Clean and accommodating. Not great dining in the area but it's an old style motel. I see a boutique motel in its future.

Liked: Cleanliness
A very surface clean suite in a convenient location. My only issues was the bathroom was musty as the bathtub taps were dripping and the fan was not working , as well as the microwave had a cracked door making me nervous to use it. The fridge was okay just had to turn it up and a glass left for use had a chip in it. I would stay again due to the location though.
