No service of the amenities when we went on a day trip and arrived back around 9pn. Room had not been serviced. No fresh towels. No fresh coffee, tea, milk etc Pretty poor response from the counter when I bought it to their attention. $200 per night for a 6 person stay and no servicing. Not likely I'll be recommending the motel to anyone or be staying there again.

The location was convenient. The free wifi and air conditioning were good. We had raw chicken from the previous guest left in the fridge in our room, and there was both live and dead cockroaches in the room.

Still producing the goods after all these years

This motel has been here for many years (I've stayed there over a decade ago). Good, basic, functioning motel. The staff are good & there's the usual range of stuff in the room. The only downside was a smell in the bathroom (which may have been coming from outside) that was there when i first arrived, but dissipated over the next few hours.
