This is pretty much a place construction workers stay at. Unfortunately there was an altercation going on with someone clearly not in a normal state of mind trying to get a room for his buddy and a couple young ladies so he started trashing the front entrance. The young fellow that was representing the motel locked the door and called the police I found it entertaining but most would probably not be comfortable with this

Needs a redo badly. Pretty clean but for the mould around the tub. Old furniture, and room needs paint all over.

Budget stay

This is a budget motel. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but the facility could use a major renovation. The price was right for a one night stay. Be aware, there are no frills. There was only one cup for the coffee maker in the room.

Inexpensive for a reason

The price was good but reflected in the overall condition of the room. There was a stale cigarrette smell, and the room was only moderately clean. There was trash and cigarette butts on the ground at the entrance.

40$ charge for two kids. 2 adults, 2 kids in a two double bed room with a pullout couch. Extra charge but had only two towels. Pullout couch bedding was filthy and needed me to ask to change. When cooking originally said kitchenette. There was only a microwave and mini fridge.
