My stay was very pleasant. The motel staff was really friendly and helpful and I checked in with ease. The room was clean and well maintained. I would definitely come here again.
Room was very basic but also very clean.
I good choice if you just want a cheap, clean room
for a night's sleep.
The building and grounds are old and desperately in need of
repairs, maintenance and upgrading.

Staff very friendly. Property a little run down. Cosmetically, could've been improved. However, if you were looking for a clean room and a comfortable bed to spend the night, it was ve
ry good.

The staff was great! Very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The building itself is dated but everything had been updated and worked perfectly.
The room is clean. It’s just an old hotel. The ice machine was broken cinderblock walls, but it it’s OK if you just need to sleep for the night and get going in the morning.

The room and bedding smelled of stale smoke. Although it was fairly clean, everything in the room was old and very worn out. The bed felt like a box springs rather than a mattress. But for the price and last minute accommodations, it was as good as a roadside motel could be.
Good place to stay we will definitely stay here again.

This motel was a convenient stop, but I didn't realize it is next to a busy rail line. Six or seven trains passed through during the night. No amenities to speak of; no working A/C and a non-functional ice machine.
The room was fine enough to stay in as you traveled through. There was not enough plug-ins to recharge things nor were there any in the bathroom. There was not a vent fan for the bathroom either. There was a bit of a smell, but tolerable. There was not a coffee maker in the room, but there was instant coffee in the office, but they were not open early.
