It seemed like it was a basic family owned establishment. The lady at the front was very kind. They were likely doing the best they could, but overall the place was a mid experience. I appreciated that it was hard flooring and not carpet, but the place smelled a bit musty and cigarettes. At night you could hear loud music probably coming from the party venue across the street. Lots of helicopters. It has great reviews on this platform, but just don’t go in expecting it to be more than what it is. It is a standard motel.

The location is terrible. I’m right on the road and there is a crazy man yelling outside of me door. I’ll be leaving first thing in the morning.

It was old, sparse, but clean, except that the bath mat and towels were stained. The comforter on the bed was also stained. But the AC worked well and the bed was comfortable. It was pretty good for the price.
