This was a nice place to stay for a couple of nights as we explored around the area. We knew there was not a breakfast provided which was fine. We planned ahead.

This a budget motel and met that level. Bed was just ok for comfort. However it was clean and was what we needed. The owners could clean up the grounds to make it more appealing. Grass not mowed, trees and shrubs very overgrown.

We had an excellent experience here, even when our take out was delivered without utensils and plates the manager didn't hesitate to supply us with everything. Definitely recommended

Clean accommodations

Don’t let the exterior make you decide not to stay, the inside is much nicer. Bed was too soft for my liking. Bathroom was spotless which is most important in my opinion. Room was overall nice and clean. Fridge worked well. A/C worked well enough.
