Nothing flashy, but a clean room at a reasonable price. Several good restaurants within walking distance, but I wouldn’t leave the property after dark. Neighborhood was a little sketch.

The motel has an older vibe, with smaller rooms and a compact layout. We spent most of our time out and about and only needed the room for sleeping, showering, and getting ready. If we had needed to spend more time in the room, it would have felt too cramped for us. On the plus side, the room included a refrigerator and microwave, and they offered a continental breakfast.gerator and microwave, and they offered a continental breakfast.

This place was clean overall but the floors. The floors were still dirty and there was hair all over. Another issue is the water. The water seems to not work as the water would stay cold during showers and from the sink; It would get warm at times but wouldn’t stay warm for long.
