8/10

The hotel is very clean, updated with modern fixtures (excellent shower!), comfortable bed and the manager is very helpful. The rooms are smaller, as was customary when it was built, but this is one of the best remodels I've ever seen of motels from that era. Also, a huge TV! The heater/air conditioner is loud, but if you can get past that, you'll have a clean, pleasant and affordable stay.
