This was the perfect place for us to stay overnight. Great price and clean. It is an old style motel, and it has been refurbished and was excellent! The location was good with a few restaurants very close and a couple very new apartment complexes across the street. We will stay here again.

Great place for a bed and roof over your head. By no means bells and whistles, but for a quick place to lay your head, it was clean and staff was super polite.
