A very good stay. Hotel was recently updated and comfortable. Bot ice machines were malfunctioning during our stay, but staff made ice available on request to help alleviate the inconvenience. Great hotel for the price and we will be returning here next year!

There was mold smell all throughout the room, no toiletries, the one pillow was soaked in a yellow stain. Garbage by the door as soon as you walk in. Drugged up people by the door and a receptionist who could care less about her job. ZERO STARS

The motel is very ran down…. It’s ok for the price but we won’t stay again. Tv didn’t work, it sits on dresser and the spot on the wall where it’s supposed to hang is an exposed mess. Not great for kids at night. Stairwell and motel in general needs cleaned and updated
