We were led to believe that the rooms had recently been upgraded through online pictures. However, that was not the case. The rooms were dated but clean, spacious, brand new frig. For the price it was ok for a night as we were pasding through.

It's an old motel, but they're renovating well with new bathroom faucets and the walls painted nicely. The next to do will be the bathtub and caulking. It's only 10 rooms split on 2 floors. Staff was very helpful when I could figure out how to open the door. Wifi Internet was the best ever here compared to more known brands during my 4-5 week trip.

The floor was filthy, the furniture was mismatched and in poor condition, Many things were in disrepair or poor general condition. It was cheap, and as a last-minute option, it worked. I wouldn't plan to stay here.

Stay anywhere else. He’ll rip you off and lie about what he’s charging. Expedia support won’t help either and tell you to speak with him but that’s their job to sort it out when you’re being overcharged. Very disappointing and left early next morning to get out of there.
