Not good at all

Not the greatest place. Not clean at all. Floors dirty, chairs and furniture in room filthy. Towels were very thread bare. I would not recommend this Motel.

The clerk couldn't find my reservation. I had to look up my confirmation email and show it too her so she knew how much to charge. The back stair case is uneven and unstable. And they don't have an ice machine. The staff were friendly and the room was clean.

Generally good choice!

The room is spacious and very clean. It's very quiet at night. The staff is very friendly. The only thing I complained is the slow wifi.
