The room was very clean. We were able to park right outside our room, which was very convenient. The amenities were very basic (two small bars of soap and small packet of shampoo/conditioner). The king size bed was comfortable. All towels and bed linens were clean. The owner, who was working behind the desk, was very pleasant and accommodating. We would definitely stay at this motel again.
