This property is an old school motel. They keep this property while maintained, and while there is some issues, it is an older property, but for the price and the location and the amenities it can’t be beat for the area. I would definitely stay here again

Affordable, clean, nice pool, comfortable bed. All staff are helpful. The shower was tiny, the lighting over the stove and sink didn't work, and there was only one outlet in the bedroom. It needs fresh paint and upgrading.
