Just went down for the night and this was a very convenient place to stay. Close to everything I was interested in and a comfortable enough place to spend the night.

This property is an old school motel. They keep this property while maintained, and while there is some issues, it is an older property, but for the price and the location and the amenities it can’t be beat for the area. I would definitely stay here again

Seemed to be pet-friendly. Room 2 was small, but clean. Shower was tight, and the door didn't stay shut unless you locked it from inside the shower. Overall, for a place to lay my head for a night, it was good. Small, dorm-sized fridge, two-burner "range", so it was nice to have a "full kitchen" if I wanted to cook my own food instead of eating out.
