Place was great for the price! They had a huge TV, which was fun because we had just been tent camping. Nice amenities, including coffee in the room. Bed was comfortable, and enormous if you like that. It seemed large even for a king. Maybe it was because of that little tent the night before!

Good on a budget

Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfy. The room did get a little warm as I couldn't seem to locate an A/C. Check in was easy. The town does not have many food options.

There are no staff at this location but self check in wasn’t a problem. The rooms smelled like stale cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. I reserved for a family of 5 and there weren’t enough bath towels. Would I stay here again - no.

Room was nice and bed comfortable. But in morning the whole place had no water at all. I understand it was not their fault but what could have been better was the reach out to the guests. I had already left when I got notice from the motel about another shower option. They were too slow in this aspect.

Simple, clean, comfortable bed and price right. It is an older motel. The a/c looked broken and like an insect entrance, with broken panels. Maybe they rewired it?? Overall happy with the ease and pricing, it met our needs for an overnight stay
