It looks a little rough on the outside, but the room is really comfortable. The bed is awesome, much better than you expect from a motel. Wifi works great. And the couple who run it are very sweet.

This is an older hotel property. The owners have put a lot of work and money into making this a very nice place to stay. Very nice shower products. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and clean. Split unit A/C made the room very quiet. New flooring and tile made the interior very pleasant. The care the owners have for the property is very evident. They were pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend this property.

The pictures online looked way better than the property actually looked. It is quite old. The room was clean. The person who checked us in was very nice. The WiFi was virtually useless. The place wasn’t terrible, but I wouldn’t stay there again.
