The Gentleman who checked me in was very nice, efficient, and helped me with suggestions on where to eat. The room was clean, with a coffee maker, coffee, microwave, and refrigerator. The AC unit was too small for the room and did not cool the room down for hours. The ceiling fan helped. Only one nightstand, and it had no lamp. There were no plug-ins near the bed. The lights on the desk and ceiling were very dim, so the room was pretty dark. No kleenex. The room was quiet. The TV (although smalk) worked well. Lots of channels but no HBO or other movie channels. Convenient parking right outside the room.

Overall very happy with our stay. We came in only for one night. Room rate was reasonable. Room was clean and air conditioner worked great. It is an older motel, but kept up and felt safe. Would stay here again.

Hot room

It was a 95°+ day, we traveled all day and when we got to the room, the air conditioning hadn’t been turned on and it was so small it took almost all night to cool off. It was a terrible night stay.

Nice enough for budget stay, still too high in $

Friendly and clean - okay for budget stay but should be about $30 lower in rate for what you get. The overwhelming perfume, likely from carpet deodorant, is hard to take. They've done a good job with cleaning, a high spot for them, but other things take away from that such as broken door chain/hoop lock; cuts in curtains; peeling paint throughout room ceiling; carpet (needs replacing with linoleum), and; many other things like almost transparent towels and unattractive elements of the room including almost no light. I'd stay at again at lower rate but my wife would not (and she isn't overly picky.)

This is a very old motel. 1950’s style. Door lock was loose on frame. Not secure. Room A/C was not on. Room warm.

The hotel for what it is was just fine. I kind of enjoyed the horns of the train going by in the middle of the night, really, I'm serious! Reminds me of home...if you're looking for a Hilton then go to a Hilton

The room was dark with one dim overhead bulb. There was hair in the sheets. The bathroom door would not shut and the area with the coffee pot was so dark i had to get a flashlight.
