This is a 1960’s type of motor lodge and could use updating, but it was clean and everything worked. The manager was very friendly. I would stay there again.

This is a place that I'd consider again. It was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly as well. The rooms are in need of updating, but it appears that they work hard to maintain them.

I had a comfortable stay and the bed was great. Property and room were dated, but a very good stay.
Outdated but very clean. Comfortable beds. Safe area Walls are a little thin. I could hear the people talking in the next room but I just turned on some white noise and slept comfortably. I would definitely stay here again.
