This is an older Motel. The lobby was clean and our room was warm and clean. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. There was a bathtub with lots of hot water. The room also had a coffee machine and coffee. There was also a microwave and fridge that we did not use. TV and Wifi worked well. Breakfast was more then expected. Great restaurant across the highway. We would stay here again.

The room was all right , clean. The over all impression I got after finding out the restaurant Connected was closed and the laundromat closed as well, was this place is struggling. Would personally rate it a 4/10. Vending machines are empty and no ice buckets . We booked thing we had a room with a table and chairs outside but we were inside at the end of an old dark hallway. Needs some definite loving and maybe a few updates.

So we were just here for one night. It seems fairly clean but since there are stains it “feels” dirty. The bed was comfortable. There were soaps and shampoo, a fridge and decent sized tv. The whole place needs updated but it also wasn’t horrible if you keep in mind that it’s just old. It was just ok but the price was right.
