The room was clean. One sheet had a small tear. Things appear either worn or newly updated. It was much quieter than anticipated and on a Saturday night. I was surprised about the $100 refundable deposit. Overall, a good place to rest.

Old just like the other motels in the area

Family run motel. The family was very nice. Definitely an older building. They have done some remodeling inside the rooms without changing the layout. Very old buildings, bathrooms and stairs. On a very busy road that is loud all night long.

The property was generally clean and it was fine for our purposes, but the area is shady. All the corners surrounding the property are filled with prostitutes.
