The people working at the motel were friendly and tried to help but motel maintenance definitely an issue. When we arrived, the key would not unlock the door. After they attempted other keys and other rooms, finally got into a room. The room was clean and ok, but in the morning realized even though the door was closed and seemed to lock, it was not locked. The window also would not lock.

It was very basic, but it was clean, everything worked and the staff was pleasant. The shower was hot, the cable worked and place was quiet. But just to repeat, it's basic. It's good for a place to crash for the night and then head off to where ever your going. Would stay there again if in the area.

Check in was quick and easy. Getting directions was a bit difficult due to a language barrier. The jey needs to be pulled out of the room door about an 1/8-1/4 inch before it'll turn to unlock the door. For the price, its a great room in a great location. I'd definitely stay agin.

The motel has been updated and seemed very clean. Our room seemed quite moist as the carpet may have been recently shampooed.

Very Clean Older Hotel - Hidden Gem

Don't overlook this little gem. It is an older hotel, but it is very clean and the staff is friendly. The rooms are spacious and they have taken time to update the rooms with stainless steel dormsize refrigerators and microwaves. The towels were soft and felt like new. The bathrooms were small, but very clean and inviting. There was even a little flower made out of toilet paper sealing the roll. There is a small breakfast area, but it included a decent variety, including cheese omelets. The food was kept very fresh and the counters and tables very clean and well maintained. If you are just looking for a friendly place to stay as you travel, don't miss this one. It's obvious the owners take a lot of pride in their hotel.
