Surprisingly happy with stay!

I was hesitant because the outside looks kind of rough, but the inside of the motel room was very clean and the bathroom was nicely updated. Comfortable beds, and the family that runs the motel were very friendly!

Better than expected

We needed a quick place to stay for the football game and this place was so much cheaper than other places around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The mattress was a little firmer than i prefer, but im not complaining. I would stay again!

This room was clean and the staff was nice but the room was way over priced, bathroom door didn't close and the only amenities was the coffee in the room. For the price of the room they should provide a good breakfast. Again over priced for what you get. We are at a Best Western as of this writing for less of a price and they serve a hot breakfast in the morning, also a much bigger and comfortable room.
