You get what you pay for. My husband and I love we have a place to crash for a night or two. It has clean comfortable rooms and beds. We have stayed a few times and will probably stay again. My only criticism is they advertise continental breakfast, which I don’t expect much but coffee is a must. Even after I told the employee the machine was out of coffee it wasn’t filled.

The people working at the motel were friendly and tried to help but motel maintenance definitely an issue. When we arrived, the key would not unlock the door. After they attempted other keys and other rooms, finally got into a room. The room was clean and ok, but in the morning realized even though the door was closed and seemed to lock, it was not locked. The window also would not lock.

It was very basic, but it was clean, everything worked and the staff was pleasant. The shower was hot, the cable worked and place was quiet. But just to repeat, it's basic. It's good for a place to crash for the night and then head off to where ever your going. Would stay there again if in the area.
