediately due to our concerns and were told that wouldn’t happen and that WE were being rude. Trust me: pay the extra money and go somewhere else. This place should be shut down.

A basic overnight stay.

Nice place when you don't want to spend a lot of money. Good for a single individual or a couple. If you don't want extras, this is the place to go.

There is a great Thai take out restaurant on the property. The motel has security cameras watching entrances, exits, and hallways. That's good and helped us feel a little safer. The access doors are left open, I guess for the breeze, or perhaps to assuage the pervasive smell of tobacco. The door to our room didn't seem snug enough and I could see light all round the frame from the hallway when the door is closed. I thought one good kick would likely open it easily. I told the clerk on duty about a man sitting and smoking in a running car, door open. The man was there in the evening when I took my dog out, and again in the morning. Although the motel is non smoking, I think the aged carpets from yesteryear retain all the stench of the prior days when smoking was allowed. Positives are the polite and friendly staff, the security cameras and the local Thai restaurant.

It was close to where I needed to be be. Wifi was intermittent and tv had limited channels as soeme seemed to be frozen. It appeared to be a selter for homeless and not as pictured on website. While it provided a place for us for the money not what I expected.
