With a little TLC cleanup outside, and a few updates in room (ie, rattling A/C, carpet) this could be restored to a nice property.

The people who run this motel are really great and provide excellent service. The on site breakfast was great, considering that this is a small, family run place. There is a nice little area outside to relax in. It’s a basic motel, nothing fancy, but very pleasant and friendly.

The motel was clean and comfortable and after 10pm was quiet. We had coffee, tea, orange juice, cereal, hardboiled eggs, toast and more for breakfast. There was a wet area near the refrigerator though. Check in and check out were fast and straightforward.
