Only stayed 2 nights. The 1st room they gave me was like something out of Psycho movie. Bathroom waa falling apart and dirty. Lamps with bulbs and no shades. Wood floors that were uneven. After complaining they said any room you want..we give you best room..etc. i needed a place to stay and the room was unmmm barely tolerable but as i was only goung to be there to crash at night and leave early in the AM i decided to grin and bear it. It says AC but it is old window AC units that barely function. Beds hard as a rock. Limited to no lighting in room. Honestly do yourself a favor and don't even consider staying here. People were friendly as they could be but that doesn't make up for the condition of the motel.

Things were generally okay considering it’s a low cost motel. The couple at the front desk were very friendly. Only criticism I could offer was that the two bars of soap in the shower looked as if a mouse had taken a bite out if them. No complaints about our stay otherwise.
