Don’t be fooled by the photos and ratings. This is a classic old time roadside recently painted but un-renovated motel. Okay if you are economising and just want a bed. Bedding and room were clean but the beds were not comfortable unless you like them really hard. Great water pressure and lovely hot shower.
