It was pouring rain when I got in, and the person at the front desk gave me a key to the unit I'd parked in front of. The air conditioning was out due to the weather, which he informed me of and let me decide if I wanted to find a new hotel. The room was clean, though there weren't very many outlets, and the only one near the bed was too loose and nothing would stay plugged in...

Liked: Cleanliness

Okay, but not the greatest. Nostalgic mostly. Okay

Older motel, was nice at one time. Mattresses were hard and cheap but new I guess. Was clean. No towels or other amenities. Had to ask. Next to busy train tracks. Sink faucets dripped 2 levels, dripping or full blast. Price was good.

Trying to stay positive

Disappointing but cheap and clean. A/ C super noisy but worked. Fridge had no working cord to plug in. No ice machine available. Remote for tv did not work. Clerk insisted I pay cash instead of card. Checked in just before 5 pm. Left at 3 am the next morning due to overall experience (disappointing). I liked the bed. It was comfy! My dog did not seem to mind the negatives!

Very basic but safe and cheap

This motel is vintage. Clean, mostly functional (one light fixture in my room was broken), safe, cheap place to sleep. Mattress was lumpy but I slept just fine. If you expect more pick another spot.
