The online listing does not portray the location. Busy street in a commercial area. Property is not very attractive. To be fair, owners were very nice and the room was clean. Just be aware, this a motel in the old sense.

It is noisy around the local property due to infrastructure and or businesses even late in the evening. For somebody that is a relatively light sleeper, and even though I was far away from my door, it was still noisy.

The motel is very outdated and shows its age. The pool area looked sad and unkept. The 1st room we got was old. The furniture was worn and the room wasn't cleaned properly. We found a dead bug. I complained and instead of accommodating my request, the manager started to argue with me. There was another guest who had issues with his 1st room. He was given another room and complained that the linens weren't changed. He found dirt in his bed. I would highly recommend staying somewhere else.

A little underwhelming, but decent value. Not fancy, but some Reno’s were done. The deadbolt was removed, which was a little unsettling in a motel. It was fine.

Disappointing

The room was very run down and in need of repair. The floor was lifting. The desk chair was broken and I actually fell onto the floor.
