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

Ok for the night
Although room was clean a paint touch up would do wonders. Markings on walls. The towels were thin. Had to move fridge to plug it in
Cleaning people knocked on the door at about 8:45-9 am which was disturbing check out is at 11 am
Able to park directly in front of room

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.

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.

Great stay!
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.
