The property is a bit dated. However, it was very clean, safe, modern TV, comfortable bed, clean linens, easy to get to, and good service. It was well worth the price and would recommend if you don’t mind an older motel. The only negatives were no elevator (we were on the top third floor) and toilet paper was in the door peep hole.

Easy check-in, friendly staff. Good sized room with an "old timey" feel right down to the rotary phone, but still had the fridge/microwave for convenience. Definitely more value than expected.

It was alright. The clock in the room didn’t work, and probably hadn’t for a while, showing a lack of close attention to the little things that make a hotel room impress you.
