Chose this hotel as a place to spend the night that's close to where we were coming to see the local races. Place is a bit dated but it's very well kept and clean. The staff that owns the place is a couple that were on site. They were friendly and nice. Would recommend as a good place to lay your head for the night if you need a inexpensive place to stay.

It's an old motel, but it is clean, in good shape, and relatively quiet. And to top it off, the bed and pillows were really comfortable.
