It's a fine motel and it price accordingly. I could have left at 6:00 a.m. and went to McDonald's but I decided to wait till 7:00 and there still wasn't any breakfast at 7:10. No biggie but come on how hard is it to at least have some coffee out

The room was ok except for the fact that the heater filters have not been cleaned in a very long time, there was dust on the slim headboards and top of the TV. The carpeting was clean. Hair in the bathroom on top of the stool lid and in the bathtub which is terribly stained. Beds were comfortable. Good place to stay if you got dogs unless they bark at noises and traffic.
