This is not a bad hotel, the comforter on the bed takes you bad to the 80s so it has that nostalgic charm, but the place is very clean and rooms are in a great renovate condition new paint, and so on. Bathrooms are nice and big and clean as well. dont let the exterior of this place fool you, for a motor inn, it is 8.5/10

It's an old motel, but it is clean, in good shape, and relatively quiet. And to top it off, the bed and pillows were really comfortable.

The rooms were very clean and the owners very friendly. The Queen bed was comfortable but the king was a bit stiff and springy. Could use a mattress topper.

They said the door "is a little sticky". No, it’s a big problem. Every time opening and closing the door was a major hassle.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
