This was my third time staying here and it's been great each time. Friendly staff, very clean. Comfortable beds, cold air conditioning. The fridge and microwave worked fine. It's kind of off the beaten path a little bit which is one of my favorite things about it. Very quiet and peaceful location.

The beds were horrible, like sleeping on a flat air mattress. Needed paint because it was an old smoking room. The shower plumbing was opposite, the door was horribly bent. In the morning @ 7am coffee was ready but @ 7:40am it was gone. A major downer.

The motel was dated, not as clean as it should have been and as one of the most expensive rooms we got on our trip, it would rate at the bottom for value.
