Good condition, clean, very firm mattresses

A good motel. Room was in good condition and clean. AC worked well, which was appreciated in summer. Mattresses weren't comfortable, very firm. That was the only downside for us.

My room was clean and had nice fresh linens and towels. Staff were very friendly and helpful even offering directions to amenities. The room is a bit run down…holes in walls and damaged floor. Bathroom has been refreshed and I enjoyed a nice hot shower! I will come again. Cheers!
