A decent road side stay. The rooms have been updated but they feel worn and tired still. The restaurant is closed and the pool is also. It’s much better than when I stayed here a few years ago. But, it’s a stretch for the price compared to other hotel/motels near by.

An attached restaurant with good home cooked food. It was a simple roadside motel. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable for an overnight stay.
