It's okay for a quick overnight stay. Adam was very friendly at check-in and when we did not like the first room we got, he gladly gave us another which was definitely satisfactory.

Parking was easy and in a convenient location. Slept very well due to the nice quality sheets. They offered lots of hot water for our shower with nice fluffy towels. Very clean Hotel on the inside outside could use a little TLC as far as sprucing up the paint. Overall great stay

Clean bed, decent sized room. Couch was worn out and had sand on it. Staff was friendly and helpful, really appreciated that. Overall, it's typical of the America's Best Value brand. Not great, but typically cheaper.

The rooms are OK, nothing special. The have a decent fridge. We stayed one night and it was constant noise from the other rooms, we didn't get any sleep. We've stayed here twice thinking the noise the first time was a fluke but we were wrong!

Older motel, but always clean and comfortable. Pet friendly which I love! Indoor pool is great, wish the hot tub was up and running. If you don’t mind older furnishings and no continental breakfast this might be for you. BK and gas station across the street. Good base if hunting or fishing in the area.
