Great location for us and very nice people running the Motel. Very helpful. Hotel room door is old and does not seal around the bottom so critters, noise and weather can get in. Also the pool area needs upkeep. But it was good price and conveniently located.

The room was clean enough. I was disappointed in the pool area. It was not particularly inviting to go in for a swim but not a big deal. It’s a plain and simple motel if you need somewhere to stay for the night. You’re not getting Big 4 or Discovery quality but it was clean.
