This is an older motel but the updated beds and TV make it very comfortable. If you just want a nice clean motel and don't need all the fancy frills this is your motel. Always stay here when coming through.

We had a great stay! Very much worth the price, staff was very nice and helpful, room was very clean, and beds were comfortable. We had a room on an inside hallway, which was nice, however, its in a very safe area and I would have had no concerns if we had been in a room with an outside entrance. We didn't have the breakfast but it looked good. We would recommend this place, and will probably stay again.
