Regular roadside motel. Clean. Bad a/c (takes hours to cool). Hot shower w/soap and shampoo. Not enough pillows, and little weird dropping off key in check-out box outside lobby in the morning. Seemed almost like a random person picked it up and went upstairs to the room after i left - dunno. But... I mean, good for a night's rest. Gas next door. Sokay.

I have zero idea how this place is ranked at over 7/10. The sheets had holes and stains in them, the please smelled horrible, the air conditioner looked as if it were going to fall out of the wall at any moment and had birds living in it which chirped all damn night, the beds were extremely outdated and uncomfortable, there was animal hair on the sides of both beds which leaves me to assume they had not been cleaned, the pillows were uncomfortable, the water pressure was not great, and the toilet clogged twice due to low water pressure. I see that peoples comments are saying, “for a budget motel you get what you get” but that does not mean that it should be rated higher than a 3 or 4/10

Evening woman in office was charming. Room was reasonably priced, had everything we needed. We didn't need or want to pay for extras. Free breakfast for example isn't really free. Beds & pillows were comfortable and it was quiet. Slept great.

Your receptionist Shannon was a delight to talk to. The room I put on reserve, the TV did not work. She even came to the room to see if she could ger it to work. When it didn't. She moved me and my guest to a different room where the TV worked, but then the Microwaves cord was too short to reach the plug in. So was given an extension cord to make it work.

I stayed here 2 weeks ago when driving to visit family in Michigan and was given the same room and rate in the way back. I'm the type that just wants a clean room comfortable bed and a shower as I travel cross country. This place is a bit old and dated, and needs more outlets but overall, it is clean, convienent and the staff/owners are friendly.

It was ok for a very cheap property. But poor lighting in the room, the door didn't close properly, the whole place smelled like mould, and a noisy inefficient air conditioner. For the price it was ok.

The air conditioner did not work and the room was hot & stuffy. The fan came on but no cold air. No way to move the air around since it was in the top of a wall next to the bathroom alcove. Price of room, though cheap, was to much for what you got. Beds were hard, pillows thin, no air conditioning.

The room, although not fancy, is very comfortable with table and 2 chairs, bureaus and shelves, end tables, large bathrooms. Just well laid out. Off the highway enough to be quiet. Not a pretty setting but lots of birds singing. Our second time here and would stay again.

This is a family run motel, and I showed up late enough for my reserved room that I had to wake up the host with the doorbell at 1 a.m. or so. I realize that this is normal for those who run motels and hotels, but her warm welcome even at that hour stood out.
