The room was clean, the bathroom was clean. The desk was a nice feature. Since we were a couple, we missed one conditioning shampoo. The pillows were a little lumpy, but it was in our price range and it was adequate for our needs for an overnight stay.

Room was clean and desk clerk was friendly. This hotel is just old and has not been updated in a very long time. No overhead light or lamps. There were three strip of lights glued to the wall, only two of them worked. Bath tub was peeling. Shower did not have a shower head, was just a hrs stream of water. The mattresses must have been a decade old. It was fine for a night, if we’d had to stay longer I would have changed hotels.

We'll be back!
Nice, comfy old-school motel. Super clean, very comfortable beds with crisp sheets. Awesome pillows. It's clear that the owners are continuing to make upgrades here and there. The only thing that did not go well was my inability to get some computer work done, as the Wi-Fi would not stay connected. I don't know if it had anything to do with the fact that we were in one of the rooms toward the rear of the property (Room 23). Other than that, we were very pleased with out stay, and we look forward to staying here again.

As others have said, very clean simple accommodations. Dated but that’s not a concern as the bed was comfortable and shower hot. Would stay again, budget friendly and good service!
