The motel room was nicely equipped with a TV, refrigerator, microwave and well-stocked coffee maker. The room is clean and the woman who checked us in was very nice and helpful. It is a motel with parking located right in front of the rooms. The office to check-in is attached to the gas station store.

We only had a one night stay while on the road but found this place to be excellent. Rooms were large and comfy. The young man at check in was very friendly and helpful. There were a lot of places nearby including a Trader Joe’s and the price was extremely reasonable for the area. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely book this place again.

The room was very comfortable and the area didn’t feel dangerous or uncomfortable. It was a little bit confusing to figure out where to check in, but after that I had no problems. Some people don’t like that it was next to a gas station, but I thought it was really convenient!
